HelpWire is an amazing App which helps you connect with any Windows or Mac system effortlessly. It is free for individual and businesses of all sizes. This is why I love this App. We are a small business so every penny counts and we were not getting the level of service we needed as being a remote company we needed a remote support app for employee and clients both. HelpWire has made our life easy. It's 24/7 support makes sure we are never left hanging.
  • Easy and quick, set up and connection establishment.
  • No mouse or movement lag while connected with remote system
  • Workd equally well with Windows or Mac systems.
  • Screen recording feature should be added
  • Some improvement can be done on UI
HelpWire is the best app whenever you need to connect with a remote system.

  • It is a life time free app so ROI is definitely amazing.
We felt a lag in movement of mouse on AnyDesk but on HelpWire we do not face any such issue. The movement of cursor and mouse is as smooth as working on your own system.

We are a small company working on Remote so a Remote support application is a must have. Most of the Remote support Apps are free for individual but have paid subscription for businesses and then I found HelpWire. It is free for Business too, have 24/7 support and it's top-level encryption takes care of the security. The activation and connecting is very quick and easy and there is no lag in mouse after connecting. It is an amazing App for Remote support.
  • Remote support
  • Quick and easy installation and connection setup
  • No lag in mouse movement
  • Free for all
  • UX/UI can be improved.
  • Sometimes the screen freezes but connection is not lost so we can close the window and open again.
  • It's an amazing App but most of the people I know have not heard about it. I think company should spend more on marketing.
It is the best App for anyone needing a Remote Support Application. The best part being it's free for all individual and Business alike. It may not be a life saver, but it definitely is a money saver. My whole team is happy to have it. It is a must have for system.

  • It is a free App so I would I say ROI is magnificent especially because we are getting great service without investing any money.
With AnyDesk my biggest issue was the lag in mouse movement, and it was never a great experience. Most of the time I would just view the system and ask the person sitting on Remote machine to do as needed but with HelpWire it's like I am navigating my own system.
Yes
AnyDesk- We were not happy with the performance of the free version of this app.
  • Ease of Use
There was a lag in mouse movement and other activities that were done by remote system.
I would have gone with HelpWire for sure.
HelpWire is amazing. It's very easy to install, connect and use.
  • The setup and connecting to remote system is fairly easy and quick.
  • The file is small so the download is quick and easy too.
  • Once connected, then working around is smooth.
  • First time users might take a while to understand the UI.
No
