Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

We currently use ConnectWise Control within our own department. It is used to help our remote users with various computer issues and maintenance. It's outstanding in the various ways it is able to connect to our end users and the ease of use they have when connecting with us during sessions.
  • The ability to see every screen at once for a connected user without hassle.
  • Multiple ways to interact with an end user's computer (uploading files, storing credentials, voice chat, etc.).
  • Lightweight. It does not strain either computer when in use and allows for better service.
  • Sometimes it requires an administrator login to install client side, which we restrict in our business.
  • Java-based remote sessions sometimes do not work/load.
  • Definitely a more affordable option with more features and ease of use.
With TeamViewer and LogMeIn, performance was always an issue. Even though we could get the job done with these tools, there was always grumblings on my team for a better and more efficient solution. ConnectWise Control helped our team connect with our end users with far less hassle and gave us tools to better serve them, all at a reduced cost.
ConnectWise Control is best suited for troubleshooting any remote issues with a user or client. Everything from changing a preference setting to installing proprietary software, ConnectWise Control is one of the best remote desktop software that I have used in the last 5 years (which includes TeamViewer and LogMeIn). My team and I are glad that we switched to it.
