Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds MSP Anywhere
I use SolarWinds MSP Anywhere for my MSP clients, as it's beautifully integrated in the Remote Monitoring and Management console. This is the preferred remote access method for all clients who use our Managed Services.
- It's convenient! One click to select the computer with an issue from the RMM console, and one more click to make the remote connection.
- The file transfer screen is laid out in a classic side-by-side explorer view, which it clear and easy to use.
- Chat options, little surprises like "laser pointer" for live training or explaining with a user, local or remote printing, and video recording the session are great extra features over the basic remote control feature set.
- I wish text rendering was done better when there is a large mismatch between remote and local screen resolutions. For instance, accessing a remote laptop with super high resolution / pixel density on a normal desktop monitor gives somewhat choppy fonts, so filenames can be a bit hard to read, regardless of local display size settings and optimization for high bandwidth. Yes there is an option to adjust the remote resolution, but that is often not desirable.
- I don't choose MSP anywhere for on-demand remote support to for new clients or occasional remote help sessions. It's great for those integrated into the RMM, but I prefer other options for occasional or new users calling in for a quick remote support / fix.
- Looks professional and the ease of addressing issues raised by the RMM gives clients confidence in me as their provider.
- Managed Service clients tend to appreciate minimal work interruption, so quick connections that don't require user interaction is great.
- ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)
I use both SolarWinds MSP Anywhere and ScreenConnect.
SolarWinds MSP Anywhere is perfect for MSP clients on account and with an agent installed. It's integrated and makes all the connected tasks easier and the workflow is improved.
I prefer ScreenConnect for my break/fix clients and random support calls, as it makes it easy to connect to unknown machines, via an emailed link or by directing the client to my remote support site.
