"Remote Assistance made Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

Easy way to remotely log into a user system in order to handle issues quickly and efficiently, agent installs remotely as long as you're an admin. The drop down menu of AD computers quickly populates and shows which machines are online and available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

The update for the 64 bit agent never seems to go through, but it has no impact on the product as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Dameware NT Utilities ver. 6.9"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

I like Dameware because the interface is very easy to get to used to. The ability to save a log of commonly used machines is very nice. It also has the nice ability to review the event log and registry remotely without disrupting the end user. I also like that when you remote into a machine, you can easily tell that you are remoted into a machine unlike Remote Desktop which often can be confused with the same machine you are on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

The main thing that I do not like is that when I have a saved list of commonly used machines, it will often jumble up the way I have them saved. I create sub folders to organize my machines and sometimes it will duplicate a machine, put it in the wrong folder or even randomly delete them. This is my biggest dislike with this program.

"4+ years using Dameware in Business Enviornment, great tool!"
5/5
What do you like best about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

Its ability to control virtually any computer on our network including macs. Also its wide variety of built in tools in DRS that allows various functions to be accomplished. We use it to get a visual on machines when users report issues. It also allows me to run command remotely via its remote command prompt option requiring no user intervention or awareness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support?

Not many dislikes. Its gui looks to be a little outdated visually. Its find search feature could be a bit better. Sometimes it won't find a pc or query unless you are very specific. An export feature would also benefit the program where you would be able to export containers listed in you ad containers. Sometimes the remote command prompt can be a bit buggy in 64 bit os unless you preinstall on your base image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DameWare Remote Control is a good product and easy to use"
4/5

Having the ability for multiple authentication methods if you have different platforms and/or systems with different requirements. Different connection types (RDP and VNC) can be helpful at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- If you are to connect via a proxy the connection is quite slow. More so than some of their competitors products

- After using the software's locking user keyboards/mouse feature it might not allow you to unlock without having to disconnect and reconnect to the machine for them to continue to work with you if you need their assistance in troubelshooting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
