ConnectWise Control allows me to manage a large number of computers in my organization from a central office. I have unattended access installed on around 50 machines and create several ad-hoc sessions per day. We have 10 offices in my company and 90% of the little problems that pop up on a daily basis I am able to address remotely without the need to drive to my other locations. This is a huge time and resource saver for me.

We used LogMeIn Rescue for a decade. With its price of $130/month, I decided to take a look at what alternatives were available. ConnectWise Control was the best solution to fit our needs. The ability to white label the domain was awesome and assured customers it was only our company that is granted access to their computer.

It's used daily in both my personal work/projects and professional as well. I also use it for my clients via both my server and some of their own installations. It helps give collaboration screen to screen as well as support. Very dynamic use allowing speedy and clean file transfers and many other features, such as messaging.

ConnectWise Control provides our technology department with the management solutions for our district's Windows client computers. It gives us the ability to jump on mid-session, without interrupting the active user with remote desktop, so we can provide quick remote support to clients across our school district. Client computers might fall under the responsibility of multiple technicians for different reasons and the LDAP authentication makes it easy to make sure that technicians have access to the correct machines. If any of our staff are off premises/traveling for something like professional development ConnectWise Control allows us to still provide quality remote support without any extra headaches.

Connectwise Control is used many times a day to repair issues on client computers and assist users with problems they have on their PCs. We also administer it for our clients that need remote access to their own PCs. It makes it extremely quick to address problems without the cumbersome issues introduced by competing products we have used in the past.

I use ConnectWise Control's Remote Agent to manage 70 workstations across our four warehouses in Canada. This allows me to troubleshoot problems faster and feels as if I was physically there.

Our business is a multi-site business, with field workers using tablets and laptops with remote access. It is sometimes difficult to get onto each field or to each site to support their IT. ConnectWise Control allows me to effortlessly manage all devices in our business and offer remote support regardless of if I am in the office or working remotely.

We have ScreenConnect through our support organization, Educational Service Unit 6. As far as I am aware it is used across the whole organization. We are able to connect to every single platform we need to support that we cannot reach with Apple Remote Desktop. We can access Windows Desktops/Servers; we can access Linux boxes. It connects to everything!

We use ConnectWise to guide our new clients on how our system works. Also, we use the software to trouble shoot problems our clients are facing. It was an easy process to get started with ConnectWise. It only took me about an hour to get all our support reps set up and ready to help our clients.

We use it for remote access. It is being used by the IT dept. for the whole organization—for the users who are not on site all the time, at remote offices or locations or on the road. It makes it quick and easy to access user computers; we can help them better, faster, easier.

ConnectWise Control is used as a medium to connect with our clients to demonstrate our product, and to help them understand the product and use it. It is a very simple product, and it's easy to connect with the client's computer. It has a lot of useful features and resources to help you connect to a remote desktop or laptop; you just need to log in. It is secured.

We use ConnectWise Control to connect with our clients for remote work and to assist them with their IT needs. It allows us to connect when a client is a "possible" prospect or if our other RMM agent has failed.

We use Connectwise Control to assist users who are offsite and need assistance with their computer and/or software. It is especially helpful when the user is having trouble connecting to the company VPN and thus there is not another easy way for IT to access their computer.

We use Connectwise Control for remote access to manage endpoints in our environment. We have a few locations without dedicated IT staff and having a reliable solution to access those computers has been transformational.

We use ScreenConnect in the support department, for two purposes - troubleshooting and training. It allows us to speed up the process of troubleshooting when clients call in to the support line with problems or questions that can't easily be answered without seeing what they're actually doing. From a training perspective, it's a useful tool when delivering remote training, as it allows our staff to clearly and easily demonstrate elements of the system without having to spend too long in dry descriptions.
