Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control

All our techs use this product to maintain and support various servers, workstations and one-off client IT assistance. We're able to keep our eye on critical systems and address any issues that pop up in real time.

Pros

  • I've only experienced the system being down for ~ half hour in the 2+ years we've used the product. It's been very reliable.
  • Our clients know that we can connect and troubleshoot systems even before they notice any issues
  • I have enjoyed working with their staff as well (tech and sales).

Cons

  • Setting up some features is difficult - One needs to be familiar and comfortable using non a non GUI interface
  • Tech support is not always willing to walk me through certain configurations - and point me to articles which may not be very helpful or are out of date.
  • Re: Licensing, I can't combine our 2 x ONE subscriptions with our ACCESS subscriptions in one interface.
  • Increased productivity
  • Cost is very competitive with LogMeIn, which is why we moved to ConnectWise
  • Our clients enjoy quick and usually seamless remote support
  • I would like to use more of the features, (some security related), but support is unwilling to provide this type of help. I wish there was an option to do this so I could!
Cost was reasonable compared with LogMeIn. Their interface and ease of setup of certain features were superior to ConnectWise.
Trend Micro, Veeam Backup & Replication
It's well suited to remote control of multiple systems. It is not well suited to organizations that don't have in house expertise (or TIME) to use many of its features due to some of it's complexity.
