Wayk Now was lacking as you might expect when it was released but it's now at the point where its caught up with competitor's products feature-wise. Also, Devolutions is a company I have used for years now starting with Remote Desktop Manager and as I've never had any issues …

Cost is much better than LogMeIn Pro (subscription based) with the same functionality and ease of use.

The product is still in evaluation, however, it is easier than VNC or Skype and cheaper than TeamViewer, so it seems to be in the lead. At this point, the main competition is from Skype because it is part of the Office 365 Suite anyway. So it is justifying the value over what …

RDM (Remote Desktop Manager) is our main remote connection application. Wayk Now, also from Devolutions, are a very well integrated with RDM and therefore it's a logical choice to also use Wayk Now.

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. …

Very lightweight, but very similar to TeamViewer in feel and look. Package is easy to share and start, UI is clean, but they are missing many features. This is not a real replacement for those other options right now, but since they release very rapidly, maybe it's already …

I think they're great tools also. But. Skype for Business, it's only for 365 users or, with external users, be prepared to download a nice 50Mb PLUGIN.... And TeamViewer, I think it's great, but lots of companies around the world block it thinking it's a malware, more than a …

I tried out Wayk Now since I'm a user of Remote Desktop Manager and wanted to see how Wayk Now performs from the same company. We didn't evaluate any other products.

Remote Administration
Comparison of Remote Administration features of Wayk Bastion (Discontinued)
It is a product that is very small footprint that allows remote control.Can be used very efficiently and effectively in a small environment. That would be up to 50 computers. You can use this in a larger environment but it would require multiple techs to cover. Currently I am the only helpdesk tech in my company.
Wayk Now has 3 authentication methods to use when connecting in to a remote Wayk Now instance - Secure Remote Password (the app password), Secure Remote Delegation (the OS credentials which is used to gain elevated rights should they be required) and finally Prompt for Permission which is very handy if your client isn't IT literate so they just get a prompt to click on to authenticate with the app that way. From what I've seen in other remote assist apps, this is fairly unique.
Another new feature that I think gives Wayk a slight edge over the competition is a new graphics codec for the video feed from the client app called GFWX. Again its certainly a unique take on this problem of streaming the video to the client ends app. Basically it means that the image quality is a lot better for a lot less bandwidth because of the codec's compression.
The last point that Wayk Now does well is its integration with the other Devolutions products such as Remote Desktop Manager in which you can create Wayk Now session entries so that you can build up a DB of your clients/your own unattended Wayk Now instances that you can open from within RDM.

Requires an agent install on the remote computer (or a full Wayk install). Would like to see a tool that allowed someone to connect to my WAYK invite, and use the services remotely so that it is a true no-touch on the remote server.
Limited feature set (by design, but if you are looking for a full featured remote support product, this probably isn't it). Of course since this is by design it could be considered a pro.
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.

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

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.
I think they're great tools also. But. Skype for Business, it's only for 365 users or, with external users, be prepared to download a nice 50Mb PLUGIN.... And TeamViewer, I think it's great, but lots of companies around the world block it thinking it's a malware, more than a support tool.
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
