      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.

          I use GotoAssist by Citrix.

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

          Better than SC?

          I generally avoid Goto

          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?

                                    If you speak to a Citrix rep, you get gotoassist for a lot less than the list price. 🙂

                                    I'm sure screen-connect do similar.

                                      That's what I was told.

                                        Danielle told me that they could give me the master password for the accounts and I could change it to keep NTG out. If it was ever broke and they had to fix it, I'd have to give them the new master password.

                                        Sounds OK to me.

                                          That's correct! 🙂

                                            Been on for a long time now. Years at least.
