Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)

We use it as our primary remote support tool. It's integrated with our ticketing system and allows for quick connections. We use it regularly to solve end user problems or assist with authorization of installs.

Pros

  • Remote control is solid, rarely loses connection
  • Allows for control of the desktop prior to login
  • Allows for scripts to be executed in the background without disturbing users
  • Allows for batch rollout of scripts across multiple machines
  • Allows us to see the end users' desktop - as opposed to RDP

Cons

  • The client is a little bulky. Would appreciate something that uses less resources.
  • Enterprise rollout is not optimized. We ended up having to install manually in most cases.
  • Client is often not active after initial install - often takes a reboot before it's available.
  • Costs are lower than many remote tools out there.
  • Licensing is by tech instead of by machine.
  • Remote support has saved us quite a bit over local desktop visits
It's a good tool overall, but could be better.
Much better product than above. Screen control is more comprehensive, better connectivity through reboots.
