Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

I'm currently the only person at my organization using ConnectWise Control, we were provided with LogMeIn, but after many frustrations, I decided to find my own solution, which I came across this one. It's affordable and spending my own money to avoid the headache was definitely worth it. I see my coworkers are still frustrated with LogMeIn, while I have no issues so far with ConnectWise Control and I was glad to that I made this decision.
  • Doesn't require a download, everything can be done on a browser.
  • Easy to tell users how to connect.
  • Most importantly, it's affordable.
  • A way to converse with the user without having to open up a session, I've been told many times that the user has tried to message me while I went onto a different session, once I connect to their session, I see that they have written me a paragraph, but there was no way for me to see it on my end.
  • Putting the manage toolbox option in a more visible and accessible location, it took me awhile to find out that I had to click on my name on the bottom left to access it to add or remove any tools.
  • Saved me tons of headache because other remoting tools are more complicated to use.
There are some from each product that I like, but the main reason I went with ConnectWise Control is the cost.
It has been definitely easier and less complex to use than the other well known remoting tool. The only downside is that the users I provide support only knows about TeamViewer or LogMeIn, which are the only tools that they trust, so hopefully ConnectWise Control will get some more recognition and have users be able to trust it more.
