Within the enclave – visually indicated by the Blue Border around these applications – business activity is walled off from anything that happens on the personal side.

    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!

    Venn is suitable if you are considering to transition to remote work. It's security features are reliable, and although live support is not 24/7, the reponse time is timely and accurate.

    • 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

    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.

    • seamless installation of MSI or EXE
    • No Codes to enter when installing agent
    • Agent automatically connects to cloud dashboard
    • our deployment tool has messed up a couple of times, so agents get uninstalled or not installed when this occurs, and we can't see a computer in the dashboard
