mRemoteNG vs. FixMe.IT by Techinline

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.

FixMe.IT is an absolute price-performer. Far less expensive than many of its competitors, it offers all the major features small outfits like mine need. While not nearly as robust as other offerings such as TeamViewer and GoToAssist, its price point simply can't be beat. Thus, small consulting firms that primarily deal with Windows-based PCs will see a huge cost benefit. Larger MSPs are probably better off with a more expensive but flexible solution.

• 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).

Incentivized

• Unattended access always works
• Deployment through MSI to all PCs in the company
• Stable and dependable. The app never has issues.
• Option to follow users' mouse if they have more than one screen but you are only using one screen to display their computer. It allows them to show you things without fighting for the mouse or having our view of their screen be too small.
• Lightweight. The app for on-demand remote controll, unattended access, and even the expert are all very small and not resource intentsive

• 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.

Incentivized

• Not sure if we are able to display multiple screens at the same time. For example the server and some workstations. I know we can click back and forth easily, but not sure if we can display them at the same time.

Great product for the price. I would buy it again. We now have 6 licenses of it and it's completely worth the investment.

Because it is easy to use once installing. The interface is very intuitive and there are help files available for anyone needing further set up assistance. For someone who is currently overwhelmed with managing too many things in too many places, mRemote simplifies this and puts the power back in the administrators hands with their intuitive interface.

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.

It is all just done through email so there is no tracking of tickets but there is not much need since they will respond multiple times a day if needed. I never have any issue with them though. They are very well trained.

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.

TeamViewer I use for Mac clients, I like fixme.it better because of ease of client to get me a client id

• Very easy to hand over connections to new starters.
• Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver.

Incentivized

• During COVID, we simply would not have been able to work without it.
• Integration with our website and customized branding gives clients a good sense of security of who they're letting in.
• After 11 years, I see no reason to switch.
