Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

A good and decent meeting platform that stores recordings of meetings
We use Zoho Meeting for booking meetings and demo calls for product review updates The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order. It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy."
"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've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"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."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"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."
"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order."
"I like the tool's video call feature."
"The API is much more flexible than other platforms."
"One of the most valuable features of Zoho Meeting is how user-friendly it is. It also has some security features."
 

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."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"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."
"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 can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"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."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"We have had issues. We have had circumstances, for reasons we don't know, where the service will stop running, and when the service stops running that computer no longer becomes reachable. We haven't really seen that so much on desktops, but we have seen that happen quite frequently on server operating systems, Server 2008, Server 2012. You can install the product and then a week down the road it will just stop."
"They do not have phone support."
"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."
"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"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."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"Compared to other solutions, the price is not the lowest, but I can say it's competitive. My organization pays for a yearly license for Zoho."
"The product is not costly like other applications."
"In India, Professional Zoho Meeting for up to 10 participants costs INR 125 per month, and for up to 250 participants, it costs INR 750 per month if billed annually."
