    Kaseya is way too expensive for what they offer. While scripting is nice, most of the time, the user just wants you to get in, fix it, and leave. Pulseway is good, but I frankly do not like the lack of support for a probe to install on a network and install the product to …

    Most of the time it is great. Sometimes with iPads it is not great or too expensive for orgs to pay for an option to allow iPads to be logged into along with computers and windows computer tablets. When needing to view something a client is talking about. It is great to use login to understand the issue and possibly fix any issues we need.

    I think for ANY environment it's worth taking it out for a test drive. It's very powerful, especially when using the agent to connect to sessions where the end user doesn't need admin rights but when not in a VDI environment it likely would perform better with its built in functionality to ask for elevation. It is really powerful, even with the ability to run command line scripts without the user seeing (kind of a built in psexec) and it does work with Mac and Linux to some degree too so it really is worth trying out regardless of your environment. It may be just what you're looking for and the sales folks at DRE are not pushy at all, at least in my experience, and give great advice even at the expense of selling less licenses!

    • Connectivity to a helpdesk/knowledgebase would be nice feature so users can do self-help
    • Offering a branded version of the client/agent would be a nice touch for businesses
    • A web-only version of the technician console for remote support would be a nice feature

    It may not be used often in our smaller organization but it really is the only option with a remote workforce. We do not want to learn a new product so it is much better to keep with what we know works well and our staff is used to utilizing

    Usability
    GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
    I believe that LogMeIn Rescue is extremely suitable for users of all levels of technical prowess. The user interaction is minimal, and the agent is available to take over at every step of the way. From problem resolution to training, LogMeIn Rescue can take care of it all. LogMeIn Rescue makes the user support process easier and faster so the user can have the issues resolved in a timely manner.

    I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

    SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is an easy to use software package. The manuals are easy to understand, and the installation is simple and straightforward. The Maintenance and support costs are relatively reasonable, and we maintain support and maintenance strictly for the upgrades rather than support. Over the years, SolarWinds has released numerous feature enhancements to the software package, making SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere indispensable on our network.

    Truth be told, Rescue is the first and so far only solution from LogMeIn I started to use. However since it offers a wide range of tools specifically designed for remote support, it is highly effective for resolving technical issues. Additionally, Rescue provides various connection methods and customizable interfaces, allowing support teams like mine to tailor the experience to specific needs.

    We basically selected this for our one of the SolarWinds Project. In that we needed to take remote session and screensharing and do the analysis and troubleshooting. In our initial analysis itself we got the excellent result, and it was too quick. We were very much inspired from this. Later on, we started using SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE) for almost all the projects of SolarWinds. Highly appreciated, thanks team.
