If multiple sets of credentials and User Directories are involved across the servers you're connecting to, this is a huge help in organizing them all and managing changes over time. Having multiple concurrent server connections in tabs instead of separate windows is also much more convenient. While we're only using RDP, there are multiple connection methods to facilitate a mixed environment.

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.

Cons
  • Can be overly complicated at first, but you can add into the features as you build your organization skills

  • 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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
ASG-Remote is very flexible and with so many options available it makes the configuration you want for your setup super simple. Other products do not offer the extra features for database and reporting. As well, it offers all the connection types you can possibly think of. The ability to automate tasks for regular servers and workstations is amazing!

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.

Return on Investment
  • I am unable to measure that at this time. However, I do know ASG is a timesaver.

  • 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
