We performed a comparison between ConnectWise ScreenConnect and TeamViewer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"We like the fact that on our website we can have the ConnectWise bit embedded, and it has instructions for the end-user about what they need to do. Previously, on LogMeIn, we used to have to almost talk them through everything... ConnectWise has step-by-step instructions, depending on the browser."
"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it."
"The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones."
"It's very easy to set up."
"It is a scalable product."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
