We performed a comparison between ConnectWise Control and Google Hangouts based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"Offers more security than TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, and Zoom. It's a stable, feature-rich solution that's easy to set up and easy to scale."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. It is just a click, and you're in the system."
"Stable communication tool with a good history feature and very easy installation."
"When you get a meeting invitation, it's very easy to just join and go."
"This is a stable solution."
"Google Hangouts is easy to use and intuitive."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"The technical support team for Google Hangouts has been pretty responsive and could solve whatever challenges arise, within a day or two."
"The most valuable feature of Google Hangouts is the ability to record the classes that I'm not able to attend. I can use the class recording to view whatever I missed later."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"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."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"We don’t have any complaints."
"It would be ideal if they could include in the offering a virtual whiteboard for users when they are running meetings."
"I would like for the platform to have a call recording feature in the free version."
"Google Hangouts is not as feature-rich as Slack. Adding more features to this solution would make it better."
"It is not as stable. They can improve its stability."
"There is no delete option for messages which could be an added feature in a future release."
"It would be great if this solution could be added to smart TVs. We would also like the ability to broadcast to a YouTube channel when having a meeting or session using this solution."
