After testing multiple competing tools, directing clients to our custom branded web portal with our logo built instant trust and eliminated customer hesitation, giving our team total confidence in daily use.
For our primary team operations, automatic session recording provided our IT team with complete audit trails for our annual SOC 2 compliance review, saving our team valuable preparation time.
Deploying this across our entire corporate fleet confirmed that our MSP configured role-based permissions so tier 1 technicians could only access desktop PCs while tier 3 managed servers, simplifying daily maintenance.
In our daily production workflow, ConnectWise Control's ScreenConnect engine connected in under two seconds with buttery-smooth 60fps screen responsiveness, which resolved our previous operational bottlenecks.
