Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS."
"Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console.with same functions as Desktop Console."
"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of 10. They are polite, quick, and good with follow-ups."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool."
"The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running."
"It could be more compatible with other applications. We had trouble with compatibility when it came to Entrust. This is because we had issues with Windows machines when we installed Entrust."
"I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices."
"The screen annotation tools could be expanded. I would like to see a text/typing annotation tool."
"It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer."
"Static notes for hosts: If I could enter notes on a Jump Client and have them appear every time I connect to that Client, it would be a huge benefit."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"If they included some sort of monitoring system for managed services so we can have it all in one package, that would be helpful. There are managed services solutions that allow us to remote into the computers, but a lot of them have too much overhead. Usually, the remote connection is not as simple and as fast and cannot be run as a service."
