ASG-Remote Desktop
Best for users that have many desktops or servers they need to login to. Great in my environment of multiple clients and the need for fast login and resolution of their issue. If you have a large infrastructure or multiple clients, this is a product you need!

Excellent for remote control and file transfer.Not well suited for running delayed commands. The command kill time is 10,000 milliseconds, causing commands to time out.

Cons
- Can be overly complicated at first, but you can add into the features as you build your organization skills

- Globally set the Run Command Kill Time (timeout) to 3780000. I have a command that runs a timer for 63 minutes & wish to execute it remotely. It can be done it via More...>Run Command and 2 consecutive commands. But I wish to set the timeout globally.
- I reported this issue and it was thrown back at me to fend for myself on the forum. Below is an example of non-service disguised as friendly service ("I'm at your service.").

- Hello Michael.
- Thank you for reaching out to ConnectWise Support. I will have the pleasure of helping you with this ticket.
- Unfortunately there is no global timeout that you can set for Commands. However this is a great idea for an enhancement request that you can send to our enhancement forums to get it possibly looked at for a future release of Automate: connectwise.com/enhancements
- Thank you,

- Hi Michael and thank you for contacting ConnectWise Automate Support -
- I just wanted to let you know that i was going over your inquiry regarding modifying the Global Timeout for commands.
- Just as Mr. Felt already explained, Automate doesn't provide a way to change that but you can submit an enhancement request for that:
- https://university.connectwise.com/university/EnhancementForum/EnhancementForum.aspx
- I hope this helps. If you need any additional assistance, please let me know. I'm at your service.
- Have a great day and thank you for contacting ConnectWise Automate Support,

While the desktop client is great. The mobile client is lacking. Controlling it is difficult compared to Microsoft Remote Desktop.

The past 45 days, only had one outage that lasted about 15 minutes. NOT TOO SHABBY! There have been some unexpected reboots and moves but not a show stopper in any way.

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.

Great product, use it daily with a second support staff. Would love to see this expanded with other systems such as Slack or other collaboration software where a user can easily share their screen, do a conference or access another users screen quickly and easily. This isn't the most friendly for "non-techy" people when comparing to Slack's ScreenShare solution but it works very well with our use case scenarios

I find ScreenConnect to be very simple and effective overall, with the main problem being that a number of my clients can't download the app due to existing firewalls and so on. Otherwise it does its job well, and I'm happy with it.

ConnectWise has done everything they could to help us in any situation. Great support team and their new updates are always providing features that we need. Its a simple solution that works the way we need it to. Their legacy pricing model is still much better than their subscription based model however it is still fair pricing

Alternatives Considered
ASG-Remote is very flexible and with so many options available it makes the configuration you want for your setup super simple. Other products do not offer the extra features for database and reporting. As well, it offers all the connection types you can possibly think of. The ability to automate tasks for regular servers and workstations is amazing!

I did a lot of research and when you compare price and functionality, ConnectWise Control is the definite winner! When comparing all the features in our original planning phase of multiple softwares, screenconnect or connectwise control did the most for the best price. Another technician in our office wanted to pursue Bomgar. That was great, but our budget was very tight. We needed a remote support client and I did a couple trials of ScreenConnect at the time and it was a hit!

As far as I can see there are no real barriers to scaling up - as and when we need more subscriptions, we can add them in with no negative impact to the existing way that we're using the tool
