    This product is a must for any help desk that is supporting an active directory based network. Scope action capabilities also make it valuable to systems administrators etc.

    I have used a number of remote access systems over my IT/MSP career, and Take Control stands out as the best I have ever used. If you are using the N-Able RMM I highly recommend, Take Control over the other options that can be integrated into the platform

    Pros

    • Take Control is really good at accessing a device with no end-user involvement. The user doesn't have to click on permissions or visit a particular site. We simply can take control of their device from the RMM dashboard.
    • If Microsoft issues a patch/update, I can schedule a release of a mass install to all client sites at the click of a mouse from within my office.

    Cons
    Goverlan Inc.
    • Machines must be online for actions to be performed, scopes allow you to rerun them against failed objects only but really a much better option would be for client agent to check in at power on for open jobs.
    • Newest version of Reach is glitchy on Windows 10 requiring the occasional restart of the application.

    • Performance on low-end machines.
    • Verbosity when changing stream quality.
    • File manager needs improving, dragging files causes graphical issues.
    • Connection time needs to be reduced.
    • Ability to adjust re-connection time.
    • Integration with more password-storage applications.
    • Screen blanking is buggy in some instances and makes the session unusable.

    The interface needs a lot of updating. It's just too "busy."

    Not as full featured for Microsoft products but better at cross platform uses. Agent-less option works better in Goverlan.

    We were primarily a team-viewer customer before this point but the continued increases on cost, feature issues as well as core functionality and load issues we were beginning to see on the host machines we started looking for other options. As we were already a solar-winds customer utilizing the SAAS and Take Control for our Managed customers it was a no-brainer to look into Take Control. After a short review and the fact that we are already very familiar with the system via our management dashboard, it was an easy yes

    Return on Investment

    • With a product like this it is entirely possible that you will see large increase in Help Desk efficiency for those who are willing to take the time to fully explore its possibilities.
    • Much more robust that any other remote support product I have used while still extremely cheap compared to competing products. This can bring enterprise level support options to those that may normally not be able to afford it.
    • Reporting features are invaluable to anyone wanting to truly know what is happening on their network.

    • We we're able to bundle Take Control into our RMM pricing removing the need to pay for a separate system and maintain its intergration
    • Remote access is only a click away saving our techs time
    • Reliable connection mean issues are resolved without having to 'fix' the remote access first
