Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

ConnectWise Control is used by our service department to help problem solve and identify issues remotely before sending a technician onsite. This helps us provide better, faster service and avoid unnecessary travel and call-outs.
  • It is a cheaper alternative to TeamViewer.
  • It is OS agnostic and free for our customers.
  • It is easy to setup and use for both ourselves and our customers.
  • The automatic resizing of screens could be better when the other side has a dual screen setup.
  • It has reduced needless call-outs by allowing us to more accurately identify problems and their causes before assigning technicians to do a site visit.
  • It has a lower subscription cost than TeamViewer.
ConnectWise Control provides a competitive product for a smaller subscription cost.
It is well suited as a TeamViewer alternative as it has very similar features. It may not be appropriate for sites with high-security requirements.
