Likelihood to Recommend Well suited to environments where IT staff need to access multiple servers/systems at the same time, cutting down on time wasted opening multiple windows. Not so useful for users that only need to access one system remotely, as most of its functions are largely unused in that case.
Read full review I think for ANY environment it's worth taking it out for a test drive. It's very powerful, especially when using the agent to connect to sessions where the end user doesn't need admin rights but when not in a VDI environment it likely would perform better with its built in functionality to ask for elevation. It is really powerful, even with the ability to run command line scripts without the user seeing (kind of a built in psexec) and it does work with Mac and Linux to some degree too so it really is worth trying out regardless of your environment. It may be just what you're looking for and the sales folks at DRE are not pushy at all, at least in my experience, and give great advice even at the expense of selling less licenses!
Read full review Pros Easy to organize and group servers. Many different protocols for remote access. The ability to make use of external applications for non-directly supported protocols. Servers can inherit settings from nodes above so you can set up properties once making adding new servers/devices very quick. Easy to export and share config with new team members (be mindful of what you do with passwords though).

The methods of deployment are nice and easily managed through GPO. The interface of seeing waiting sessions and options to collaborate with other technicians is nice and user friendly. Read full review Cons The user interface for configuration is a little basic, and not obvious for a new user to set up connections. It could be a bit clearer how to do that. It does not seem to automatically update itself to new versions - though older ones work fine, you can miss out on some new functions if you don't check for updates manually. Read full review Connectivity to a helpdesk/knowledgebase would be nice feature so users can do self-help Offering a branded version of the client/agent would be a nice touch for businesses A web-only version of the technician console for remote support would be a nice feature Read full review Support Rating Never actually needed to use support so have no idea - honestly it's simple enough to use I'd be surprised if anyone really needs support with it.
Read full review SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is an easy to use software package. The manuals are easy to understand, and the installation is simple and straightforward. The Maintenance and support costs are relatively reasonable, and we maintain support and maintenance strictly for the upgrades rather than support. Over the years, SolarWinds has released numerous feature enhancements to the software package, making SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere indispensable on our network.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Every now and then I do look to see if there is any other software that can bring together multiple remote access protocols in a single interface that can contain multiple connections to remote devices with image scaling to mage use of a windowed interface and have yet to find an alternative that does all that but doesn't cost a huge amount. Don't get me wrong I would happily pay for an alternative that could provide an overall better, more convenient experience, but I have yet to find one that has made me think it's worth jumping ship from mRemoteNG.
Read full review We basically selected this for our one of the SolarWinds Project. In that we needed to take remote session and screensharing and do the analysis and troubleshooting. In our initial analysis itself we got the excellent result, and it was too quick. We were very much inspired from this. Later on, we started using SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE) for almost all the projects of SolarWinds. Highly appreciated, thanks team.
Read full review Return on Investment Very easy to hand over connections to new starters. Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver.
