"Great remote tool"
4/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

I love it's completeness. You can connect many different ways, mirror driver, MRC viewer, RDP, VNC, etc. You can change the authentication method to match your needs as well. Have a domain computer? Use the domain account with permissions to connect and go. Need to log in as a local admin on a domain machine? Change the domain to the computer name, enter the credentials and go. You can save these different connections as well, making it easy to customize a particular connection and revisit it. Most importantly, you can see the UAC prompt and enter elevated credentials when necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

I really dislike how it renders sometimes. If the user has their desktop zoomed in, instead of making it full screen on my side, it carries over into the next screen. I have to adjust it. And heaven help me if the user has multiple screens at different resolutions and I have to move back and forth. I usually end up connecting to the main monitor and asking the user to drag windows over as I need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dameware Remote Everywhere"
5/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

I like the ease of use, the ease of setup/deployment. Unattended access allows for admin elevation, so do the shell interface. It supports multiple monitors, file transfer, etc. Lots of the same features as other, much higher priced options and works just as well, if not better. Plus, the price per technician is great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

It has a web based admin console and software based console for management. We have 2 technician licenses, one for me and one for our help desk guy. If I'm logged in, as myself, to the web console and my local install of the software console at the same time, he cannot login. I get that they don't want people sharing accounts. But limit the number of sessions 1 account can have open at a time and allow the one user to login into both the web based and local console at the same time. I normally wouldn't complain, but this is how they recommend to set it up.

Other than this one issue, the software is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
