We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security.""It's very low maintenance.""Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support.""Unattended access is the most important feature.""It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive.""Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy.""The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance.""Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."

"It's on-prem, which is great.""It does a good job of integrating with other software.""The most valuable feature is its integration with solutions like Zoom and Teams for endpoints. The picture quality is high, and the conference sessions are stable."

Cons
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine.""The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless.""I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license.""On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments.""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.""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.""There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist.""At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."

"Could have a wider range of use cases.""The most valuable feature is its integration with solutions like Zoom and Teams for endpoints. The picture quality is high, and the conference sessions are stable.""The customer needs this platform to be a little bit more customized."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Good price and works well."
  • "Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
  • "I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
  • "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."
  • "Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
  • "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."
  • "Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
