I have one login set up at our restaurant to allow the managers to remotely connect to the Aloha server, to run reports. The building is too small for an office, so the server was set up in an attic area. Being able to remote in for the managers has saved them a lot of time and provided more convenience in their job. I also have another login I use at our property management company to remote into the computers at properties that need IT assistance.

Our solutions dDepartment uses the software to support our Managed IT customers for software, hardware, and VOIP Systems support. We also use the software internally to manage our own hardware and software infrastructure.

We use ConnectWise for remote support connecting to phone and voicemail systems for adds, moves, and changes. This allows us to save on windshield time and also a lower rate for our customers.

This tool allows us to respond quickly for all requests. The customer sees how fast we can support them using this tool!

We use ConnectWise in two ways:
  • Primary use - Our IT team has ConnectWise access agents set up on all company computers. This allows us to monitor computer uptime and remotely administer computers. We occasionally run remote scripts against groups of remote computers to avoid hands-on or manual work on each computer. Additionally, we provide desktop support to end users as needed with the always connect ConnectWise access agents.
  • Secondary use - Our training team uses ConnectWise access agents to project training computers onto conference room screens. A trainee can be using a point of sale computer, and the trainer can connect remotely from a projected screen so the rest of the training group can see what is happening on screen.

I use ConnectWise Control to manage 100+ IT customers on a daily basis and well as access personal resources remotely. Without ConnectWise, it would be nearly impossible to offer the level of service that I can by using ConnectWise. I am currently a one-man show, but when I have more employees, they will also be using ConnectWise daily. ConnectWise has solved a few problems for me. I can get to my customer's issues faster than ever, I don't have to open ports in my firewall or customer firewalls in order to use RDP, and all of the features it has built it prevents me from spending money on gas.

Our business offers remote support to over 800 clients to quickly and easily troubleshoot any software problems or questions they have with their computer. We also use it to help diagnose hardware issues as well. It has saved our business thousands of miles worth of travel and helped our customers get instant support when they need it. We were using a different company for this (which was far worse and had fewer features) when they decided to raise their prices by 400% so we started looking for other options. I'm glad we were forced to look at the competition because this is a much better solution. Without this software, I'm not sure we would still be in business.

We use Connectwise Control (Screenconnect) as our primary remote control software, supporting nearly 400 connected devices. We have deployed it permanently to all our clients as well as use it for ad hoc connections. We also have remote connections to servers and workstations through other means, including our RMM platform, but ConnectWise's ease of use, speed and versatility have made it our go-to for our management uses.

We use ConnectWise Control for technical support in using our software. We've struggled with other screen sharing software in the past and have really enjoyed the ease of use and features included with ConnectWise Control. It is easy for our users to start a session and easier for our technicians to be able to do their job. We also use it with our Quality Assurance team to access user machines that are having unique issues that we aren't able to replicate in house.

We use ConnectWise Control for instant connections to customer systems for remote support. We also use it for allowing remote users to connect to servers on our network from remote sites.

ScreenConnect has made our daily workflow much easier when trying to connect to remote users. It's easy for end users to install if we need to gain immediate access. I would recommend this product for the simple fact that it makes our help desk run so much smoother, and we can quickly help the customer. Only the IT department uses it. the chat feature is also handy when we need to contact end users quickly instead of calling their office.

I use ConnectWise daily to remote to customers' systems and manage and resolve issues. I also use it to record, take snapshots of errors, and control flow processes to determine how to resolve issues at a later time. I have used quite a few remote control agents over the years, and the only product I come back to and use is this one. I cannot say enough good things about it. I currently use Team Viewer and Splashtop, but they are just backups to Connectwise control.

My department has used ConnectWise Control and ScreenConnect in the past mostly to wirelessly connect laptops or tablets to the desktops that project on our conference room displays. Our department handles training for the hospital, so we often have to present on our feet. Training also means that we are often away from our desks in the offices of others. We will use ConnectWise to access functions that are only accessible at our personal workstations.

I am very happy with the ConnectWise Control product and have used it for many years. I operate a local computer service company, and ConnectWise Control provides me the ability to be there without actually being there. I have a self-hosted installation and love it! I currently have a multitude of sites that are always on and give me a persistent connection. This is great for the headless servers or the digital signage installations It allows me to quickly capture a screenshot of what is actually going on without taking over control. I also like that I can access my sites from my mobile device or my tablet quickly and easily. I do not encounter much lag at all. I like how quickly I can create a support session as well! Very happy all the way around and will continue using for years to come!

Our company supports over 80 customers globally across the retail sector with over 600 machines. Due to the nature of our customers' businesses any downtime can be critical and so needs to be kept to a minimum. We need to quickly and effectively remotely diagnose an issue or connect and control a machine at any time. We have used other more expensive applications before ConnectWise and none have been anywhere near as flexible or function rich. We often require multiple agents to connect simultaneously to 1 machine, send commands or transfer files. We have simple overview details of the machine's specifications and status of their internet connectivity. These functions alone allow us to resolve 15% of logged support calls, without an agent needing to remotely connect.
