really good tool. it can do most every operation. unfortunately, you do need the user to initiate the support vs. something like Dameware and gaining admin access in a business environment means giving the customer's admin credentials. I also wish the file manager did not need admin control to use.
I haven't had to use support so I'm not sure.
LogMeIn is a good tool for supporting remote customers. You are able to perform almost all troubleshooting steps remotely, though there are issues with needing to enter bios or troubleshoot sound that still require deskside support.
