Looking for Alternatives to ScreenConnect for Remote Access
Asked by

Our company, which has about 90 users, started using ScreenConnect for remote access right before the pandemic. It's been a simple and cost-effective solution, but recently we've been experiencing performance issues, especially with Windows 11 machines that sometimes lead to a black screen after users log in. We're considering alternatives until we can upgrade our firewalls next year and implement a VPN. What other software options could we explore that are similar to ScreenConnect?

I tried BeyondTrust Remote Support and found it very user-friendly. They offer a quick trial, and while it might be a bit pricier than some competitors, like ScreenMeet, it’s got good features. You could also look at ScreenMeet as a direct transition from ScreenConnect since many tools seem to share similar functionalities.

We switched to Splashtop from TeamViewer and have been pretty happy with it. It's fast and reliable for remote support, so it might be worth a look!

I think it really depends on your specific needs. I've had a solid experience with ScreenConnect without issues, but I get your frustration with the slowness. Are you using the on-premise or cloud version? Also, you might want to consider if a VPN could enhance your security. Zero Trust solutions like Zscaler are great if you haven't looked into them yet.
