Goverlan Reach vs. mRemoteNG

This product is a must for any help desk that is supporting an active directory based network. Scope action capabilities also make it valuable to systems administrators etc.

Well suited to environments where IT staff need to access multiple servers/systems at the same time, cutting down on time wasted opening multiple windows. Not so useful for users that only need to access one system remotely, as most of its functions are largely unused in that case.

• Good configurable dashboard that can be personalized per audience
• Built in packages for monitoring standard applications that can be personalized easily
• Simple, easy to use update deployment configuration.

Incentivized

• Easy to organize and group servers.
• Many different protocols for remote access.
• The ability to make use of external applications for non-directly supported protocols.
• Servers can inherit settings from nodes above so you can set up properties once making adding new servers/devices very quick.
• Easy to export and share config with new team members (be mindful of what you do with passwords though).

• Machines must be online for actions to be performed, scopes allow you to rerun them against failed objects only but really a much better option would be for client agent to check in at power on for open jobs.
• Newest version of Reach is glitchy on Windows 10 requiring the occasional restart of the application.

• The user interface for configuration is a little basic, and not obvious for a new user to set up connections. It could be a bit clearer how to do that.
• It does not seem to automatically update itself to new versions - though older ones work fine, you can miss out on some new functions if you don't check for updates manually.

Because it is easy to use once installing. The interface is very intuitive and there are help files available for anyone needing further set up assistance. For someone who is currently overwhelmed with managing too many things in too many places, mRemote simplifies this and puts the power back in the administrators hands with their intuitive interface.

Never actually needed to use support so have no idea - honestly it's simple enough to use I'd be surprised if anyone really needs support with it.

Not as full featured for Microsoft products but better at cross platform uses. Agent-less option works better in Goverlan.

Every now and then I do look to see if there is any other software that can bring together multiple remote access protocols in a single interface that can contain multiple connections to remote devices with image scaling to mage use of a windowed interface and have yet to find an alternative that does all that but doesn't cost a huge amount. Don't get me wrong I would happily pay for an alternative that could provide an overall better, more convenient experience, but I have yet to find one that has made me think it's worth jumping ship from mRemoteNG.

• With a product like this it is entirely possible that you will see large increase in Help Desk efficiency for those who are willing to take the time to fully explore its possibilities.
• Much more robust that any other remote support product I have used while still extremely cheap compared to competing products. This can bring enterprise level support options to those that may normally not be able to afford it.
• Reporting features are invaluable to anyone wanting to truly know what is happening on their network.

Incentivized

• Very easy to hand over connections to new starters.
• Having multiple remote protocols in one place is a massive time saver.
