Screenhero has been widely used in remote work and telecommuting situations, allowing users to guide and assist others remotely. Users have found it incredibly helpful for explaining and demonstrating tasks to remote team members, reducing the time and effort required. The tool is commonly utilized for screen sharing during product training, bug replication, and inter-team meetings. In particular, it has been invaluable in demonstrating and replicating bugs encountered while using the product, facilitating faster bug fixes. By integrating with Slack for video calling and communication among team members, Screenhero provides a seamless experience for sharing screens and providing visual assistance, which is highly beneficial for workflows and clarifying messages. This software is extensively used in engineering departments and other teams within organizations as it allows for screen sharing and collaboration without physical proximity, making it convenient for remote engineers and separate offices. The ability for non-hosts to take control of the screen with a visible cursor has proven particularly valuable for problem-solving and collaboration among team members. For remote development teams, Screenhero is an essential tool that enables them to share and control screens as if they were working together in the same space. The integration with Slack has further simplified pair development and knowledge sharing. Users appreciate the seamless process of linking Screenhero with the Slack contact list, enhancing company-wide usability. It is regularly used for daily pair programming sessions and collaborative coding sessions within teams, facilitating collaboration on new ideas and programming techniques, allowing users to work together efficiently.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Screenhero, no longer its own native OS app, has been a crucial tool for my development team. None of the five members of my development team are co-located, we span across 4 different time zones and 5 different offices. As such, having tools available to make up for our lack of working in the same space has been very important for us. We're able to share and control each other's screens, allowing us to pair develop and share real-time views of bugs or lines of code as if we were together looking at the same screen. Screenhero automatically linked to the Slack contact list of my organization which made company-wide usability a seamless process. Now that Screenhero has officially merged with the Slack app, it makes the process of pair development and knowledge sharing easier than ever.
Pros and Cons
  • Screenhero's tools makes pair development a breeze. Being able to share control of my screen and keyboard with another developer makes explaining code changes incredibly easy and efficient.
  • Audio/microphone speaking capabilities make screen sharing and workflow explanations so easy. It's almost easier to share a Screenhero session with a fellow developer sitting in the same room than it is to have the developer come over and look at my screen.
  • The slack integration tool makes it SO easy to quickly resolve issues with coworkers. Prior to the Slack integration/merge, you used to have to send an invite email to coworkers if they hadn't ever used screenhero. After they signed up, it automatically imported all of your Slack contacts as "buddies" which was very slick.
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Pair development
  • Knowledge Shares
  • Bug-reporting and explanation
  • Audio/voice integration WITH video share
  • Makes gaming very fun
  • Copy/Paste works flawlessly from my computer to another screenhero users computer.
  • Screenhero works with screen-recording software, so not only can I pair-develop, I can take video of a pair development session.
  • I can't think of any reason why Screenhero wouldn't be suited for any situation. I would say that they need to bring back the option for a native app capability outside of the slack app like they did during the Slack merge transition.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
ScreenHero is used in addition to Slack to communicate with team members via video calling. We use this across all teams and the usage of ScreenHero has allowed for quick impromptu video calls to create more clarity on slack messages. The ability to share screens is very beneficial as well when assisting others through workflows or creating more visuals.
Pros and Cons
  • Screen sharing is game changing!
  • Easy to use while integrated with Slack.
  • Quick and reliable.
Likelihood to Recommend
ScreenHero is great for [starting] a regular Slack conversation and turning it into a full-blown video conference. It's been great for sharing on a more intimate level and making sure that everyone is on the same page. It's only a few clicks away from having a face to face interaction! Love it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Screenhero was our go-to screen sharing service to connect with remote teammates revolving around product training, bug replication (especially with different browser behaviors - I'm looking at you Internet Explorer), and quick inter-team meetings. I primarily used it to connect with our engineering team to help demonstrate and replicate bugs I encountered while using our own product to help facilitate a speedier fix time.
Pros and Cons
  • EASY! A simply to use and understand UI cannot be understated. I needed no additional training and did not need to reference and support documentation to pick up and use Screenhero with my team. It's easy to add new folks to connect with, easy to call them, easy to end the call, and so forth. I would liken the UI to a more sleek Yahoo Instant Messenger (for those who remember that service!).
  • Painless. I rarely ever had connectivity issues or grainy audio/video quality. When I did occasionally encounter that (rough guess maybe 1 in 20), it usually cleared itself up after a few seconds. I think it's only ever "locked up" on me twice, meaning I had to disconnect and reconnect in order for the issue to be resolved. Overall, a painless experience.
Likelihood to Recommend
Screenhero does screen sharing really well. But, that is all it does really well. There seems to me to be a struggle of business focus. Do you work like a sniper rifle and focus on doing one thing really well? Or do you work more like a bucket of water and splash across a large swath of services for your target audience and risk becoming a jack of all trades and a master of none? I appreciate that Screenhero's focus is to do screen sharing well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is used heavily in our engineering department, and used on a regular basis with other departments. Screenhero allows us to not only be able to screen share, but be able to pair the program without having to be in the same location. And because of the ease of use, it is actually used in the same office side by side at times that make it easier for both users to be able to work off the same screen and not have to be close in proximity.
Pros and Cons
  • Easy to establish a screen share with a user.
  • Easy to set up screen sharing with multiple users. Adding more than one user to the same screen share is pretty easy and great for code reviews.
  • The audio quality and screen sharing quality are solid.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for one on one troubleshooting. When I need to see a usability issue or a bug, but the person describing it isn't a developer or doesn't know the feature very well, having the ability to be able to just ask them to show their screen and walk me through what is going on is HUGE. It is also great for helping or being helped with specific development situations where someone else can "drive" in respect to writing an element in the code that you are not familiar with. Cuts down on the time of saying, "No, go to the upper left, now three items down, or line 5439 of this file". It isn't the solution for conference calls or situations where you don't want to share the ability to operate on your computer or theirs. Yes, you can change those settings, but usually, I just want to leave that alone.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
One case is my consulting company: I guided one of my fellow developers remotely. Another case was helping a software engineer student with his project (also remotely). Screenhero comes in handy in remote work/telecommuting situations. When someone is using only a conventional video chat application it can be lengthy and cumbersome to explain to the other end where to click and what to do exactly. With a tool like Screenhero you can take control of the inputs (mouse, keyboard) of the remote end, and while you are demonstrating you are performing the changes as well, drastically cutting down time.
Pros and Cons
  • Works on all platforms. I used it successfully on Windows and MacOSX as the remote end.
  • Easy to set up, the installation was seamless.
  • If you got an invitation before it was acquired by Slack you can have the account for free.
Likelihood to Recommend
The installation and usage was smooth on both ends. I'm giving 10 without knowing the pricing. Once pricing is published it may lower the score if it's not competitive with other solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Screenhero is used primarily by the engineering and product team at our organization. The problem it addresses is that with remote engineers, and two separate offices, often times solving a problem in code and/or design requires collaboration between people that are not in the same office. Standard screensharing software and conference tools are great when presenting, but for problem solving, the addition of non-hosts being able to take control of the screen with a visible cursor is a life savor!
Pros and Cons
  • Screensharing with all participants being able to take control of the screen.
  • A visible mouse cursor for each participant helps keep everything clear and straightforward.
  • The call quality very clear.
  • Seems to be fairly light on bandwidth requirements.
Likelihood to Recommend
Screenhero is perfect for engineering and product teams who either have remote staff or multiple offices. It's a great pairing to Slack, since the messaging function of Screenhero is lackluster, but slack calls are poor quality and there's no screensharing solution within Slack. Screenhero's ability to allow call participants to take over the cursor and use their own keyboard to control inputs makes it perfect for problem solving and diving into code between engineers, or for talking through product UX design.

Screenhero for the win!

I use Screenhero almost daily to perform pair programming sessions with my colleagues. Screenhero is being used within my team for the purpose of sharing coding sessions and also getting work done while collaborating together new ideas and programming techniques.
Pros and Cons
  • Screen and mouse/keyboard input sharing is the best I saw in any product in the market.
  • Voice call ability while screen sharing.
  • Very easy setup process. Only register an account and immediately start sharing sessions and working with your team.
Likelihood to Recommend
Screenhero is lightweight, easy to install, and achieves the main purpose of sharing screens and preforming sessions among different remote users where the all can use their own mouse/keyboard as if they are each working on their computers locally. Voice quality is reliable. However, the absence of having a video for all members of the sessions adds a layer of inconvenience sometimes, especially when the purpose of a screen-sharing sessions is to both work together and attend a meeting. In my team we compensate for the missing video by using Google Hangouts.
