Good but can be better
The current use for Desktop Central 9/10 is for user and machine management. It has been great for full access and control of our company's assets. [It's] good for pushing out patches and various updates. There have been some issues when connecting to user machines outside the domain.
- Excellent at patch updates.
- Remote software installs.
- Assets recovery.
- Not always reliable remote control. Although it has been better with the update from Desktop Central 9 to Desktop Central 10 but still needs more work.
- It has helped in cases of remote software installs.
We have used TeamViewer and are currently evaluating LogMeIn. Both products have been very reliable in remote sessions but lack the inventory feature that we like in Desktop Central 10.
