Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

Though my profile reflects my role as a Pastor (and I am), my use of ConnectWise Control is to manage my IT clients in my other role as an IT professional and owner of an IT company. I have several small to mid-sized businesses that I provide IT service for and thanks to ConnectWise I can perform 95% of the service from my office. I would not be able to maintain my business without remote management of my clients as the closest one is an hour away. I have tried various other platforms but am also left feeling a bit disappointed. One of the primary weaknesses I have found in competing products it the occasional loss of connectivity, thus sometimes necessitating an otherwise unnecessary service call. I have used this product for two years and have ceased looking for a 'better' product. At this price point, there is no competition, IMO.
  • I have never lost connectivity with any of my clients
  • The ability to monitor networks remotely is a great time saver
  • The money I generate from unattended support of my clients is amazing
  • I would like to see the product bundled with a monitored AV program
  • Integration with Untangle appliances would be helpful
  • Performing tasks in 'batch' mode would be nice
  • Multiple sessions allow my technicians to complete tasks in a more efficient manner
  • The cost is low - the ROI is huge
Of all the products that I tested, Screen Connect continued to rise to the top.
This product is well suited in any application that requires unattended (or attended) support
