[U2] What remote support product do YOU use?

2012-10-03 Thread Ross Ferris
Just posted this to the pick/multivalue Google group, but figure there may be 
some (larger?) U2 only people who may have valuable insight on the subject, so 


We have been using TeamViewer (www.teamviewer.com) for the past 18 months or 
so, and I'm generally very happy with it - I can access Windows, Linux  apple 
hosts from my desktop, or even my iPhone (screen is too small for remote 
support so will be upgrading to a GalaxyNote 2 Phablet soon, so will have a 
chance to try out the Android client), and would be happy to recommend others 
looking for a solution (quote coupon code 95051-42-600991 to get a 3% discount)

We had previously used LogMeIn, RDP for server access, and/or even VNC if we 
had VPN access, but TeamViewer just works for us. Licencing is one off, based 
on number of people our end that will be running concurrent sessions to 
clients, rather than paying per client system, and I keep toying with the idea 
of integrating with Visage as a Support button. We also use TeamViewer to run 
presentations, though I tend to use Skype rather than integrated VOIP 
capabilities

That said, I'm also curious if anyone has a better product they have used 
(first hand, rather than just something they have read about which sounded 
good), and/or especially if you had previously had a commercial TeamViewer 
licence  moved on.

Hoping for confirmation of our choice, but happy to have my horizons expanded 
:-)

Keeping more in line with the request, we also use TeamViewer as our remote 
support tool.
I have not encountered internal complaints about it, so it seems a reasonable 
option for the job.

C'mon Gregor, you should be up on all of this Jargon! Phablet is something 
that (vaguely) resembles a phone (can fit in a VERY LARGE pocket), and yet 
isn't quite a tablet. Whilst I can, and have, used the iPhone for support, I 
figure a bigger screen, plus a throwback to the stylus (aka S-pen) may make it 
easier when I get a call in shopping centre  though I haven't confirmed 
s-pen will work as I hope/expect  waiting until release is more 
mainstream, rather than the current batch of grey product from people like 
Kogan (though they do offer 12 month Australian warranty, so possibly not as 
grey as I thought)

We use LogMeIn with two factor authentication to satisfy PCI/DSS. The 
free IOS app is actually usable from my iPad and now that I have mobile 
hotspot enabled on my Droid Razr all I really have to haul around to be 
available 24/7 is the phone and tablet. Kind of nice after all these 
years of dragging a laptop everywhere I went.

Windows Remote Assistance for desktops, MSTSC for servers.  I really
like TeamViewer though.

I use RDP Lite on my phone to remotely manage servers in a pinch.
