DameWare
DameWare Remote Support is used to control remote workstations at various contract manufacturers. It is a big improvement over both Remote Desktop, and our previous solution -- VNC.

DameWare save Casino IT Technicians from Frustration
DameWare Remote Support is used by the IT staff in support of our end users. It has greatly reduced the hassles of using VNC software by centralizing it into one easy to use package.

DameWare is great
DameWare Remote Support is being used by our small IT department for troubleshooting across the division. We are able to do things remotely with our computers which allows us to save valuable time and money by not driving all over the division for simple troubleshooting. We compared this to several other products and this one gave us the most bang for the buck.
DameWare Remote Support is utilized in a multi-hospital healthcare system for the purposes of providing end user support. Primarily used by the Information Systems department, the software has branched out to cover other specialty areas that require the ability to cover application support at facilities located 50 miles away within seconds of receiving an urgent support request. Physicians in the midst of providing patient care do not need the interruption that comes from a PC tech needing to personally sit down at a workstation to address an issue. They like the fact that remote access allows a subject matter expert to gain access to exactly what they are seeing on multiple monitor workstations and resolve their issues with minimal interruption.

DameWare Remote Support is worth its weight in gold!
The city of Lakewood has between 500-1000 employees in different physical locations. Before implementing DameWare Remote Support, help desk personnel were spending hours travelling to and from sites to fix problems or using Remote Desktop, which causes downtime for the user and doesn't always reflect an accurate assessment of the problem. The IT department has been trying to clean up Active Directory before merging domains. DameWare Remote Service has been invaluable in this process. DameWare has also been instrumental in developing an inventory of software.

Great tool for our business IT support team.
We use DameWare Mini Remote Control to access computers all throughout the building when someone has a problem, needs software installed or needs an admin password entered. It was extremely easy to set up and connect to computers within our domain. The price and software functionality combination, is about the best I've seen.
DameWare Remote Support is being used by our IT department to provide remote support either in the office or outside of the office to internal staff. This allows our IT department to be more efficient by not having them walk around the office looking for a particular user. It also gives them the ability to work from home via the VPN.

One Man's View
DameWare Remote Support is used from one main office to provide technical support locally and to other remote locations about the state.

Good but not great.
We used this for our support staff to remote into machine and purchased under the assumption that it was able to control remote. The product was strictly used by our IT staff and no one else in the organization.
DameWare Remote Support is used by the IT staff to provide access to systems throughout the entire organization. It is used primarily for investigating and resolving local computer issues and demonstrating system use. The organization consists of 12 sites while four staff members handle first and second tier support. The Remote Support access greatly reduces time to resolution by 1) eliminating much of the time required to get support on site, and 2) providing full functional access to, and control of, the remote computer. The computers can be wired desktops, wireless laptops or remote users connected via VPN or accessible via the Internet. DameWare Remote Support allows our small staff to quickly resolve a majority of computer issues.

Souped up Remote Management Tool
We use DameWare's WOL and Mini Remote Control to effectively manage our systems and support our remote users. It saves us substantial travel time and drastically reduces the number of SLA breaches. We are able to get our users up and running faster than ever.

DameWare Remote Support Helps me, Help them.
Our IT Department utilizes DameWare Remote Support to assist users with their computers; to work with our users to solve issues, and see what they are seeing. We help them in real time without having to have them go to a remote web page, sign in, give us a number, etc... This is a great tool to copy files to multiple workstations, or remote control workstations, and servers.

Best of breed
I use it for remote control of desktops and for manipulating settings on PCs. I also use DameWare Remote Support to stop processes and remove problem services. I also use it for basic network testing and server remote control and troubleshooting. I have also used it for checking on printers and installed software on individual PC's and servers. I use it for manipulating users and groups on PCs and for remote shutdown or restart of a PC. I have also made changes to registries using DameWare Remote Support.

Great for Windows, needs some work for Mac
DameWare Remote Support is being used by our Help Desk to provide support to our remote users, it allows them to resolve any issues that arise on the user's workstation. Having the remote capability saves a tremendous amount of expense that would otherwise incur trying to physically access remote machines. It also provides a sense of relief to our users that the Help Desk can immediately resolve their issues so that they can get back to work.

Dameware Remote Support
We've been using DameWare for remote desktop support for a number of years in the IT department. We needed something that would allow us to log into remote machines when the user wasn't there or was having trouble logging in themselves. Traditional Remote Desktop or Lync/Skype screen-sharing didn't provide this functionality.

Having to not enter the Clean room is a good thing
I use DameWare Remote support for two reasons. Our production floor is in a clean room and requires gowning up to solve a problem. 95 % of the issues can be solved remotely in a more timely manner. The second reason is my production engineers can see and control the tools remotely and/or from home to keep production working.
