  • Getting our users quick and competent support the first time helps to reduce our time per ticket on the difficult issues.
  • Having a solution that works for Mac and Windows computers and was easy to install for our users was critical and not readily available from any of the other vendors we tried.

  • End users love the fact that we can quickly and (almost) effortlessly connect to their computers
  • The cost of the software for us is very reasonable compared to competing products (we have a "grandfathered" plan)
  • Speed of the remote connection is fast enough to make the support person feel like they are sitting at the remote computer. No lag whatsoever!

  • ConnectWise has allowed us to remain mobile in troubleshooting and training.
  • ConnectWise has allowed us to more efficiently train, staying on our feet while presenting.

  • From a business owner point of view, this has helped me substantially as I can now "be" multiple places at once. This allows me to remotely support my own clients quickly and efficiently, without having to make a several hour drive to get on site. Some of my clients I have only worked with remotely! This has helped me build my business and grow my client base without having to try to be everywhere at the same time.
  • From an enterprise user point of view, the ability to set granular access control levels has been greatly beneficial. Also, like the ability to manage connections from a central pane of glass. Saves time when accessing or granting access to a particular system.

  • The simplicity of the initial connection has saved us several hours each month in helping struggling customers get connected.
  • Being able to help a client remotely to configure their e-mail saves us hours and hours on the phone trying to explain what to do next, especially when they're using an unfamiliar e-mail client.

  • We can work on several computers at the same time.
  • Pretty sure this isn't available under mobile or the Windows Store app.
  • We can open a remote session even while the computer is still offline. It will notify us (blinking icon) when the computer comes online. The same goes with a restart, especially on a server. We don't need to keep on looking at the remote screen. It will start blinking when it goes offline and when it comes back online (change of status).
