  • Increased efficiency because I can work on machines (when available) via remote sessions.
  • Makes my business more marketable due to being able to offer a "hands off" experience...where I don't need to step in the door and gives me a more flexible schedule.
  • Give me greater user coverage since I can support users that are not in the general area. I have done and current do this with businesses and organizations.

  • We have gained support efficiencies as a result of being able to control computers remotely.
  • We've saved a great deal of time being able to use the command line option through the interface to perform certain tasks if a computer is not responsive.
  • The chat panel is really handy to have rather than staying connected via phone to be able to let people know of any information or instructions required.

  • ConnectWise has brought our costs down to a manageable level after our former product LogMeIn vastly increased their prices at very short notice.
  • Allowed support staff to be more productive by supporting from our offices. Travel time and associated costs are greatly reduced for both our staff and customer support reduced.
  • Each support call is quicker as we see what is happening on target PC rather trying to guide non-technical people by phone only.

  • Positive: We can help customers remotely and prevent return service calls for computer repair customers.
  • Positive: We can help new website customers set up their email and troubleshoot if they try to set it up on their own.
  • Positive: The ability to have remote sessions makes one person far more productive and getting things done more efficiently means we can do more remotes at the same rate which makes us more money.

  • One set of tools for remote control, meetings and pc management. This avoids two programs. Although a separate phone conference call provider is still required unfortunately.
  • Remote printing and file transfer are nice features allowing for end-users to use as an alternative to RDP. We are moving away from terminal services.
  • Ease of license management is nice.

  • I have not yet started billing end users for use of the software, but it has crossed my mind as a potential ROI.
  • I love that I can have fast, reliable access to my clients just by being in front of a browser.
  • I have run into a few issues on first time installs, but a forced reinstall has always resolved it.

  • Overall cost so far is less for the one of me than a similar package we had been using of a competitor.
  • Subsequent connection speed to remote systems, due to automatically saved credentials, is fast and so my efficiency of connecting to my techs has improved.
  • Multi-monitor support (if I have multiple monitors, and so does the computer I'm connecting to, is not as good as a competitor we still have to use for such use - 3 monitors remote and local, with ConnectWise Control, the best I can do is drag the window between them - would be more efficient to be able to have each screen map to a different local screen, or be separate windows I can move around.

  • Instead of waiting 30+ seconds to initiate sessions, they initiate and display a desktop in two or three seconds. The amount of frustration this avoids is immeasurable.
  • Once installed it doesn't need more handholding, i.e., having the remote enter a username/password. It is always just there.
