HelpWire vs. RealVNC Connect

Great for quick access to remote devices to check the software I need. Unattended access would be great to have, as it would make the testing process even easier for me.

It is very easy to use if the remote device is already set up to receive connections, so if you are setting up devices before deploying them, it is a great tool to have. It is well-suited to use when shadowing users or using it as a teaching tool. There are other products that are better if you are trying to help someone on a one-use basis.

• UX/UI can be improved.
• Sometimes the screen freezes but connection is not lost so we can close the window and open again.
• It's an amazing App but most of the people I know have not heard about it. I think company should spend more on marketing.

• Some of the confusion of VNC upon installation is you need to be connected to the internet for it to function. This is not the case, but is unclear upon installation.
• The licensing model is not ideal for locations that do not use the internet and function off of the grid.

It's free, but I love their service, so I will buy their service if they introduce any paid program.

VNC is a solid product for the price. It simply works and its reliable across different platforms. Some products state they work well in the Mac environment but don't deliver. This one does what it says. Connections are reliable, but of course, this depends on internet connections. The product works well over wireless connections as well. It delivers on what a remote tool should deliver on. My technicians are happy with the product and customers appreciate the ease of use when letting us connect to their systems. Some also appreciate the remote support while they are multi-task.

I have no complaints about HelpWire’s usability. It’s quick to set up and easy to navigate, with a clear interface that avoids unnecessary buttons and input fields. It’s simple, which is perfect for my needs

It's a niche product and in that niche they try to cater to as many use cases as they can. Other as a TCO aspect i don't see many use cases where you can't use this product as the one tool for all remote session use cases in your company

VNC Connect is a reliable product that has been around for a long time. It is reasonably priced and works well in the Mac & PC environment. When you have a small team that supports many users we need tools that we can rely upon and that will get the job done on the first try. Many customers appreciate the quick assistance and can multi-task while our team works on their computer issues remotely. From a customer service point of view, this tool gives us transparency and efficient effectiveness.

The training is very informative, quick and to the point. All of the details one would need are present so the user doesn't have to go searching for additional information just to use the application. The layout of the training was also neat and concise, some of the other training sessions for other companies I've done in the past were confusing and not well thought out, this one is much more superior

No problem at all, love the product.

A few years back, I was using TeamViewer and AnyDesk now and then, but they both started glitching, which was super frustrating. So, I switched to Splashtop, and while it was totally fine okay. When HelpWire came onto the market, I decided to give it a try, and I’m really happy I made the switch. Reliable performance, ease of use, and strong security were key factors for me.

VNC Connect stacks up very well to other competitors. With this simple program, you can remotely connect and access other computers with the same VNC Connect agent installed. The only reason we're moving away from using this is that our current Ninja RMM Tools computer monitoring agent includes the TeamViewer tool for us to use.

• I have just used the software for about 1 month and so far so god. I am saving time whenever I can access my client's computers from my desk as opposed to having to leave my office to go to their offices. Saves me time and the client money.
