Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."
"The ability to run it as a console when I log in. It thinks I'm there. It allows me to do file transfers. It allows me to see event logs through the utility, as opposed to having to open them on the client machine, so I can help troubleshoot unobtrusively."
"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."
"Our favorite feature is being able to diagnose customers' problems by seeing them on the screen, rather than just over the phone."
"The initial setup was straightforward and simple. We did not have any training. We just installed it and were able to use it right away."
"They've thought of everything in terms of features. It's got all the little drill-down details and capabilities to apply patches and other stuff like that. I don't use everything they offer but you can go wherever you want to take this tool. It's been around for a really long time. We try as much as possible to train our staff to take care of their own systems and train our customer staff to take care of their own systems. There's a little laser pointer feature that you can pull up on the screen and say, "No, over here, click on this." That's very educational. It's a simple thing but when you're trying to get people to take responsibility and learn to take care of their own infrastructure, being able to just point at something while you're viewing their screen, as well as, take over their screen, is very valuable."
"I can remote reboot and know I can reconnect automatically without having to have the end user log back in again."
"The vendor's reliability provides me with peace of mind. Over the 10-plus years, we've literally had no issues with it going down or with it causing any problems or causing issues when our end-users are trying to get access to it."
"This product is very simple to use and you can connect whether you are behind a firewall or not."
"Remote desktop sharing is one valuable feature of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer Tensor is the remote access."
"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."
"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."
"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."
"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"
"I wish this product was tied to a Help Desk package so I could manage tickets and have an infrastructure, with this being the primary tool to troubleshoot."
"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."
"I would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use."
"The interface is not user-friendly. It looks a little outdated. I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement."
"The SSO feature of the solution may sometimes not function perfectly…Pricing might be improved for TeamViewer Tensor."
"The solution could include more AI (Artificial Intelligence)."
"Having the ability to create subgroups and delegate permissions to the group members would be a helpful addition."
