HelpWire vs. LogMeIn Rescue

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.

Most of the time it is great. Sometimes with iPads it is not great or too expensive for orgs to pay for an option to allow iPads to be logged into along with computers and windows computer tablets. When needing to view something a client is talking about. It is great to use login to understand the issue and possibly fix any issues we need.

• 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.

• one of the prompt in windows users is not vissible, somethimes users missed it and you must start from scratch
• more documentation for apple users

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

It may not be used often in our smaller organization but it really is the only option with a remote workforce. We do not want to learn a new product so it is much better to keep with what we know works well and our staff is used to utilizing

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.

I believe that LogMeIn Rescue is extremely suitable for users of all levels of technical prowess. The user interaction is minimal, and the agent is available to take over at every step of the way. From problem resolution to training, LogMeIn Rescue can take care of it all. LogMeIn Rescue makes the user support process easier and faster so the user can have the issues resolved in a timely manner.

I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

Make sure you have your LogMeIn Rescue account sign-in details handy when installing on multiple support systems.

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.

Truth be told, Rescue is the first and so far only solution from LogMeIn I started to use. However since it offers a wide range of tools specifically designed for remote support, it is highly effective for resolving technical issues. Additionally, Rescue provides various connection methods and customizable interfaces, allowing support teams like mine to tailor the experience to specific needs.
