We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution.""It's very low maintenance.""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.""Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video.""Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%.""The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access.""You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user.""It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."

Cons
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise.""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.""The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it.""Mobile interface.""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.""They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on.""I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved.""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)."

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc.""Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization.""The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified.""The integration features could be better."

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."

  • "The licensing fees are less than $400 per year."
  • "The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
