Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely.""ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN.""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.""We like the fact that on our website we can have the ConnectWise bit embedded, and it has instructions for the end-user about what they need to do. Previously, on LogMeIn, we used to have to almost talk them through everything... ConnectWise has step-by-step instructions, depending on the browser.""The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance.""Remote connect via webpage. I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location."

"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication.""The solution's technical support team is helpful.""The most valuable feature for us was instant messaging.""It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams.""Valuable screen sharing feature.""The integration of online jobs and documents is one of the most valuable aspects of the solution. The ability to integrate tasks and to assign tasks to certain people is great.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem.""The planner and the breakout rooms are good and helpful features in Microsoft Teams."

More Microsoft Teams Pros →

Cons
"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.""Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow.""The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end.""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.""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).""I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved.""They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on.""There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect Cons →

"Microsoft Teams should include the possibility of creating questionnaires or polls during webinars, whereby the people watching can answer the questionnaires in real time.""There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams.""It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos.""The security needs improvement, as well as the ability to back up private chats.""Sometimes, other participants cannot see the shared screen during meetings. The tool also needs to automatically switch to devices as we change them. When I try to switch audio from speaker to Bluetooth, I have to manually do that.""Teams doesn't always sync to show as Do Not Disturb during Outlook meetings.""Microsoft Teams has a limitation on the number of people, which could be increased.""The software could be optimized for Mac systems because sometimes it is slow and consumes a lot of memory."

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."

  • "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."

  • More ConnectWise ScreenConnect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you have content that requires more security and you want to use it in a more secure manner, with more protection, then it will come at a higher cost."
  • "If you have clients who do not have a computer and are joining with their phones it's an additional fee of $5.00 per user."
  • "The pricing for Teams is very competitive."
  • "My understanding is that there are licensing fees, but I'm not sure how much they might be."
