MacVantage is wonderful. I have worked with Phil for over a decade. He is great at communicating to the non-computer person, and he has a great sense about how much to tell you and how much to suggest based on what you state your goals to be. I have never felt overcharged for his time, and he is always available when needed.even in a crisis moment.

MacVantage became my IT consultants more than a decade ago after I was introduced to Phil at a class at the Apple Store. Phil helped me implement a server into my law practice. Since then, he and Bob have become instrumental in every aspect in my IT. When nothing off the self would do the job in a way that complied with regulations we must follow to serve our clients, Bob built for us a practice management system using FileMaker. MacVantage has kept us current and secure and made us a much more formidable and modern law firm than would otherwise have been possible. They have been instrumental in our success.

We were referred to MacVantage by another small business after working with a larger company that we were not happy with. We really enjoy working with Phil and MacVantage. Phil is always willing to educate you on how to fix things if you want to learn. This has been really helpful for issues that we consistently have. They have also helped us get our technology systems up to par with the size of our company and their pricing is always reasonable.

I am happy that the company I work with uses MacVantage. And Phil is the most professional IT person I have met. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. Phil and the other members of MacVantage are always ready to answer our questions. Phil responsiveness cannot be compared, and his vast knowledge with Mac products makes it a breeze to help all of us. We can always be sure that Phil is the one to call when we need to put out "fires". I truly appreciate MacVantage for having such a great person helping the non-computer people like us.

We do not have an IT person on our staffs nd when anything comes up with computers, hard drives, or our internet, MacVantage is always there to help. Recently I needed to change out 2 laptop batteries and they came to the office replaced them got everything working and sent me follow up information to keep everything working at its peak performance. MacVantage always goes above and beyond besides just fixing the problem, they listen to what is going on and find permanent solutions and items I never thought of. We are so gratefully to have them there when ever we need anything!

I work for a small business and we've used MacVantage for the past 5-10 years. They've been a lifeline that we've needed to stay in business. Phil helped us upgrade our equipment and change our server right before the start of COVID which turned out to be instrumental in keeping the business running while allowing our employees to work remotely. They are professional, direct, top notch and will add value to your business.
