Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues.""Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy.""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.""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.""The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security.""It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive.""Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle.""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."

"This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not.""The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access.""Remote desktop sharing is one valuable feature of the solution."

Cons
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments.""We have had issues. We have had circumstances, for reasons we don't know, where the service will stop running, and when the service stops running that computer no longer becomes reachable. We haven't really seen that so much on desktops, but we have seen that happen quite frequently on server operating systems, Server 2008, Server 2012. You can install the product and then a week down the road it will just stop.""At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available.""Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow.""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.""I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved.""The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it.""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 SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor.""The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence).""Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Good price and works well."
  • "Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
  • "I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
  • "It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
  • "Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
  • "The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."
  • "It is priced fairly."
  • "Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
  • More ConnectWise ScreenConnect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
  • "I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
