Essentially if you are in IT and provide end-user support and IT administration, then SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support may be just the remote administration tool you need. Perhaps the major advantage of the software is that it allows you to connect to remote systems and offer support from your desk and in many cases, do so without ever having to physically visit end-user workstations. As far as we're concerned here at FileHippo.com, any software that helps us move less is always a good thing. Key Features: Manage multiple sessions from one console with a tabbed interface.

(That means your staff can save time and not end up shouting "The off button, at the wall, just turn it off. No, the other switch. The other one!" SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support is also easy to use. The tabbed interface mimics a typical Internet browser so you can have multiple sessions open in just one window. As well as this, support staff can connect & reconnect to the same computers they frequently access using the 'favorites' tab.

SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support is easy to install and operate across networks, and the interface is uncluttered and is extremely intuitive for both new and experienced users. While it isn't free, SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support it does come with a fully functional no restrictions 14-day trial, and that's a good sign because it shows its creators have a lot of confidence in their product.

You can investigate and isolate excessive network bandwidth utilization and unexpected application traffic.
