"Indispensable for modern Qa: A game-changer for remote testing"

1. Initial setup complexity for a large lab

2. Cost for small teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect solution for IT Support businesses"
What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

I run a small IT support business. I needed a solution for providing remote support to customers, both on an "as needed" basis, as well as on an "always connected" basis. The other products I looked at, like Team Viewer, LogMeIn, etc., we just too expensive for my situation. I'll admit, I was a bit concerned that maybe ScreenConnect might not be very reliable, etc., because it was less expensive, but that concern was totally unfounded. ScreenConnect has been 100% reliable for me. It does everything I need. If someone calls in looking for immediate support, it is very easy to have them go to my web site, where I have a "Remote Support" page, where they can enter a simple code and quickly get connected. I also have many clients' computers always connected, so any time they need me to do something, I can get right in and take care of things, without having to worry about setting up a remote support session.

It was very easy to set up my self-hosted ScreenConnect server. It's very easy to install on client computers. There is no monkey business with having to exchange codes and passwords with the client to get connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenConnect?

Over time there have been a few issues with anti-virus programs, such as McAfee and Bitdefender claiming that the ScreenConnect installer is a trojan. Apparently this is due to the fact that some malicious actors have been using ScreenConnect and probably other remote access applications, to gain remote access to their victims' computers.

"Reliable and Powerful Remote Support Tool with Minor Drawbacks"
What do you like best about ScreenConnect?

We’ve used ScreenConnect since its early days with Elsinore Technologies, starting in the 2010s. We initially invested in a three-technician on-premise perpetual licence, and it’s proven to be one of the best software decisions we’ve made. It’s reliable, incredibly user-friendly, and consistently delivers strong performance. Remote connections are extremely fast, and we appreciate the ability to run command prompts remotely, initiate chat sessions with users, and request user confirmation before accessing their devices—all of which streamline support while respecting user privacy and maintaining transparency. The platform is also highly customisable, allowing us to tailor it to our workflow. Having full control through an on-premise installation is a major advantage, offering both flexibility and peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ScreenConnect?

Our main issue is the relatively high cost for annual maintenance renewal, which came to US $471.54. The renewal process involved the concurrent session licence being priced at US $440 per technician, totalling US $1,320 for our three-technician setup. We received an upgrade credit of US -$848.46 based on our existing perpetual licences, which brought the final renewal cost to US $471.54. While we understand the value of keeping the software updated and supported, the pricing still feels quite steep for what is essentially ongoing maintenance. Additionally, we experienced a security incident in February 2024, where our ScreenConnect server was exploited by an attacker who managed to gain local admin privileges. Thankfully, we have daily snapshots of our ScreenConnect VM server, so we quickly reverted the server, applied the security patch from ConnectWise, and brought it back online. Since then, the system has remained secure and stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
