We use Dameware Remote Everywhere to support remote clients in both unattended modes as well as on-demand. This product addresses the need for remote support when users are either on the road or quarantined due to Covid-19. Unattended access is usually set up on machines for remote maintenance and monitoring to make support more efficient especially in time-sensitive situations.
  • Unattended remote access
  • Ability to quickly and easily distribute the remote software client
  • Allows users a painless way to connect with tech support for a myriad of issues
  • 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
DRE is a great tool for any business offering remote support. It is more affordable than a lot of other products as well as offers unattended AND on-demand access in one product. Many other competitors offer unattended and on-demand services however ask for two separate subscriptions which is inconvenient and more costly.

  • Enabled the company to make more profit by allowing for remote support of users
  • We have noticed productivity boosts as technicians are able to assist quickly.
  • Customers find it easier to do remote support and ask for this service more often.
Dameware DRE is a powerhouse tool that in my opinion blows these other products out of the water. Each of these competitors offer great services but at a cost as they require multiple subscriptions or a pay to upgrade to the latest version (TeamViewer). DRE is a simple "one stop shop" where everything you need is readily at your fingertips.

We use it company wide as our Samanage helpdesk (another SolarWinds product) integrates nicely with it.
  • The ability to send ad hoc links to a Samanage ticket allows users to be helped even if they're on their home computer and need assistance logging into our VPN was essential for us in the COVID-19 transition to an at home workforce!
  • The methods of deployment are nice and easily managed through GPO.
  • The interface of seeing waiting sessions and options to collaborate with other technicians is nice and user friendly.
  • When the end user doesn't have admin rights (most don't on work PCs or within VDI) and they click to run the downloaded exe given to them from the helpdesk ticket, the exe isn't smart enough to realize there's already an agent installed (which DOES allow admin rights) so what ends up happening is the technician becomes hampered and unable to even see the screen when admin rights are requested forcing us to adopt an ever changing password tempadmin user that we give to the end users (but even then we can't see what they're seeing and our session goes into an infinite loop). DRE is supposed to request and even give credentials for admin access but it simply doesn't work in practice when within a VDI environment.
  • I'd like the ability for all technicians to be logged in even if we don't have the licenses, we pay for concurrent sessions not users, it shouldn't require us to leave the application totally logged off, that's silly.
  • Given the robustness of the integration with the Samanage helpdesk (saves session history so we know there was a technician who helped that ticket, etc) we really wish it was smart enough in the inventory integration to know what agents already exist and are operating and allow us to give a link to leverage that user's agent on the known inventory item, like if there was a dropdown in Samange for known inventory PCs associated with that user and based on the user's ticket see which have the agent installed allowing our technicians to simply click to connect to that rather than putting our user through downloading and running an exe.
  • An interface showing all known inventory items akin to how TeamViewer does it with their address book would alleviate some unknowns and allow for better management of unattended remote access needs rather than us hunting for it and/or resorting to other means of access not DRE (like vCenter spying on a session which messes up users with multiple monitors, RDP which takes over user sessions with our own, or VNC which doesn't work through the internet).
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!

  • Oh it's more than paid for itself! Without it we would be stuck without any decent alternative supporting our users working from home or connecting with their crazy devices!
  • With the discounts we won and the advice of the sales team we ended up walking away with only needing 1 concurrent user session for our fleet of 5 IT staff supporting our 125 users in the wild (mostly in CT but one in CA and one in Germany). This saved us over $1,000/year in expected costs!
  • While hard to put a number on, the idea of driving to users' houses (when we had to blitz and support remote work a few months back) was likely going to cost us TONS of money in compensating my IT staff for gas mileage! Instead that money was able to be saved and put towards end users acquiring better home setup equipment like 2nd monitors and printers to help support their job away from the office. The potential loss of business had we not been able to do this and forced to shut down would be impossible to calculate as our impact to our customers would be so devastating who knows if we'd survive that at all!
Its integration with Samanage and cost were the key deciding factors over TeamViewer (which can be VERY expensive despite how easy and nice it is to use) and it's just far more functional and less limited than VNC or RDP or Chrome Remote Desktop options or even the screen share with Microsoft Teams (which only works when using the installed Teams app). It's important to note the deployment methods are nice and powerful too and support has been great so far.
Working with support, even SALES support, has been great. They're very responsive, open, honest, and give viable alternatives to the somewhat odd and limited integrations with Samanage. The reason I gave a 9 out of 10 is I wish the DRE support teams were more directly integrated with the other SolarWinds product lines like Samanage so we don't have to be bounced around but everyone there too has been great and responsive.

SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is a remote access software used exclusively in our organization. It provides secure remote access for our technology team to access servers and workstations in all of our locations securely. SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere allows us to disable the insecure RDP protocol on our network, and also provides central administration and control to log and record who is using it, and what systems are being remoted to.
  • Central administration and control of users and permissions
  • Secure access to Windows-based machines using the default or custom ports
  • SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is a robust software package that allows access to all systems. There is nothing I currently feel it could do better.
SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is an excellent remote access and control software for use in any scenario. Whether the technical support team is located in the same building or office as the users, or off-site in another remote location, SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is a robust system for any situation.
Our team also uses it for remote access to servers, when that server is locked in a location with no physical access. By using encryption and randomized ports, we can be sure that the connection is secure with minimal chances of interception.
