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's an excellent tool to stay in touch remotely across different teams and collaborate. There are a variety of issues that our technicians can encounter in the field so Zoho Lens enables us to simulate any parts needed in order to service the machines and helps us identify hardware issues more quickly.

Cons
  • 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.

Alternatives Considered
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.
