Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

Connectwise Control allows me to not only remotely manage servers and devices within my company but also provide remote support for our customers.
  • Easy to use
  • Fast and reliable remote connection
  • Affordable
  • Honestly, I do not have any complaints about this software.
  • The floating license model makes it cost effective to manage many endpoints with many technicians who aren't necessarily working at the same time.
  • The extra layer of access to virtual servers (on top of vsphere) gives extra piece of mind for being able to fix problems quickly.
Initially, the biggest reason I chose to use (at the time) Screen Connect was due to the price difference between it and the competitors. It has since evolved into a product that I would choose based on price AND function.
From the mobile support and floating license structure to self-hosted and white label options, I believe Control can be well suited for any type of remote control use scenario. The feature set of the software is always being added to and made even better.
