Neuvision uses ConnectWise to manage all of our clients' infrastructure and offers remote support to individuals that need computer help. This platform helps us tremendously in getting our clients out of computer issues related to adding network devices, removing malware and virus to administering server off hours without the need to physically be there onsite.

Best remote for the money

My technicians and I use ConnectWise Control typically when we have no monitoring agent installed on the client's PC. We are an MSP, but we also do break-fix work for several clients. We use ConnectWise Control for billable remote work for those clients. It allows us to quickly connect to a client's PC, and assess any issues they're having and address them immediately, as opposed to dispatching a technician.

We often need to create an ad-hoc session with a device that is not under our management. 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.

Our IT Department uses ConnectWise Control to view our employee's computers across our entire organization. "In the world of Covid...", many of our employees still work from home, and having an easy way for them to connect into a support session is paramount. Our previous remote support solutions were a lot more clunky and took a larger footprint, and that makes a big difference with an abundance of legacy (ahem, OLD) PC we have out there.

We use ConnectWise Control as part of the ConnectWise, an MSP, across the whole organization. Primarily, it was used in the managed service department and IT for asset management, automation and remote desktop assistance e.g. patch assistance and monitoring. It was useful to have a complete packaged system without the need to work with lots of different software to reach our goals.

We use ConnectWise Control as our remote solution for external and internal employees. The ability to maintain security, provide UAC credentials and provide a great user experience is what makes this product such a great tool. The configuration was easy, and once setup, you don't have to touch it at all. User administration is easy, and provides different levels of access.

We use ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect) to manage remote and control our unattended systems so that we can perform maintenance, support, and even installation. Once connected, we have access to the entire system, but since it does not need any special port forwarding, firewall settings, or other complicated configurations to make it work, we find it a nice solution.

ConnectWise Control was implemented and use by our customer service dept. as a major tool for our technician working to support our customer. However, since the pandemic, we re-implement the software to also support our engineers working from home and connect to their equipment.

At the time in my previous job, [ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)] was used across the entire organization. It was used along with Automate to remote into machines. I have also used it heavily to support people outside of work. It is very versatile and has extremely quick and reliable connections. Fast connections that don't drop are very important when supporting people, and Control doesn't disappoint.

It is a very robust piece of software that allows remote connection for support. It does not require a lot of network speed for a decent connection which is nice. It also appears to work well on Mac's and PC's. The ease of connection also makes supporting non technical users easier

Three years into my startup business and using Screenconnect. Though my RMM tool has another way of connecting it is not as robust as Screenconnect. If all else fails, I use Screenconnect to provide remote support. It is also useful for new and prospective clients who have not been added to my RMM platform. Screenconnect is significantly better than the competition, however their support leaves a lot to be desired.

We use ConnectWise Control to provide remote IT support to our clients. With our regular clients, we have it set up so their computers are always connected and always accessible for remote support. For other clients, we use the function that allows them to temporarily connect their computers for the duration of a service call. Using ConnectWise Control makes it easy for us to provide service to our clients without having to make a trip to their site. We can do things off-hours, when clients are not using their computers, thus limiting disruption to their workday. We can also help clients promptly, rather than having them wait until someone can make a visit to their offices. It also saves us a lot of time and expense by reducing the need to travel to clients' sites.

We use ConnectWise Control to support users on and off the company network, at trade events and at home for troubleshooting issues, for general set up, and for adding software and devices to machines. We use it for any other action that requires us to interact with a user account and not RDP in over them, such as setting up drives and changing printer settings.
