Overall Satisfaction with DameWare Remote Support

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.
  • Remotely accessing Windows machines
  • Support for multiple monitor setups on Windows machines
  • Ease of use for their product
  • Multiple monitor setups for Mac Pro workstations just does not work, even after placing a call for support
  • SolarWinds support could use some help
  • Better customer service
  • Increased employee efficiency
  • Better employee moral
DameWare provides better support for Windows domain environments
I have had no issues with Windows workstations or servers, but the support for Mac workstations leaves something to be desired.
