What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

Connectwise control is a highly functional software, has an extraordinary design and interface that makes it ideal for anyone to work with this software, as it is very easy to use, one of the features that I love about connectwise control is that it allows its users the ability to view and control devices remotely easily and quickly, from anywhere where their users have internet connection, one of the factors that I loved about is software when you buy is that it is compatible with Mac, Windows, Android and many other devices making it a key factor for people to use this software from any device, in general is very complete, its function that allows video conferencing is really good because its quality of audio and video is really incomparable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenConnect?

One of the disadvantages Connectwise control has is that you need a good internet bandwidth connection that surfs very fast and is stable, because if the software does not have a good internet connection can have malfunctions as the unstable connection and it can happen that the software loses the connection completely or its operation is very slow and can be completely frozen and I actually consider it a real nuisance to work like this, but in general this is a factor that I do not consider worrying because this usually happens very infrequently.

Recommendations to others considering ScreenConnect:

I recommend Connectwise control for being an ideal software to establish connection with other equipment from different devices and perform different tasks, I also recommend it for being a very good software to perform high quality video conferencing, in general Connectwise control is a platform very well designed to meet its performance at all times is a platform that will almost never fail in its operation to its users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Connectwise control to connect remotely from my work to my home computer to transfer different files in classes, and I also use it almost daily to make high quality video conferences with some students or colleagues who are in different countries, since it allows me to dictate high quality language courses and with many tools provided by this software that makes it very useful for a greater development of participants of online classes, in general I consider that I love working with Connectwise control.

What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

I like how there are different levels, for example some require the end user to consent to your control, others can choose not to so It's really nice to have that option. Each time I connect the end user is amazed at how quick I can connect with them not having to do anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenConnect?

Only one issue I noticed was sometimes although the agent is on some machines, no prompt comes up and it doesn't allow me to connect even after re-installing, however I'm not sure what causes it, other than nothing else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Other screen connecting systems I have used always need me to give a code to a user, or have a user give a code to me, this can be very time consuming and sometimes in the end I can't even connect, however with screen connect it is very quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

I love that ScreenConnect allows me to assist people across borders instantly. It's easy to deploy, packed with features, fast, and reliable.

ScreenConnect allows me to assist coworkers no matter where they are in the world, as long as they have an internet connection. It makes it as easy as if they were in the same building as me.

What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

- A useful tool in the arsenal of support professionals working with ConnectWise PSA

- Available both as web application and a plugin on the ConnectWise PSA Manage application which ensures flexibile usage when working on urgent issues and reduces multitasking

- Provision to run commands on remote system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenConnect?

- Developed by ConnectWise so only makes sense if integrated with ConnectWise PSA

-Slow Login on web application

- UI is in dark mode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

A support professional can only do so much on call with user, especially if they are lack technical proficiency. In such cases, it becomes necessary to investigate the user that the user is facing by accessing their machine remotely. ConnectWise ScreenConnect gets the job done and I have been using it for troubleshooting different client issues. However, there are issues when using it such as slow login times and not a great UI.

What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

It's UI is really nice and it makes it easy to search and access machines. Lots of customisation features available to choose from. I like how it is easy to run cmd in elevated role just from SC. You can also communicate seamlessly with users from this tool. Their are different options that you can choose from to install it on a machine. You won't usually have any issues with it but if you do their customer support team is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not having ability to run PS scripts from Screenconnect is what I dislike most about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ScreenConnect solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it easy for our team to connect to the machines and remote in when we need to help our users remotely. We can find the machines easily without any hassle and the way it gives us options to organise different client sites it awesome. You can also run different tools from it and it also gives us file sharing options that makes it easy to share installers from our local machines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
