Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

Computer Rescue Incorporated is a MSP using ConnectWise Control primarily for remote access and secondarily for monitoring. It replaced another product of ten years which became exorbitant.
  • Great value for an IT provider. The $35/month plan is a perfect fit.
  • Excellent for remote control and file transfer.
  • Very reliable.
  • Globally set the Run Command Kill Time (timeout) to 3780000. I have a command that runs a timer for 63 minutes & wish to execute it remotely. It can be done it via More...>Run Command and 2 consecutive commands. But I wish to set the timeout globally.
  • I reported this issue and it was thrown back at me to fend for myself on the forum. Below is an example of non-service disguised as friendly service ("I'm at your service.").
  • Ticket #10438829

  • Hello Michael.
  • Thank you for reaching out to ConnectWise Support. I will have the pleasure of helping you with this ticket.
  • Unfortunately there is no global timeout that you can set for Commands. However this is a great idea for an enhancement request that you can send to our enhancement forums to get it possibly looked at for a future release of Automate: connectwise.com/enhancements

  • Hi Michael and thank you for contacting ConnectWise Automate Support -
  • I just wanted to let you know that i was going over your inquiry regarding modifying the Global Timeout for commands.
  • Just as Mr. Felt already explained, Automate doesn't provide a way to change that but you can submit an enhancement request for that:

  • I hope this helps. If you need any additional assistance, please let me know. I'm at your service.
  • Have a great day and thank you for contacting ConnectWise Automate Support,

  • Great value for an IT provider. The $35/month plan is a perfect fit.
  • Excellent for remote control and file transfer. Very reliable.
  • The meeting feature is a great tool included in a perfectly priced package. I love the all inclusive
  • package without nickel and diming.
ConnectWise Control is almost as good for remote control. The other product increased its price to an unacceptable level. After testing ConnectWise Control, it was found to be a great replacement at a perfect price point.
Excellent for remote control and file transfer.
Not well suited for running delayed commands. The command kill time is 10,000 milliseconds, causing commands to time out.
