Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model

The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

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

"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."

"The solution works well with third-party integrations."

"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."

"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."

"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."

"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."

"Unattended access is the most important feature."

"The product is really easy to deploy."

"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 product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."

More ScreenConnect pros

Cons

"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."

"The solution needs a more modern 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."

"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."

"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."

"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."

"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."

"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."

"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."

"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."

"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."

"It is priced fairly."

"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."

"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."

"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
