Overall Satisfaction with ScreenConnect

We use it mostly for remote access. This gives us flexibility to telecommute when we are away from the office (home/vacation).
  • It is easy to use. I like the layout of the site, and the usage and account information made available.
  • As long as bitmaps don't have to be painted, response during remote access is enough to allow reasonable work speed.
  • It is the right amount of functionality for the price paid, although we do not use the meeting feature.
  • Company name in the URL is a nice touch, and easy to remember.
  • Chat support was helpful and professional..
  • I still need to determine if this is something I might be doing wrong but PCs keep getting disconnected, apparently randomly. (I will ask support about this. I have the 'One' package, and have 3 PCs signed on at any time. Remote access is only done by me.)
  • It makes it possible for me to handle important tasks that would otherwise require me to be in the office or to be at home. At a reasonable cost. With good speed. Very useful. Can't do without it.
  • This makes having two 'offices' possible :)
  • TeamViewer: expensive for my use.
  • VNC: memory hogging issues in the past, in past companies.
  • LogMeIn: worked OK, don't know much about it, or if licensing model is suitable for small a business.
I can only comment on Remote Access - it works well for me, except when remote PC does not turn out to be automatically disconnected.
