SolarWinds Dameware Remote Support (DRS) vs Zoho Assist

• Troubleshooting computers remotely without the need for the user to even be around.
• Install software that needs to be installed manually without having to travel.
• Viewing what the user is doing specifically that triggers the issue, making replicating issues way simpler.

• It would be nice if the installed agent would be able to check in with the server so that I can connect to laptops, etc that have the agent pre-installed for when they are off network.
• DameWare could do better with the mobile app. I cannot connect in from the outside with the mobile app to provide quick support if needed. This kind of defeats the purpose of a mobile app. If I am on the network, I probably have access to my workstation.

• Wake on LAN is very unreliable.
• Zoho Assist service will stop workstations automatically sleeping (unless overridden) - this was done deliberately by their development team as they aware (and unable to fix) their issues with WOL.
• Support is terrible - very quick response initially - but it can take weeks to get any actual support or solution. I currently have outstanding tickets over 2 months old with no response.
• File transfer clunky, slow and inconsistent.
• Clients often show offline when actually available and online.
• Copy/paste inconsistent (clipboard).
• Initially slow to connect to clients.

• 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.

• It's the most cost-effective service I've found with device control features, saving money.
• It's reliable whenever we need it.
• Without Zoho Assist we would probably not use a screen control program and would waste time trying to find a similar function from a combo of other programs rather than one.
