Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

I initially purchased ScreenConnect which is now ConnectWise because of the pricing and the functionality of the product. It has continued to improve over the years and I still use it to help people with their computers remotely. It solves the problem of having to schedule an appointment to see a customer when it sometimes is a quick fix that can have them back up and running almost immediately. It makes for a happier customer and help with efficiency of the service tech.
  • Fast access with no lag
  • Easy to use for both client and tech.
  • Uses very few system resources.
  • The toolbox is one of the best features.
  • The loading of the product by the end user could be a little more streamlined
  • Many antivirus software programs remove the program thinking it is a virus. Coordinating with the antivirus companies to make ConnectWise an exception to the virus list would be helpful
  • The pricing for the new companies could be less expensive. The pricing increased drastically when ConnectWise bought ScreenConnect.
  • increased efficiency of technicians through support for multiple sessions
  • Timely access to an end user
  • The speed at which the session runs. Very little lag if any.
I have used TeamViewer but it is very costly.
The best use is for remote support. It's also a good program for allowing an end-user remote access to their computer.
