Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video.""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.""I've noted an ROI while using the solution.""The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access.""Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support.""Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle.""The initial setup is fairly straightforward.""ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN."

"It's on-prem, which is great.""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.""It does a good job of integrating with other software."

Cons
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on.""Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow.""There could be improvement to the remote command line tools.""There is one back-end issue that I am running into at some of locations where I login to provide support, and sometimes port 443 is blocked. That is what it uses to connect. So, I am having to do workarounds to get a session started.""There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes.""I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved.""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."

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."
