We performed a comparison between ConnectWise ScreenConnect and Splashtop Remote Support based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"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."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The tool's most valuable features are pricing and easy management."
"The solution is very fast."
"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"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."
"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."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"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."
"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."
"Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
"The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified."
"The integration features could be better."
"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc."
