She represents Software Wholesale Intl. professionally, respectfully and a 100% committed. A quick true story: While working from home and sick she still assisted me with a quote that we later added more and purchased the next week.

Reviewed by:mnpcorpIT Reviewed on:10/19/2012
- Pros
- We were recently strong armed into a SAM engagement by our previous software VAR. Once our license deficiencies were established, we contacted Software Wholesale Intl. for assitance as we did not want to continue doing business with our previous VAR. A fantastic individual by the name of Abby Hanson assisted us with every question we had and the quoting process. She kept everyone (myself, our previous VAR, Microsoft) up to date on the situation and made the whole process exponentially less stressful. A fantastic group to deal with thus far.
- Cons
- Nothing thus far.

The Easy Button for MSDN Licensing
- 5.0
Reviewed by:_Art_ Reviewed on:4/22/2011
- Pros
- I've been using SWI for many years now. They do a great job at making the MSDN renewal process understandable and easy. SWI's sales and support are always courteous and responsive. Love the PowerPoint procedure they provide to walk you through the entire process.
- Cons
- If I must pick something, I'd have to say the occasional automated sales e-mail to check on our "Current Software Needs?". SWI does great and I would definitely check with them without hesitation as software needs arise without the need for e-mail queries.
- Additional Comments
- The MSDN licensing process can be very confusing... and over the years Microsoft continues to revise / change the process. I want to minimize the amount of time I spend administering the MSDN plans for our company and SWI is a big help!

SWI takes the hassle out of MSDN licensing
- 5.0
Reviewed by:steveapp5 Reviewed on:4/21/2011
- Pros
- I've reviewed SWI before and given a five-star review, but once again, they've come through again in helping me navigate through my company's MSDN licensing. We needed to add a seat to our volume MSDN license, and it was impossible to glean from Microsoft's own websites how to do this. No sweat -- one quick email to SWI, and my customer service and sales reps got me signed up with a new seat right away; literally in one day. There's simply NO WAY our organization will even consider going any other route when it comes to purchasing Microsoft licenses in the future.
- Cons
- Hard to come up with criticisms, but let's see... The website isn't the prettiest, but it's perfectly usable.
- Additional Comments
- With all the Microsoft license scammers out there, we were a little worried about giving over our money to an internet-only storefront. This is totally unfounded in the case of SWI -- this company is our new "go to" solution for MSDN licensing. Great job, SWI!

Terrific relationship with SWI
- 5.0
Reviewed by:snickered21 Reviewed on:11/18/2010
- Pros
- Being a network admin that deals with everything from AD, to Exchange, to Windows/Unix Servers, to Cisco routers/switches/voice gateways, to proprietary applications, etc... I'm a VERY busy person. Microsoft doesn't help this situation by forcing people to earn a PhD in licensing. I simply don't have time to learn the ins and outs of the plethora of licensing models Microsoft has designed. How many server OS VMs can I run on Win2k8 R2 Std? Ent? Datacenter? How many licenses do I need for Exchange? Server licenses? User CALs? Ugh, it's a huge mess. Enter Malcolm from SWI. This guy is a genius, I ask him ANYTHING licensing related and he knows the answer. It's been an absolute delight having him on my side.
- Cons
- There is nothing I would change about my experience with SWI. They are always very polite, understanding, and most importantly - reliable. I've found in my field I constantly have to follow-up to make sure people are doing what they said they'd do. It doesn't matter if it's my ISP, software vendor, hardware vendor, you name it. It's becoming very hard to trust someone will do what they say. With Malcolm, this isn't the case. For example, we discussed consolidating my licenses several months before some of them were to expire. Sure enough, when the time came around to renew he was on top of it. He called me, explained how we would consolidate and got it done. Very quickly and very efficiently.
- Additional Comments
- Truly remarkable customer service and expertise. The prices are great too. SWI has come in under some pretty shady (the ones that probably burn copies of Office and sell at discounts) sites.

- This was the last reseller listed on Microsoft's Visual Studio "how to buy" page that I contacted, after almost giving up in frustration with five or six others. I had to educate most of them on the Visual Studio 2010 upgrade offer, and some didn't even have a clue what Visual Studio was. We were about ready to purchase three two-year VS Team Suite licenses from a very well known reseller, when the rep called me back and told me the licenses were no longer avaialble. I never heard of SWI before but I gave them a call anyhow. The rep was extremely knowledgable and offered us a 3-year license at a better price than the other reseller's 2-year license. We're a growing company so we decided to purchase five licenses instead of two, and saved a boatload of money over the next three years. I will definitely use SWI for all our future software purchases.

SWI very helpful getting me through Microsoft's awful licensing process
- 5.0
Reviewed by:NicknamesAreDumb7 Reviewed on:5/25/2010
- Pros
- They were helpful in reducing the confusion from Microsoft's extremely complicated, convoluted and non-nonsensical bulk licensing process. It only took me 2 weeks to get the software I was looking to download that day! Without their assistance, I'm confident it would have taken close to 4 weeks to pay for and download software from Microsoft.
- Cons
- Nothing, they were pleasant and helpful.
- Additional Comments
- While they were helpful, Microsoft's licensing process required me to find a machine with IE7 on it, as it would work in no other browser. Incidentally, this required me to drive 20 minutes to a friend's house to use his PC. Unfortunately this did not work the first time, so I had to borrow my friend's PC (take with me) so that I could do it during business hours so SWI could walk me through Microsoft's Web page in order to check the right check boxes. And yes, this required me to return the PC, another 40 minutes of my life gone. Microsoft, you are usually my hero, but this process did not win you any favors in my book. As a side note, I attempted to make "NicknamesAreDumb" my nickname (as pinpoint required one), and (not surprisingly) that name was already taken!

MSDN Volume Subscription from SWI
- 5.0
Reviewed by:gripper_for_hire Reviewed on:5/20/2010
- Pros
- The sales contact was knowledgeable to my needs, and steered me towards an MSDN 3-year volume license that was broken into annual payments, which made the product more affordable for my business. After the purchase was made, SWI's customer service provided excellent step-by-step information walking me through the complex setup process of activating a Volume License for MSDN.
- Cons
- The only thing I would recommend SWI improve would be their web site. Currently the web site is great if you know exactly what you are looking for through the search. However, it doesn't support browsing/window shopping capabilities; such as listing all products with filters.
- Additional Comments
- Overall I have been very pleased with SWI and would recommend them to my clients.

- Price of special offer was unstable. In February, I was told that a special offer would be available until 9 April. On 31 March the special offer was removed from the site. I was told that the special offer was ending that day (31 March). On 1 April it was back. I made my purchase on 31 March even though I was planning to make my purchase on 1 April.

Software Wholesale Intl was great
- 5.0
Reviewed by:JohnH567 Reviewed on:5/12/2010
- Pros
- SWI was a godsend. Microsoft's licensing process to purchase a simple MSDN subscription was so horrific its a wonder that they are still in business. I can say with certainty that with SWI's help navigating this dismal fever swamp of bureaucracy, we'd never have bothered to make the purchase. I live in NYC and have to go to the DMV in midtown Manhattan to get my drivers license renewed. Microsoft makes the NYC DMV look customer service focused.
- Cons
- My only complaint about SWI is that they aren't able to insulate the customer from the agony that is Microsoft licensing processes.
- Additional Comments
- If you find yourself needing to go down the path of licensing Microsoft products, I strongly encourage you enlist SWI's help. To go it alone is like trying to climb Mt. Everest without a guide or a pack of sherpas.

MSDN Subscription activation process
- 5.0
Reviewed by:Techie5609 Reviewed on:5/7/2010
- Pros
- The Microsoft subscription activation process is extremely laborious and complicated. There are so many emails and cookie-cutter instructions that it's overwhelming. Jessica from Software Wholesale Intl. was extremely professional, competent, and prepared (she really knew the process), that she made the registration/activation process so easy. I still got stuck on a step, which happened to be a known issue at the Microsoft site, but Jessica was diligent in following up with with an Microsoft Agent on a three-way call, which solved the problem in about 3 minutes. I would not have been able to get this done without her help and guidance and helpful tutorials. It's no wonder one of my trusted business parters recommended them.
- Cons
- The sales order process was lengthy. Only one agent could take my order and he was never really available. Only after I told the agent on the phone that I was going to purchase the subscription through another company because I couldn't wait any longer, did he take my order directly.
- Additional Comments
- I am placing another order in a few weeks and I'll definitely do it through Software Wholesale Intl.

Reviewed by:it8 Reviewed on:5/6/2010
- Pros
- In search for MSDN subscription for my company I was looking for lowest price. CDW was my first option, but their sale rep was apparently confused about variety of licensing option and was trying to sell me the most expensive one. With SWI I met clear knowledge of MS licensing and reasonable (yet slightly higher price).
- Cons
- There is a chance you could be frustrated by this company. While majority of people there are really helpful and respectful, you might get shocked if you get Jessica as your customer representative.
- Additional Comments
- I do not know if it is SWI's or Microsoft's mistake, but when I order two identical subscriptions form SWI, somehow I end up with only one of them having DVD media. It is not a bid deal since mostly I use downloads. Yet it is frustrating that my customer representative did not care to check for accuracy.

- Both Jessica and Arturo were very helpful throughout the process. The Microsoft MSDN licensing is not straight forward; however, the SWI process was very thorough. Arturo and Jessica have both followed up throughout the process. In fact, Arturo emailed me just a few weeks ago to let me know about a deadline for any of my colleagues to get the same pricing. I was likely a difficult customer due to my attempting to understand the contracts. Arturo called me after work hours from his cell phone on a Friday in order to keep me from waiting for the entire weekend. Great service!

SWI

Reviewed by:NickReqIsAnnoyingCrap Reviewed on:4/8/2010
- Pros
- Great customer service. I entered the wrong e-mail address originally, but they were quick to help me correct this.
- Cons
- Nothing. I wish the MSDN pricing was lower, but SWI had the best available.
- Additional Comments
- I won't be doing anymore reviews no matter how many companies I deal with, your review system sucks.

Customer Service at Software Wholesale Intl
- 5.0
Reviewed by:lcolson Reviewed on:4/6/2010
- Pros
- I've been a customer of Software Wholesale Intl for a number of years now (maybe 5 or 6) and have always been happy with the service they provide. Most recently, during my renewal process for my MSDN application, I had some problems registering with the Microsoft site due to browser incompatibility issues. I got in touch with Jessica, who is in Customer Service at SWI and she got my problem fixed in a snap. I'd go so far as to call it a pleasant experience, as much as any software problem can be 'pleasant'. I can highly recommend SWI.
- Cons
- I've found nothing that I have not liked in dealing with SWI.
