Considered Multiple Products
AnyDesk
Chose AnyDesk
AnyDesk is simpler to use than BeyondTrust. Beyond trust is suitable for a bit, but it's a bit heavy. Major guidance is required to guide the next person. Multiple steps are involved before we get remote access. Sometimes, it gets stuck in between. Beyond trust, data transfer …
Chose AnyDesk
The free version of TeamViewer is unstable; the remote connection is frequently lost. Anydesk's remote connection is much more reliable and consistent. Even so, I prefer AnyDesk over other software because it's a lot easier to install and runs very well. Aside from that, its …
BeyondTrust Remote Support
ScreenConnect
Chose ScreenConnect
I used AnyDesk when i was in my previous company. I dont know much about AnyDesk, but it was almost similar to this. Most of the features that are there in ScreenConnect are also there in AnyDesk.
Chose ScreenConnect
We prefer ScreenConnect as it is much better for an MSP with thousands of client machines, the other options don't provide an easy way of accessing a machine quickly enough. We have also had an issue with the other software's reliability to connect. ScreenConnect's integration …
Chose ScreenConnect
Its lightweight and it is slightly cheaper than TeamViewer at least at the time of buying ScreenConnect. But we are exploring any desk and splash top again.
Chose ScreenConnect
For cost and management capabilities, I found ScreenConnect to be the best option. Some of the other services offered easier connection opportunities for my clients, but overall, I liked the tools and price point of ScreenConnect.
Chose ScreenConnect
I think ConnectWise ScreenConnect is by far the superior product to all of these. It is way ahead and does do not even come close. It has way more options and features and is much easier to use and manage.
Chose ScreenConnect
We have used Beyond Trust occasionally for one of our White Label clients, but have found it is not as robust as ConnectWise Control. The seamless integration of Control with ConnectWise Automate makes it the best and most effective choice for our technical teams to deploy and …
Chose ScreenConnect
ConnectWise Control gives you a lot of the features that the other products provide, but nothing that you won't use. Nothing is worse than a clunky remote session where you are fighting for CPU/RAM resources, and ConnectWise Control beats them all hands down. This product is …
Chose ScreenConnect
ConnectWise Control does a better job with on demand access with our clients PCs, than BeyondTrust. However they have better access when it comes to PCs we dont have anything installed on and need them to go to our website to access their PCs.
Chose ScreenConnect
ConnectWise is easy to implement, the software functions and feature support our users equipments. Deployment agents is simple, can be run on demand with url and email. Agent could be pre-install and provide constantly remote access to user PC or equipment. It also offer a …
Chose ScreenConnect
ScreenConnect is more efficient, is easier to learn for newer technicians, is far more feature rich, and the cost was a major deciding factor. ScreenConnect has more features for far less cost, with much more control. The add-ins for the software make it easy to customize and …
Chose ScreenConnect
Cost, cost, cost.
As a non-profit, our resources are extremely limited. Other resources were strong but I had used ScreenConnect for a number of years as an MSP. ConnectWise Control is an extremely strong product for the cost. We looked briefly at GoToMyPC and TeamViewer but …
Chose ScreenConnect
ConnectWise Control has better value for our use cases than other solutions that we evaluated. Some of the competing solutions pile on lots of unnecessary features so they can justify high prices. ConnectWise Control has the features that most users need and doesn't clutter the …
Chose ScreenConnect
Bomgar was very expensive and very difficult to manage, use, and deploy. I wanted both in-house and cloud options available and needed the product to be simple to manage, deploy, and to lower my operating costs. I also needed the licensing for agents to be reasonable.
Chose ScreenConnect
ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect) is faster, renders screens better, is more reliable, runs smaller, scales better, and is more dependable than the competition.
Chose ScreenConnect
By far the easiest interface and most control while maintaining an affordable cost.
Chose ScreenConnect
While the Bomgar appliance has been quite reliable and only requiring an occasional reboot, ConnectWise Control has been 100% reliable. Bomgar was complex to set up, however, the ongoing management isn't overly complex. ConnectWise Control can integrate with Office 365 for …
Chose ScreenConnect
ConnectWise Control is substantially less costly than LogMeIn and Bomgar. We selected ConnectWise Control for this reason.
Chose ScreenConnect
LogMeIn was a very good product with excellent features. Our biggest problem was cost and limitation on number of devices in a price range we could afford. Price instability was a concern as well.

We also reviewed Bomgar and liked a lot of the features. However, there was a …
Chose ScreenConnect
Due to the nature of my business, I'm taking calls, not incoming remote sessions, so all of my remotes are outgoing. Screenconnect is best suited for this. Logmein provides that option but requires more steps.
Again, price was a grace point. The other providers mentioned (and …
Chose ScreenConnect
Features were comparable but price was better with ScreenConnect
Chose ScreenConnect
We selected ConnectWise Control for it's easy licensing model, because it is easy to use, has a fast remote connection, and has good remote support for our customers. We also evaluated TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Bomgar, and other competitors, but ConnectWise Control fits perfectly …
Chose ScreenConnect
Bomgar is a good product but we are actually not evaluating them as a replacement for ScreenConnect. I would say this tool can do more on a privilege level. That would be my future [assesment] of this tool.

In our line of work, the ability to provide a seamless and fast forward approach to support is important. It reflects positively on our support staff and teams when we can resolve issues quickly and effectively whether that's on servers, workstations, mobile devices etc. We have found the software to not be as beneficial on Linux Servers.

We often need to create an ad-hoc session with a device that is not under our management. We find ourselves doing this more than ever in the COVID world. Many people are working from home on personal machines with their employer, our client's permission and we are facilitating more support for these personal machines. Connectwise Control [(formerly ScreenConnect)] gives us a robust resource to control the device, navigate anywhere we need, execute various commands, and engage in an on-screen chat with the client. The session is very simple to create and very user-friendly to initiate. We do not recommend it for Android, Apple, or Chromebook applications. There is little to no support for these platforms.

  • Remote access for macOS computers. We support primarily businesses that use Macs and good macOS support is very important.
  • Maintains logs and screen sharing videos of all sessions. It's peace of mind for us and also helps meet compliance standards that we can tell exactly what happened, every time we access a machine remotely.
  • Allows for easy management of hundreds of computers in a single app. We support hundreds of computers for dozens of companies. Finding the right computer to access is very easy and able to be done with just a few clicks.

  • The interface is easy to use and makes sense. It's easy to understand how to organize a large number of machines involving multiple clients. But, it's also applicable for smaller set of machines too.
  • The connection speed is very quick. I've used solutions in the past that take a variable amount of time to connect, or they just take a long time every time. Control is quick every time. It doesn't get in the way of being able to support the machines on the other end.
  • The connections are reliable. I haven't experienced random disconnects throughout hundreds of instances. It was a breath of fresh air coming from the previous solution we used. I consider Control a gold standard for what a great remote connection solution can be.

Cons
AnyDesk Software
  • we should be able to connect from windows to iphone or ipad, it is now possible to connect to ipad or iphone. AnyDesk can work on this.
  • the field where we enter remote address should be more visible. New user cannot find where to enter the remote address that takes some time to connect. AnyDesk should change the placement of it.
  • If we can change the colour theme of the UI that will be an addon thing. when you daily use AnyDesk you get bored of the same UI.
  • Just like a Xmax UI. Any desk should constantly change somethings which makes the UI visually appealing.

  • Only issue I really have is the jump client goes to queu when our remote vendors shut down their machine. Works in our favor if we lose our connection but that never happens. And this is such a small issue but had to put something in here.

  • I'd like to see the ability to selectively log off the remote machine via a button on the toolbar. Currently it's a setting to always lock on disconnect, or never lock on disconnect, requiring the tech to manually lock the machine if called for at the end of a session. Its a small time save that would add up!
  • The chat feature could be expanded to be a lot more useful. Allowing clients to start conversations, and have conversations ping an email address if no one is monitoring the dashboard would be extremely valuable.
  • Some clarity on licensing when providing host-passes to guest technicians would be a boon, especially for one-off support sessions with vendors.

Bomgar has improved the support we have given as an ICT department and improved the ICT department reputation within the organisation. We have had no issues with Bomgar as a product and it works well. The team at Bomgar are also a pleasure to work with, they follow up with us to see how they can help us use more of the features of the system and really take time to get to know their users and how they use the product.

I would recommend this product for both internal remote control of end user workstations and remote access to other clients over the internet. It provides a secure and feature rich product that allows me to complete any necessary tasks without ever leaving the office. I will continue to renew as I'm eager to see what they do next. I would however wish the cloud service had a better API to work in conjunction with team collaboration or chat services to make it easier to connect with end users who use multiple workstations. (Slack or Stride provide this functionality)

RemoteSupport has the most modern-looking interface I have seen. Its number of features, both nice to have and necessary, is better than any other competing solution on the market. They also prioritize security, so you can be confident that only the people you want accessing a given endpoint have access because their security can be configured to be role-based or as granular as you want.

On the whole SC is a very powerful tool that is a vital part of the IT service arsenal. On-site visits are an "emergency" only type of scenario. Just "showing your face" is not winning any browny points for me. If my client sees my face, it's usually just to upgrade hardware or to deal other aspects of business. SC provides me and my client the bulk of the info I need to get projects done.

As far as uptime is concerned, Since Bomgar creates the Hardware and Software, they can make it the most reliable box in our datacenter, and they also have options for availability and redundancy that we didn't need to utilize, we have a manual fail-over process that we can invoke, but there are configurations that would allow for an automated failover as well.

There is no lag-time at all, no matter how many users we have on the box, it is always entirely dependant on the customers internet speed (as we have a very fast connection), that is the only issue I've EVER seen with Bomgar, no matter how many sessions we run the box is always up, always fast, always working.

It performs well. It also has full control over windows security and does not get hung up like GoToMeeting when trying to install remote software at the prompt to install as admin / override. I have used TeamViewer, WebEx, LogMeIn and GoToMeeting. This is by far the best at spontaneous, remote control. It is also very easy to get a novice user connected to the session.

I didn't have any technical problems and I didn't suffer from bugs or errors. Customer service has improved a lot and I no longer need to leave the office to go to the user's computer.

There have been two times when something has went wrong and I needed immediate assistance in order to be able to use Screenconnect to be able to help clients and response has not been immediate. The response time has been within 24 hours. Both times if there had been easier to navigate self help I would have been able to help myself. With better self help and a speedier response it would definitely be a 10 as they always respond and help. Just a little more difficult or slow than it should be at times

we didn't have in-person training because their online training was so overwhelmingly well done. Start by looking at the docs: http://www.bomgar.com/docs/content/index.htm if that alone doesn't answer all your questions, there will be a window that pops up asking if you would like to chat with a sales representative, or a support engineer. Either of them can answer all of your questions as easily as if they were standing there with you, or talking to you on the phone, it is truly the power of Bomgar!

When we used Webex our customers often had issues because staff in medical offices don't always have easy access to browse the internet.

  • Instead of waiting 30+ seconds to initiate sessions, they initiate and display a desktop in two or three seconds. The amount of frustration this avoids is immeasurable.
