Overall Satisfaction with DameWare Remote Support

DameWare Remote Support is used by the group I am a part of to allow us to support multiple machines quickly. We can add update software quickly across the network to multiple machines. Not sure how many other members of organization use it, but we recommend it to people we interface with at individual plants.
  • Allows you to support other computers without kicking other user off. Allows them to observe and learn.
  • Allows one person to upgrade multiple machines quickly.
  • Gives a good view of whole network, and allows you to move between machines quickly.
  • I would like to see a better how to manual. Takes a little while to become familiar with it.
  • It allows us to do our job better, so that is a positive return.
  • vSphere,VMware Workstation
Different strengths. Workstation allows me to have multiple operating systems on my PC. I also use it some to talk to servers. VSphere is also a good interface to servers, especially ESX machines. I use DameWare mainly when talking to multiple PCs. I don't feel it has quite as good an interface when talking to a server running VMs.
For it's application, it does a good job.
