Overall Satisfaction with ScreenConnect

I utilized ScreenConnect to support our remote users throughout the country. [It was used for] providing technical support and helping them to troubleshoot issues that come up during their day. Many of our remote users never need to visit the office so this program provides a cost-effective way to keep them operating.
  • Connection to users is excellent. Receiving notifications when users need support allows for quick turnaround.
  • Chat and File downloads are quick and allow for support to easily support users.
  • Users report simple usage of app when they need support.
  • Implementation with popular communication programs such as Skype for Business or Slack. It would be great for a user to start a session right from a chat.
  • Customized directions for users on companies home page.
  • ScreenConnect has saved us money on our third party support. We can now utilize them for issues beyond our capabilities. An example would be server issues.
  • We don't have to pay for express shipping of devices back to the office for emergency service. One round trip shipping computers FedEx/UPS would easily cost more than the price of the service.
  • Ease of use provides quick turn around allowing users throughout the country to quickly return to work.
It was really a cost search. We were looking for a program that provides the capability of ScreenConnect at a reasonable cost.
Smaller companies that are looking for a cost effective way to provide remote technical support. Companies that rely on a third party for support but are looking to handle smaller issues in house to save money.
