Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

We use ConnectWise Control regularly to solve problems on computers not local to our building. It's primarily used by our IT dept. and it helps them fic things fast without having to visit the clients or have their computers shipped to HQ. It saves us many hours and dollars in support costs.
  • Fast connection; saves time.
  • Client applet is light and fast.
  • Rich feature set allows full control of remote computer/server.
  • Blank remote screen and lock input is very useful in warehouse environments when multiple users may approach the remote computer.
  • Reboot into safe mode and stay connected is a great tool.
  • Small applet to download is fast and easy to connect with clients who don't have the client software installed.
  • Love the interface, very intuitive and easy to work with.
  • Zoom into the remote screen would be nice the to have in the same way it can be done on a mobile device
  • Windows UAC prompts are handled a little roughly, it could be better, easier.
  • Some problems controlling Apple clients from a Windows host.
  • Saved time and money supporting remote clients across the US continent.
  • ROI is high with a reasonable cost of purchase.
  • Supporting remote sales teams on the road in hotels keeps them selling and productive.
  • Frees up our IT team to do other tasks.
GoToAssist. Connectwise Control is just as good and more affordable and fast. Also, I like the features in CC more. The interface is more intuitive and I think the connection speed is actually faster.
Excellent tool for supporting remote clients. Great as a backup access channel (backdoor) for servers when RDP or VPNs aren't working. Great for on the fly access during travel via mobile device for fast fix-get in and get out. Not so great for "team meeting" sessions, not as intuitive and easy as GoToMeeting, for example.
