Considered Both Products	N-able Take Control Verified User Administrator Chose N-able Take Control I selected this system because it advertised easy management of computers and servers. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose N-able Take Control N-Able has a lot more control and monitoring in comparison. Remote control is on a whole nother level compared to competitors with screen blanking, mouse and keyboard locking and even remote laser pointing. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose N-able Take Control In my previous job we used Dameware which was a very good tool but lacked the managing capabilities of N-able. It has been a few years, so maybe Dameware has improved in that regard. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose N-able Take Control Bad experiences with ConnectWise platforms in general ruled it out for us at this point in time. To be fair this was not really ConnectWise's fault more the team that set things up poorly leading to significant issues across the system. TeamViewer had long been our go to, but … Helpful? MM Mohammed Mitha CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Chose N-able Take Control N-able Take Control combines AV and Internet Security with Remote control whereas the others are isolated products and requires multiple products to achieve what N-able Take Control can Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose N-able Take Control 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose N-able Take Control It's not half as easy as Solarwinds, and Solarwinds has more features. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Hull RMM Systems Engineer/Exchange Admin Chose N-able Take Control Take Control's feature set blows LogMeIn out of the water, however LogMeIn's general performance once connected, destroys anything that Take Control can currently provide. Incentivized Helpful? AM Austin Metz Help Desk Technician Chose N-able Take Control I use Solarwinds, as all my tools are right there on one platform. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Technician Chose N-able Take Control Take Control can be accessed through a browser whereas Windows Remote Desktop requires settings on the PC and device to remote into the end device. Installing the end devices application has mostly been a flawless install with limited setting configurations. GoToMyPC has … Incentivized Helpful? Les Klassen Hamm Owner Chose N-able Take Control I use both SolarWinds MSP Anywhere and ScreenConnect. SolarWinds MSP Anywhere is perfect for MSP clients on account and with an agent installed. It's integrated and makes all the connected tasks easier and the workflow is improved. Incentivized Helpful? Brian W. Caldwell BIT \| MIS CSO (Chief Security Officer) Chose N-able Take Control Quite simple in the cost to function ratio. It was as simple as that. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	N-able Take Control
Likelihood to Recommend	N-able 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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	N-able 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	N-able 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. Incentivized Kevin Hull RMM Systems Engineer/Exchange Admin Read full review
Usability	N-able The interface needs a lot of updating. It's just too "busy." Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	N-able 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	N-able 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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review
