N-able Take Control vs. Venn Software

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

Venn is suitable if you are considering to transition to remote work. It's security features are reliable, and although live support is not 24/7, the reponse time is timely and accurate.

• 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.

• Screen blanking is buggy in some instances and makes the session unusable.

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

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

Venn Software delivers better result and mcuh cheaper as compared to the traditional VDI.

• 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

• Reduced company cost by approx. 20%
• Higher retention rate as majority of employees preferred to work remotely
