Denis Hubriienko UX/UI designer Chose HelpWire clear interface compared to other solutions, and I don't have to pay for it when I use it for my work Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HelpWire A few years back, I was using TeamViewer and AnyDesk now and then, but they both started glitching, which was super frustrating.

There were times when I needed a feature that was locked behind a paywall, … Incentivized Helpful? Roy Kumar Manager Chose HelpWire 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. Incentivized Helpful? Ritesh Roy Business Development Manager Chose HelpWire With AnyDesk my biggest issue was the lag in mouse movement, and it was never a great experience. Most of the time I would just view the system and ask the person sitting on Remote machine to do as needed but with HelpWire it's like I am navigating my own system. Incentivized Helpful?

Cons	UX/UI can be improved. Sometimes the screen freezes but connection is not lost so we can close the window and open again.
