Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

We have used ConnectWise (screenconnect) over the last 4 years to provide remote support to our satellite sites as well as for providing us with a centralised way of remoting into our servers.

It has been massively valuable to us as it has saved on travel costs as previously we may have had to send a technician to the site.
  • The ability to customise the client is great and the level of detail you can adjust goes beyond any other platform I have worked with.
  • It's simple to use for both our ConnectWise technicians and our end users.
  • Against other competitors, ConnectWise offers more features for way cheaper.
  • [It's]Confusing having two separate accounts to log in into to manage our own personal portal and then another billing one.
  • Sometimes it doesn't always work with some firewalls and we have to revert back to TeamViewer.
  • Saved on travel costs by allowing technicians to resolve issues without driving to a site.
  • Technicians have been able to fix problems out of hours where previously they would have had to wait for the site to open in the morning.
  • Users feel more confident knowing that with one phone call they can get support.
  • VNC - local use only.
  • TeamViewer - not so good with customisation and a lot more money to purchase but does seem to get past firewalls where sometimes ConnectWise doesn't.
Great for remote support and other remote admin duties; would recommend for any company offering support to remote locations. Not sure it would be required for local support i.e. on the same site.
