Getscreen.me vs. Wayk Bastion (Discontinued)

It's well suited for IT employees who want to have an easy way to connect to other empoyees or customers. the quck conenct functionallity is easy to use and setup. Unfortunitly in germany some customers got slow internet and the performance from getscreen.me is not so great compaired to other remote desktop software.

If you need a low-cost solution, that just works, Wayk Now is a great option. There are other options in the market, but most came with a huge install package or update every time it connects. Less appropriate I think, is when you already use some solution. If only because of the budget, maybe you need to make a better analysis of other products too.

• easy connection to new clients - both one time use and permanent
• keep computers organized

• connection log
• custom branding and personalized quick connection link

• Wayk Now makes it really easy to use by having only a few items in view.
• It is fairly easy to configure and even allows connectivity through firewalls.
• It maintains the connection, even over a relatively low bandwidth connection.

• On a mac, better ability to trigger a hidden dock
• Certain key commands don't work and only trigger the computer you're actually on, not the remote one.
• Make it a little less IT focused and a bit more layman friendly with some naming and features.

Incentivized

• They don't have unattended access yet.
• We don't like the feature where they can share their "number" and have someone not from the company access their computers.

Value for money - Getscreen.me stands above the rest!

Considering that Wayk Now comes in a free edition that can be used commercially, even if I wasn't to renew Wayk Now for whatever reason, I would still use it, but I do actually require the unattended access feature which is available for free now with the new free business licence.

For what we need it to do, it just works. And I'm sure that we're not even using it to the full extent of what it's capable and designed to do. If we had the need, Getscreen.me has many more features that we could implement. If the need arises in the future, it's great knowing that we already have a tool to utilize.

I feel Wayk Now is very useable as it's still a very simple concept packaged basically the same way that the competition does with their remote assist type apps

When I did reach out at the early days of using Getscreen.me I got a pretty prompt response, and all of my questions were answered. Since then, I have never needed to contact support. This is a GOOD thing!

My experience with their support is for a related product, not Wayk Now; however Devolutions support has always been superior to most regardless of the product being used. I left it at a 9 instead of a 10 simply because I haven't used it, but I would expect nothing less than a 10 from my experiences with RDM - both free and paid versions.

Easy, fast and worked every time to date!

While TeamViewer is a more mature/developed product. TeamViewer has more features and the interface is very similar but TeamViewer feels better. While TeamViewer currently takes the lead by a small margin for us, Getscreen.me is a very capable application for our needs. For the price/performance we prefer Getscreen.me.

Acts the same, small footprints so it does not hog resources. Personally I like Wayk since I love the Devolutions products. I also like how you can share resources, such as files and executables through the sessions. This makes troubleshooting and installing programs easier. This also allows techs to look at issues while having potential to have troubleshooting tips open on a second window.

• Cheap cost - I got it on Appsumo with no monthly fee.
• The freedom to solve issues for transport companies given the high amount of data and control.
• It works 100% of the time. There's never been any downtime from experience.

• There is a no-cost version of the tool which has an immediate positive Return on Investment as it allows remote support users to efficiently assist users
