    N/AHelpWire is remote access software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. IT teams and technicians can start sessions by sending a link, so the remote user clicks it and joins without creating an account or entering credentials.

    This product is well suited for any healthcare organization, especially one privately owned by the providers. Many of our providers were displeased with our efforts to use a product that forced sandboxing of Exchange information. Therefore, we needed something that was flexible enough that sandboxing could be used where desired but still allowed native OS integration where necessary.

    I use HelpWire for training new employees and fixing software issues. When a new hire joins, I can easily access their computer to help them set up their development environment and answer questions right away. It’s also a great tool for troubleshooting. If someone has a problem, I can log in to their computer, see what’s wrong, and help them fix it. HelpWire makes this process quicker and easier.

    Cons
    Cloud Software Group
    • issues with non apple, non samsung devices: if it is not setup with an apple or samsung phone, then the Certificate onboarding is a struggle/unable to be done.
    • user-pin setup: for a user to be onboarded, requiring a PIN; there is a self service way but it is clunky and users prefer to call in instead of trying to follow the 15 step process via PDF
    • if the certificate is ever lost, due to an upgrade via IOS or android, then the entire process [uninstall, reinstall] has to be done, which means downtime for the end user, and higher call volume when a service provider pushes an iOS update.

    • Limited Features Compared to Paid Options: As a free software, HelpWire delivers impressive core functionality. However, it might lack some advanced features found in paid remote desktop software. These could include things like: 1. Unattended Access,
    • Advanced User Management: For larger teams or organizations, more granular user management controls might be desired. This could allow for assigning different access levels or permissions to different users within the organization.

    It's free, but I love their service, so I will buy their service if they introduce any paid program.

    Usability

    The software's usability is what we expected. We knew what our organization needed and Citrix was able to meet our needs. The ability to have the apps on a mobile device has been a great plus and Citrix seems to have really developed a software based on the every day needs of the user.

    HelpWire has been really great for me. It’s easy to use, works fast, and the chat helps a lot when talking to clients. And it’s free, which is awesome. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who needs remote support.

    Overall the support from the customer service team has been good. They are very timely and expert in resolving the tickets. They have appropriate knowledge to resolve issues in all stages to development. They were up to the point during the implementation stage of the XenMobile, all queries were answered in time to help finish the deployment. The support for last three years has been extraordinary in helping us use XenMobile effectively and efficiently.

    With a zero trust solution for the entire digital workspace, you can continually monitor and assess session activities before, during, and after login. Reduce risk, gain more control over every session, and get deeper insights across your entire application landscape. To achieve this strong security posture across all environments, you need an application delivery solution that shares a common code base. This lets you implement consistent security policies across all your applications for comprehensive protection.

    We felt a lag in movement of mouse on AnyDesk but on HelpWire we do not face any such issue. The movement of cursor and mouse is as smooth as working on your own system.

    Return on Investment
    Cloud Software Group
    • Specific ROI was on us avoiding purchasing company managed cell phones - one of the most important drivers
    • Makes on boarding, and especially offboarding remote users a heck of a lot easier w/the ability to wipe the container, even if not connected (via time setting)
    • Easy access to internal resources - no need for separate vpn, etc...

    • a handy tool to simplify my work that I can use for free
    • Using HelpWire has made me more productive because I can focus on solving problems here and now, rather than wasting time on long explanations.
