Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"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 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."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"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."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution is very fast."
"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
"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."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"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."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"I was not thrilled with their support. I do not have a lot of time to deal with the attention which is needed to fix issues."
"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."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"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."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
"The integration features could be better."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
