An Excellent Tool for Zero Cost, but Falls Short

9 /10

What differentiates HelpWire from other similar products?

HelpWire is a free solution (for now) that enables rather quick and easy connections to remote users. The biggest thing that stands out about HelpWire is the simple fact that it's - free.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The Operator Dashboard is easy to use and you can start up a support session in seconds. The fact that it keeps the chat with the customer as well as logs of connections is a nice touch.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The app doesn't have support for mobile devices, although this has been promised. It would be nice if it sent the email to the customer for you with the link to login, but for now you have to copy and paste the link and email it yourself.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With a cost of… free… it's not a bad solution for offering quick and easy remote support to end-users. There's literally no reason NOT to try it.

Pros

  • Respectful
  • Includes Product Enhancements
  • Reliable
  • Effective Service

Cons

  • Inhibits Innovation
  • Slower Product Innovation
  • Commodity Features

Solid remote desktop, needs mobile support

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates HelpWire from other similar products?

What really sets HelpWire apart from other remote support tools I've used is the lack of connection restrictions. With tools like TeamViewer, I was constantly frustrated by session limit warnings. HelpWire, on the other hand, lets me connect without any of those hassles, which is a huge relief.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The interface is straightforward, so I can quickly connect to clients' devices and start troubleshooting without jumping through hoops. Plus, the performance is rock solid—no lag or sudden disconnections, which is crucial when I'm in the middle of solving a client's issue.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The one thing I dislike most about HelpWire is the lack of mobile support. Having mobile compatibility would make it a more versatile tool and would save me the trouble of having to use other software to fill that gap. It’s definitely a feature I’m hoping they add in the future.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Make sure your primary focus is on desktop support. HelpWire excels in this area, offering stable and secure connections.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
