Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

We use ConnectWise Control as a support tool providing remote access to servers and roaming laptops as well as to support on-demand sessions.
  • LDAPS integration, tightly integrated security, permissions and user management with active directory.
  • On-demand support is quick and painless.
  • Great pricepoint.
  • The mobile app needs serious work.
  • Allows cost-effective remote access.
Faster, sleeker, better security, better multimonitor and file transfer.
Well suited to providing end users the ability to access their office desktops from anywhere without having to worry about RDP files, instructions, and VPN clients. LDAPS integration and auto-created security groups allow easy provisioning.

Not well suited as a full replacement for RDP for those who will use this exclusively - multi-monitor support is good, but not as good as native RDP.
