Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control

I use ConnectWise as a remote support tool for my clients, I normally set up all clients that I onboard as unattended access. So if they have an issue I can easily drop in and fix the issue. This saves time for me and the client. 90 percent of the issues can be fixed remotely. [This] Saves the clients the trouble of bringing their computer into the shop.
  • Easy to use after a few days of casual use, it's really simple to get the hang of.
  • Transferring files back and forth is a nice feature.
  • The hosted toolbox for tech installer files is a nice feature.
  • Sometimes installed agents will show offline.
  • The toolbox could you some work.
  • Extra revenue stream by providing remote support as a service.
  • Clients are thrilled when they don't have to physically bring in their machines.
  • Putting business clients on unattended access allows me to fix issues when they are closed, less downtime to the client.
LogMeIn is a great remote support tool, but they have out priced themselves as even being an option at this point. I used to use them exclusively then switched to connectwise control purely from a price point at first. I do find ConnectWise Control easier to use and deploy.
It's perfect for end user workstations that need normal maintenance and system clean up, If a client needs hardware replaced or an upgrade, of course, ConnectWise Control is not going to help you with this situation.
