Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely.""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.""Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing.""It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues.""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.""ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN.""it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."

"It's a nice tool for virtual meetings and I'm satisfied with its performance.""Integrates well with other Cisco solutions.""The most valuable feature is the ease of use.""The ability to join by phone is the most valuable feature. I also think that it's much simpler to use and it's a Cisco product so I think it's the industry standard.""The most valuable feature of Webex is if you are using the Cisco hardware it is simple to integrate. Additionally, it can integrate well with mobile devices.""I like that it can accommodate larger groups of listeners. I think in my client's organization, they use Webex for meetings with a larger group of listeners. I believe Skype For Business is not preferred. I think they use Webex or their own custom platform because it accommodates more users in one meeting.""What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions.""The most valuable features of the solution are communication, screen sharing, and collaboration."

Cons
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless.""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.""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.""The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it.""At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available.""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.""The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end.""Mobile interface."

"I think it's very inconvenient to have to enter my email address all the time just to be a visitor.""In terms of features, it would be beneficial for Webex to focus on improving its chat functionality to make it more user-friendly. Additionally, enhancing communication operations to create a friendlier user experience would be advantageous. Other individuals who have tried using it faced challenges when attempting to share content with third parties during conversations or meetings.""One area that could use improvement in Webex is the connection speed.""The modification of the email template is not very intuitive.""The solution is heavy and slow.""Webex is a very demanding application, so it requires a very heavy bandwidth.""I was in a meeting on the free version where there were no controls. You couldn't mute somebody or put it in dedicated speaker mode. It was an important meeting, and because of the lack of an ability to control who the speakers were, we got a version of a heckler. Well, it wasn't really a heckler per se. It was just somebody who thinks they know everything.""The solution could improve by adding a survey or form feature to show for the users to be able to vote or answer any questions."
