Connecting with end users, remotely. There is just one user in my business and I have not enabled any extensions. We just downloaded it and I use the client from my desktop.
IT Network Specialist at a educational organization
Very easy to use, I can fix end-users' computers from my office
Pros and Cons
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
It allows me not to have to drive to an end-user to fix their computer. If I have internet connectivity I can usually handle it right from my office, so I like that. And so does the employer because they don't have to pay mileage. It has been a game-changer for my workflow.
What is most valuable?
The product is very easy to use. All the features are valuable.
What needs improvement?
If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use ScreenConnect on my Chrome device, it has to be on a PC. I know there are other remote services that are capable of utilizing a Chrome device, such as TeamViewer.

For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
No issues with stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is great. I can add users as they are added to our system.
How are customer service and support?
I have never had to call tech support.
How was the initial setup?
It seemed pretty straightforward. Sean, who is a consultant on higher-end stuff, did the setup for me. I watched him do it and it seemed pretty simple.
What other advice do I have?
Get it. Save time, save mileage. There are no cons, all pros. I don't know how I functioned for that half a year without it.

Franchise Operations Specialist at a recreational facilities/services company with 501-1,000 employees
With ScreenConnect it's easy to jump in and troubleshoot or do setup on the end users computer.
What is most valuable?
Being able to quickly remotely access other computers from anywhere. Supporting our other users is simple and quick to do.
How has it helped my organization?
Our company uses specific software, and we have a lot of users who are new to using it. ScreenConnect makes it easy to jump in and troubleshoot or do setup on the end users computer.
What needs improvement?
The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup. I haven't had to address it at all. It was easier to ask the end user to disconnect the second monitor than to call up customer support. I’m sure they’d have a fix I just never got that far.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used it for about three months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We've had no issues with the stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scaled for our needs.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their support is very good. The few times I have had to call up I’ve been able to talk with a real person right away and have any issues resolved. In the beginning stages I wasn’t sure which license to choose and one of the sales reps was able to explain each option to me and which would fit best for my situation.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We had a previous solution, and found that ScreenConnect was the easiest way to help an end user get to where they needed to be so we could remotely log in.
How was the initial setup?
It's very simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Unless you are a one person operation and doing one thing at a time, start with the standard license.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked at LogMeIn, GoToMeeting, and a few others that I can't remember.
What other advice do I have?
Just try it out. It’s always easier to get a feel for software when you’re actually using it.

Owner at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless
Pros and Cons
- "Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support."
- "The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
- "The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
- "Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
What is our primary use case?
We are using this product as a Managed Services Provider. Two people in our business use this product. We use both the unattended access functionality and remote support.
The console is okay at best. The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless.
How has it helped my organization?
Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support.
What is most valuable?
Control is the only product which is worthwhile from ConnectWise.
What needs improvement?
Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
No stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No scalability issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
Support for Control is good, but support for Automate is a joke.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is fairly straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple.
Automate is brutally overpriced and the licensing term is something I would never enter into again. I am counting the days until I can dump the Automate software.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate any other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
If your looking at anything aside from Control, keep looking.
