We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution.""Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support.""It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive.""You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user.""The product is really easy to deploy.""Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%.""it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention.""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."

Cons
"Mobile interface.""The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless.""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.""They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on.""What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network.""I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved.""There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required.""There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."

"The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor.""The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence).""Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Good price and works well."
  • "Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
  • "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."
  • "It is priced fairly."
  • "Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
  • More ConnectWise ScreenConnect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
  • "I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
