ScreenConnect

ConnectWise ScreenConnect, previously ConnectWise Control, is a self-hosted remote desktop software application. It was originally developed by Elsinore Technologies in 2008 under the name ScreenConnect, and is now owned by ConnectWise Inc. The product is available as a cloud hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) or self-hosted server application that permits the primary user to host the software on their own servers, PC, virtual machine (VM), or virtual private server (VPS). Once installed, the central web application can be made visible inside and outside of the local area network (LAN). ConnectWise ScreenConnect has a proprietary protocol and exposes an open architecture structure that can be utilized by users to implement custom plugins, scripting, or various integrations. Most commonly expected features for a product in this arena are present. Examples include reboot and reconnect, drag and drop file transfer, screen recording, safe mode support, multiple monitor, command line access, wake-on-LAN, VoIP, chat, and a custom toolbox for quick deployment of support tools. In addition to features that facilitate communication, ConnectWise ScreenConnect also offers complete control over branding and customization of the product design, logo, color scheme, icons, text strings, and localization.
