I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location.""It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues.""The product is really easy to deploy.""Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%.""The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."

Cons
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved.""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.""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.""There could be improvement to the remote command line tools.""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.""Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow.""At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available.""I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."

More ConnectWise ScreenConnect Cons →

"The solution should add more options and tools for shortcuts, administration, etc.""The integration features could be better.""The packages that Splashtop has, tend to be a little bit confusing and should be simplified.""Splashtop Remote Support needs to improve customization."
