Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Pros

"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"I like the share information function."
"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"It's very easy to use. Provides connections that are always on. It was nice to be able to see a list of end-points and see whether or not they were connected so I could troubleshoot any network issues I had."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy."
"ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN."
"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."
"Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support."
"Being able to flip quickly between however many monitors that I have running, detune the video for black and white, or with fewer colors to make it faster, is amazing."
 

Cons

"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"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."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"We have had issues. We have had circumstances, for reasons we don't know, where the service will stop running, and when the service stops running that computer no longer becomes reachable. We haven't really seen that so much on desktops, but we have seen that happen quite frequently on server operating systems, Server 2008, Server 2012. You can install the product and then a week down the road it will just stop."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
