Our ConnectWise Control is used in our IT department, to carry out routine maintenance on core servers with the access mode and we also use it for carrying out remote support sessions with our clients. It allows a very fluid experience for external users and with the ability to brand the landing page, it allows us to grow confidence within our clients as well.

We use ConnectWise Control on a daily basis to assist our customers as well as internal staff with PC issues that would normally require a truck roll often resolved within minutes.

ConnectWise Control is primarily used by our DevOps and IT infrastructure teams to help diagnose problems in our company issued machines. With the expansion of the company workforce into international countries, we allowed the employees to use operating systems of their own preference. We decided to proceed with ConnectWise due to its compatibility with all commonly used OSs.

It allows us to remotely help people with their day to day issues. The good part is the performance and the underlying security across it. We use it across the whole organization. It usually gives us a better way of addressing desktop server related issues in no time.

Any impact on a user's machine, actually hampers his work, so we found this solution gives us a no-time solver remotely.

ScreenConnect was used as a way to provide technical support for external clients. We used this method of screen sharing to monitor servers, quarantine computers, and MacBooks. It helped us update software, configure computer systems, and perform day to day operations. It makes it incredibly easy to help customers as well as send/retrieve files from their computer.

We were using other screen sharing applications and this one was one of the easiest to use. We use it to help our customers remotely. We like the ease of giving them a URL or sending them an email and then in a few quick seconds being able to remote into their computers or networks to help solve their problems.

Control (or ScreenConnect) is part of the Automate (LabTech) software package and works extremely well as a remote desktop application into managed servers and workstations. ConnectWise has made significant updates to the software as time has gone on. Control has the ability to reconnect after reboot, initiate safe mode reboots, implement custom scripts, and is very quick to connect. As time has gone on, ConnectWise has slowly integrated more and more features and today, it has all of the features that standalone products dedicated to remote access have.

We use ConnectWise Control across our entire tech department. The product has handled remote supporting customers better than any other product or service we have used. Customers find it easy to use and connect with. The product is stable and easy to manage. The price of the product when you look at value and support is very much worth it.

Using ConnectWise Control made life easy in corporate. It easily connects with clients located at a distance. It can easily share any type of files like pdf, doc, csv, mp3 etc. It is highly compatible software with solid features, and is easy to understand for new users too. Reliable and intuitive: it is used to demonstrate projects and software to clients, solve their problems/queries and share files in our organization.

In a small IT service provider and MSP, we use it both for unplanned, on-demand requests for help and also continuously on some client machines. We use it to primarily provide remote support, saving time and travel costs.

I am a sole proprietor and use the software daily and for my subcontractors as needed. The ability to have a client build their own session and I join it is amazing. The reliability and flexibility of the offerings are second to none in my experience. The fact that the entire solution is cloud-based with a minimal install and support packages is fantastic. I can log in to my admin sole from any device and have full access.

Unattended access and unlimited session time allow clients to simply build and let me know to address an issue. The chat function reduces unnecessary emails.

ConnectWise Control is used to provide remote support small and medium-sized business clients. I have used other software solutions but found problems with them. ConnectWise Control just works when you need it. I haven't had any problems with connections. What more could you want?

Effective and easy to use. Used for Training sessions and giving product demos to clients from remote places. Record demos and send to the clients and others. I can use any device that can be connected. I can give remote support, gain remote access and run remote meetings. It's made it easy to solve problems whenever required urgently without being available personally. Sometimes we need to do multi-site sessions and ConnectWise Control is able to handle it very easily.
