Good video conferencing but it needs to support third-party hardware
We are using Lifesize for video conferencing and virtual meetings The most valuable feature is video conferencing. This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco. It needs support for third-party hardware as opposed to only Lifesize-branded…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is video conferencing."
"The most valuable feature is video conferencing."
"It has been a game-changer for my workflow."
"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."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."
"Engineers have quick, usable access to clients' infrastructure, which was not so easy with GoToMeeting."
"In terms of pricing, this has been the most affordable, reliable and convenient remote assistance software/service that I have come across."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"Being able to quickly remotely access other computers from anywhere, supporting our other users is simple and quick to do."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco."
"This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"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."
"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."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"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."
"Eventually, we're going to be moving to them and shutting off ConnectWise."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."

"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
