Remote Windows 10 Upgrade - Success thank you ScreenConnect
-
These are the screen connect premium features:
Multiple licenses per account
Mobile technician license
Wake-on-LAN
Sound capture
View & control Android devices*
Video auditingThat 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?

"$69 per tech / month
billed monthly"Citrix:
$69 / Per Technician Per Month Billed MonthlyWho is copying who? Their plans are identical in cold features, is the value the same?
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). -

(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
oldbetter license prices? Is it because you were Grandfathered in or something? -

I'm sure screen-connect do similar.

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 does not answer my original question.
I have a problem with the product, how many human beings are available to fix it 24 hours a day 7 days a week? What's the support like?
What value am I gaining or losing by having someone else host it for me instead of the developers of the product?

Lower cost, different product options.

Lower cost, different product options.
But what drives the lower cost? How do I get different options?

I don't believe that NTG is a 24/7 shop, but you'd have to ask Danielle about that. As for what is support like - again, you'll have to ask her that.
What value are you gaining by having NTG host it? Cost savings. Do they have a highly available setup over multiple DCs for this? I have no idea - but then again I have no idea if SC does directly either.

@Breffni-Potter said:

What do you mean? It's a different service. They price it differently through different channels.
-
But I'm asking you as you offered it
@DashrenderWhat I'm trying to say, is it's very well to say you can try it different to save X money but as the answer to the questions about the differences is "Talk to this person seperately" we can't discuss the 2 options fairly.
