Don't forget about the Screen Connect remote access packages if you don't need the other support options. Install agents on all machines and have unlimited access to them.
Yeah, that's great.

@coliver It does work well, I personally use Screen Connect though before it got brought out by ConnectWise
I ended up using my Smart Office UC meeting tool. Really glad I dont have anything to install on premise at this customer. Yikes.
Apparently the IT guy drives between offices in different states. He literally just told me "The bosses dont much like new purchases and I dont mind the mileage and travel time".
So whenever there is problem he can't solve over the phone I guess he takes off, sometimes stays overnight. He wasn't too thrilled to find the meeting tool is going to be on everyone's desk. I am really glad he wasn't a part of the sales process.
So he's a bench tech as Scott would say?
He's one whether I say it or not

This is the plan I have... unattended access. I think it is around $600 annually for one tech. I should note that I am not an MSP, but internal IT.

If he doesn't like spending, then I can't imagine he will spend the money on Screen Connect.
And they having to travel to different sites because they have no remote software? That's pretty crappy...

I believe it's unlimited techs. I don't have this, but as soon as our LogMeIn subscription is up, this is what we're switching to.

@bnrstnr very true, probably likes the drive though lol..

https://www.screenconnect.com/docs/CW_PricingTablePDF.pdfUnder the "Access" plan (the one I have), it says "Varied" for "number of unattended agents per license". The other plans show unlimited.

@wrx7m Right, an agent is the SC software installed on each machine, which varies per plan. $300 = 25 Agents, $600 = 100 Agents, etc. I believe you can have unlimited technicians with any of these pay per agent plans. I could totally be wrong though...

You are correct. I was confusing agents with techs.
