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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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."
"I like the share information function."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"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."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"It's very low maintenance."
"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
 

Cons

"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."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"Mobile interface."
"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."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
 

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."
"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."
"It is priced fairly."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
