    Pros
    Take Control is a very nice value add for that package and a pretty nice remote management tool in of itself.
    As I do most of my work remotely this product has been steady and reliable in both maintenance and support of end users. I very happy with the product.
    The remote connection is pretty quick and stable, and the alert for the connection is a pop-up window in the center of the screen, something very useful to get help quickly.
    Cons
    The UI is ugly, and there are no way to start a chat for yourself, you have to receive a message from support to start chatting, and the buttons for showing/hiding the chat are not very visible.
    When ending a session the remote computer is locked and this can be annoying. Maybe there's a setting to stop this but its not obvious and should really be optional not default.
    Most of our other platforms and service options have a rebranding scheme that is lacking in Take Control. We use this primarily as a backup connection should our RMM remote have a problem.
