Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

ScreenConnect allows me to support my users from anywhere. It integrates other IT management tools like LabTech and more. In my 2 years of using ScreenConnect, I can't ever recall a time when the system was down for any reason. Super solid tool. Lots of nice features. Well worth the money if you manage more than 10 computers at a time.
  • OS oversite of user computers.
  • Run remote commands without having to get on a user's machine.
  • Also has a nice timeline feature for each system. Allows you to see if a computer went offline and how long users were logged in.
  • Easier update would be useful.
  • Maybe a few more built-in tools for troubleshooting.
  • It could use updated graphics.
  • There is no comparison. Without ScreenConnect we would not be able to manage our IT [department].
ScreenConnect is great when I'm deploying several machines. It allows me to finish all OS and app setups without having to go to each machine. You cannot do installs at bios level with it. If a user is close by it might be better to go directly to the system with issues.
