Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control

I use ConnectWise to access everything from servers to the end user PCs. I never seem to have a problem with connection speed or access. In addition, having the ability to break down the view of connections by company, office, or user makes it easy to find the computer I am looking for. Works great every time!

Pros

  • Connection speed is always good
  • Quick access to groups makes it easy to find the computer I need to work with
  • Support has always been helpful and quick to respond when I have needed them

Cons

  • Work out the bugs with theme colors. Some themes cause connections to break and not work at all.
  • The money saved in travel time is invaluable. With the ability to so easily remote into a system for immediate support makes the end user feel important.
I have used LogMeIn as well as ConnectWise. I find that they are both comparable in many features. The ConnectWise interface seems more simplistic and faster to navigate.
A larger organization will be best suited to use something like Dameware for an active directory view of computers to access. I find ConnectWise best suited for small business remote access or a consultant to access multiple businesses.
