Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

Our support team uses both the Access function for our managed clients as well as the Support function for on-demand support. We are planning on further testing the Meeting function and will potentially replace our Sales team's current solution as well.
  • The best thing is how smooth the interface runs on just about every system we've connected to, which provides an excellent user experience on both ends.
  • The shared toolbox is very handy to allow commonly used tools to be easily deployed, as well as the ability to easily send and receive files.
  • The built-in commonly used commands are very handy for controlling the system directly.
  • The web interface is very slick, allowing easy connection for the end-users as well as helpful info for our technicians.
  • The frame on the window is not a native Windows frame, which has its own benefits but doesn't always work properly with 3rd party programs such as window managers.
  • I do wish we could maximize the window (for zooming) without it going full screen and covering the taskbar.
  • We have saved a lot of money from our previous solution.
  • We no longer get locked out of sessions when the end-user is connected via RDP and locks or minimizes their screen.
  • The consistency of connections and the quick install of the plugin allows us to complete support sessions much quicker and with fewer issues.
  • The customization of the web/landing page is very helpful for our branding efforts.
WebEx is where we experienced many of the issues described previously, trouble connecting, longer loading times, etc. Join.me was our go-to alternative but since switching to ConnectWise we have not needed an alternative and it helps our image look much more professional.
We love it everywhere we have used it so far and have yet to run into any deal-killing limitations!
