      I use GotoAssist by Citrix.

      Again, pricing is better, plus they give you a few more features than teamviewer.

        Not sure the pricing can beat that of SC.

          Better than SC?

          I generally avoid Goto... anything because of requirements on the client. Their GotoMeeting is so bad, I assume their Assist is built on the same technology. I never tried it because of the other Goto product quality issues,

            Yeah I much prefer SC for doing any sort of work that needs rebooting or updates 😄

              15 years ago when Citrix was the only player (or at least the only player I could easily find) back then, their remote solution was pretty nice. No clue what it's like today.

                I rarely see it anymore, but when I do I know that a webinar is going to fail. Always has like weird Java requirements or something that people just don't normally have today and causes all kinds of issues. You always seem to need an admin to set it up for you ahead of time.

                    Screen Connect I've not looked at. Performance has been fine my end on client devices and servers.

                    I knew I did not want to self manage the remote tool though, hence Screen Connector, Bomgar and other things are ruled out.

                      Why does that rule out SC?

                          Screen Connect
                          "$69 per tech / month
                          billed monthly"

                          Citrix:
                          $69 / Per Technician Per Month Billed Monthly

                          Who is copying who? Their plans are identical in cold features, is the value the same?

                            These are the screen connect premium features:

                            Multiple licenses per account
                            Mobile technician license
                            Wake-on-LAN
                            Sound capture
                            View & control Android devices*
                            Video auditing

                            That I get with gotoassist as part of their standard package at half the price.

                              There are "other" options for Screen Connect as well - though I'm not sure if they are public information?

                                    Given how much better SC seems to work... I'd so no, the value isn't the same 🙂

                                    We don't use hosted though. So our value is way higher.

                                      As Scott said, NTG uses their own hosted solution. They manage the platform.

                                      Even better - NTG can still purchase the old one time fee lifetime technician licenses. Better than that - Danielle is willing to host those licenses for ML users when you buy through her.

                                      Ask her for information.
                                      (FYI - she's swamped at the moment due to those outages mentioned in the other threads).

                                        I can too, and I am also willing to do this as well. Just ask 🙂

                                          And how many engineers are monitoring and supporting Screen Connect via those companies? 🙂

                                          Plus, the fact they have been bought by Connect Wise makes me nervous about their future.

                                            How is it that you guys can still get the old better license prices? Is it because you were Grandfathered in or something?
