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."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."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"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."
"Being able to flip quickly between however many monitors that I have running, detune the video for black and white, or with fewer colors to make it faster, is amazing."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"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's very low maintenance."
"I personally really appreciate the file transfer feature as it is really easy to use."
"We can also monitor our systems at any time from practically anywhere."
"Setting up the solution is easy and there's no maintenance involved."
"We like drawing utilities inside ISL. That helps us mark specific regions on the screen, so that end users know what to focus on."
"The most valuable feature is safety."
"The code can be delivered in multiple ways, including an email with a link for an unattended connection."
"ISL Online is easy to use. It provides a single platform on which we can do everything, and it's very low maintenance. After installation, you don't need an IT manager or staff to watch over it. It's secure. It's most important for us."
"It's much easier to connect with other services, and it's working great. We haven't had any problems."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming. They do provide audio conferencing, but seeing the problem makes it easier to solve the problem. If they had video streaming, if a client had a physical problem with something and I couldn't get remote access, the client could use his mobile phone to show me the problem. In these cases, even if a client's systems were down, I could help, so long as I had a mobile phone environment."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"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."
"I would like to have a little bit more information when new features are released. They have added features that I didn't know about in the past. It would be easier for me to implement new features and consolidate them with other systems in our network if I knew beforehand."
"There have been times during updates when something wouldn't work quite right, however, they are quick with updates and quick with fixes."
"We miss the possibility to communicate via head-set in ISL. At the moment, we combine ISL for visual communication with Skype for verbal communication."
"It would be helpful if they had iSupport for supporting Apple phones."
"I would like to be able to access and manage all brands of smartphones."
"If there is an update or new feature on ISL Online, I don't know about it. I would be happy to receive a newsletter or notification of new features or updates."
"They need to better advertise the features."
"They should improve the integrations with other incident management software to be able to send the link directly from these platforms."
