• Patch(Security) is done really well. You can use roll out projects or built-in automation as well as the use of groups and scopes to design pilot and other use cases.
• It takes a solid inventory of what you have of your endpoints and can do an agentless scan as well if you need to collect data that way as well.
• Provisioning is rather simple and even allows you to use other products' software for the image or the built-in if you wish to do so.
• Software distribution works well and has a lot flexibility built into the module.

• Perhaps popup messages that guide a user to where they need to go when sharing a session with another remote user to allow them full access as well.
• When the toolbar gets minimized it can be difficult to get it restored.

• Setup - Boy it is a pain to configure everything correctly. Be aware that you'll probably be giving an AD service account some God rights to get everything working....and security just loves that....
• Cost - Boy you have to pay for everything. I suppose it lets you buy into just what you want but having repeated items go through procurement is a pain if your procurement branch is a pain.

• DameWare has allowed us to maintain our non-traditional approach to IT support. It allows our administrators to work from anywhere and has extended their reach to clients domestic and abroad.
• Return on investment was realized as soon as we purchased the licenses. We don't have to maintain a large office space or overhead costs due to the flexibility it allows our administrators.
• First call resolution has increased drastically since implementing DameWare company-wide. The user no longer has to wait to reproduce an error. We can screen share and view it as it happens and mitigate the issues.
