    It's handy for smaller to larger units, where time management is most important. But it will not suitable for those who have partial units across the country.

    If multiple sets of credentials and User Directories are involved across the servers you're connecting to, this is a huge help in organizing them all and managing changes over time. Having multiple concurrent server connections in tabs instead of separate windows is also much more convenient. While we're only using RDP, there are multiple connection methods to facilitate a mixed environment.

    • It's a robust corporate remote support tool for admin.
    • Admin can deploy an installation in the background without knowing a client.
    • For those who frequently forget their password, you can access it in glimpse & take total control of it.

    Cons
    NetSupport
    • The only cons are that it's hard to access other networks besides the internal one of the organization like how TeamViewer works.

    • I'd like to be able to tag computers by criteria (ie location, function, etc) then be able to sort them in the left-hand pane.

    I think if you are using it after its tutorial then you may not need any other apps to control the operation. Its file transfer, voice & text sharing features are truly working. A complete system of inventory where you can set smart alerts. Capable to connect multiple users at once.

    ASG-Remote is very flexible and with so many options available it makes the configuration you want for your setup super simple. Other products do not offer the extra features for database and reporting. As well, it offers all the connection types you can possibly think of. The ability to automate tasks for regular servers and workstations is amazing!
