Overall Satisfaction with ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

We are a small business with 6 stores. I am an IT Manager by trade, but also co-owner of this company. I am the primary user of ScreenConnect and use it pretty much every day. I use it to remotely connect to the manager's workstations at the stores, or to work remotely.
  • Easy login & connections
  • Handles multiple monitors well
  • Allows me to create users with specific permissions to groups of machines
  • Work better with iPad
  • Quick connections
  • Negative impact is ScreenConnect's support when needed. It usually works well, but when I have trouble, I always have to wait for someone to call me back
I use ScreenConnect specifically for unattended access to the same group of machines all the time. I don't have a data center or a server to host ScreenConnect on, so the cloud service with just "access" worked well for me and was competitively priced.
Good for small business owners or IT departments that support multiple locations.

Using ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)

Customer Service is not always the greatest. Product works great most of the time.

ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect) Support

Support hold times and response times are not always acceptable for a business environment. You often call and only get a Triage person and have to wait for a call back.
