Goverlan Reach, from EasyVista vs. Goverlan Reach

Great for managing a single client with AD integration allowing quick troubleshooting of common issues such as password lockout and aging passwords. Remote desktop is quick and easy to find individual users. It is also easy to run power shell commands whilst the user is logged in without affecting their session to fix things in the background.

This product is a must for any help desk that is supporting an active directory based network. Scope action capabilities also make it valuable to systems administrators etc.

• Machines must be online for actions to be performed, scopes allow you to rerun them against failed objects only but really a much better option would be for client agent to check in at power on for open jobs.
• Newest version of Reach is glitchy on Windows 10 requiring the occasional restart of the application.

Overall I've found Goverlan Reach to be as good as other tools for remote desktops, with the ad integration taking it to the next level. This comes at a cost that not all will be willing to pay for, and the basic license of Goverlan Reach lacks many of the features that make the product stand out from the rest.

Not as full featured for Microsoft products but better at cross platform uses. Agent-less option works better in Goverlan.

• With a product like this it is entirely possible that you will see large increase in Help Desk efficiency for those who are willing to take the time to fully explore its possibilities.
• Much more robust that any other remote support product I have used while still extremely cheap compared to competing products. This can bring enterprise level support options to those that may normally not be able to afford it.
• Reporting features are invaluable to anyone wanting to truly know what is happening on their network.
