I currently administrator 3 networks with ConnectWise software. In addition to these three networks, I use the software to help friends, family and colleagues with remote sessions for a variety of tasks. Some of the most common uses are; remote control of user desktops to solve technical and software issues, screen sharing and software installation and setup.

I use ConnectWise Control in my role as IT manager to support my fleet of desktops, laptops, and mobile phones and tablets. It allows me more flexibility in terms of how many machines I can support and where I can support them from. I also have a role in our company's electronic security department (alarms, CCTV, and access control), and we use ConnectWise Control to help our techs in the field as they program or troubleshoot equipment. The software is also periodically used to remotely control the computers of our clients when they're having an issue with their alarm, CCTV, or access control software.

I have been using ConnectWise Control to support my end users for the past year and I love it. I had been using LogMeIn for several years prior and it became way too expensive. I did my research and moved to ConnectWise and I've never looked back. I couldn't live without the unattended access to manage my servers and also the ability to share screens both ways. It's incredibly simple to use and set up.

I'm a one man operation and I use this product multiple times a day to support my users. It's fantastic.

With the increase in our workforce and the ever-evolving demands of cybersecurity, we decided to go with ConnectWise as a solution for our IT department. This tool is used by our IT infrastructure teams to help diagnose problems in the company issued work machines. We decided to use ConnectWise because of its compatibility with all commonly used OS including Linux machines.

ConnectWise Control has made it possible for me to work on other things and still be able to provide support to the Users around our plant. It has drastically cut down on the time users need to wait for support. It is a great product for any I.T. person and makes support tickets much easier to process. Currently we are also using ConnectWise to take care of other locations and provide support to salesman that are on the road and it makes it really easy to solve a multitude of problems without the hassle of trying to talk someone through how to correct a problem on the phone.

It is being used to allow for remote support of both monthly billed clients and one-off client service requests. Virtually every PC we work on receives an installation of ScreenConnect so should the client discover an issue that was either not resolved, or something new develops we are quickly able to connect to the system and review the situation first hand.

ConnectWise is being solely used for the remote support of our customers and servers. It allows us an easier client experience compared to other programs. It solves the problem of having a quick response to client issues. It also allows us access to our remote customer servers in real time. We use the product across our team of support engineers.

I use ConnectWise Control to connect to computers outside my organization for two purposes. 1. For briefly helping the person on the other end on an issue, and at the same time allowing them to see what I am doing for teaching purposes. 2. To take complete control over the PC without the need for them to be there.

It's really easy to use once set up. I am using it for business purposes and personal. I can connect to my parents' computers and fix them when they are not able to figure out the problem.

I use ConnectWise instead of setting up my router to allow me to remote in, using port configuration that is a security risk.

I use ConnectWise Control to remotely manage and connect to a small office of about 10 computers and a server. I am the only one who uses it/manages it. It allows me to have access anytime without having to physically access the computers, as well as be able to see important information about the computers.

I'm currently using ConnectWise Control to maintain software on a variety of models of PCs which are not on a domain. ConnectWise Control is vastly superior to the product we were previously using (and MUCH more reasonably priced). I would recommend it to someone looking for an easy and powerful remote desktop tool which won't break the bank.

We use ConnectWise to easily remote into any of our Mac computers. It has an integration with our Mac Remote Management tool, Addigy. It's super easy to click to connect from the Addigy console and remote into users' computers to complete whatever task is needed. This tool is mainly used by our IT department as they are the main users of the tool, everyone else is just the recipient of the help ConnectWise provides.
