Overall Satisfaction with DameWare Remote Support
We use DameWare to remotely support all global end user computers. It is very inexpensive on a per end user basis, and very easy to deploy and [provides] great security. Fixing printer issues, drive/folder access, application support and upgrades are all easier when seeing it from the user's perspective. Our user base is accustomed to receiving hassle free support, especially while trouble shooting, and often ask IT to remote in to see their issue.
- Easy for users to comprehend
- Easy to deploy to Windows desktops for consistent end user experience
- Good security options to offer end user privacy protection.
- Add secure option to operate beyond corporate WAN, I.E. over the Internet like Citrix GoToAssist
- All positive ROI for reducing cost of helpdesk operations.
- It looks like we may be able to improve it further by offering remote user support off WAN.
- GoToAssist,RealVNC,TeamViewer
We do use simple Lync screensharing and IM chat since we already use it. We evaluated Citrix GoToAssist, Windows Remote Desktop Connection/Manager, RealVNC, WebEx, TeamViewer.
