We performed a comparison between ConnectWise ScreenConnect and TeamViewer 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."Offers more security than TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, and Zoom. It's a stable, feature-rich solution that's easy to set up and easy to scale."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"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 product is really easy to deploy."
"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."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
"The implementation process is simple."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"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."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"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 would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"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."
"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"I didn't like the fact that you had to install a client for remote support. If you didn't install the client, you were very limited in terms of what you could do. For a whole enterprise, it is just not an easy task to install a client on everything. Even if you're using SCCM, it is an undertaking. For transient clients that you don't necessarily support a hundred percent of the time, it would be nice to be able to connect to them and support their issues without having to install something on their machines. In my previous company, we were looking at this solution as being a collaborative tool for the enterprise in terms of video conferencing, calling, and scheduling. They were working on bringing a bunch of products together to make their suite a little more integrated, but it really wasn't at the point where we wanted it to be in terms of integration. We looked at it, reviewed it, and tested it out a bit. We then decided to go with Microsoft Teams. It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
