Featured Reviews

Kelsey Braun - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…
Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup was very easy."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"Unattended remote assistance."
"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."
"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"​The initial setup was simple."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"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."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"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."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"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."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
 

Cons

"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"There could be improvement to the remote command line tools."
"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."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"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."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."
"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."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"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."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Good price and works well."
