We performed a comparison between ConnectWise ScreenConnect and LogMeIn Pro 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."Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"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."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive support."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"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."
"If I could give it an 11 out of 10 I would, but I definitely give it a 10. It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on. I can get in and out of the computer without anyone really even knowing that I fixed something."
"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer. Going the other way, sometimes I'll go to my home computer to do adjustments to my accounting system there."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."
"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."
"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."
"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."
"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."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"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."
"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 only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."
"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
