SolarWinds DameWare Customer Testimonial

As we continue to get more and more remote sites DameWare makes our job much easier. We can connect to user PCs without any hassle. If the machine is new the files are pushed and boom you’re in in a matter of moments. Just a great tool and would recommend it to IT departments of all sizes.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk Customer Testimonial

Web Help Desk’s abilities surrounding ticket automation and routing, the approval process, internal tickets, and parent/child ticketing, have all contributed to greater efficiencies.

Ryan Calhoun, Help Desk Technician, Central Florida Expressway Authority

SolarWinds Web Help Desk Customer Testimonial

Our previous system was very limited in reporting tools and ‘bells and whistles.’ In addition, it didn’t always work. Web Help Desk is an improvement in every feature when compared to our previous system, including alerts/notifications, enforcement of SLAs, detailed emails to techs, and we love the pop-up notifications based on the Report Type selected by clients. This alone helps improve support because we can give end users answers before they even ask the questions.

Help Desk Manager, Educational Institution

SolarWinds Web Help Desk Customer Testimonial

Prior to using of SolarWinds Web Help Desk, we would only use email to receive support requests. Almost all the time requests would get lost in the clutter of our email. Now, we can see an exact number of open tickets at any given time. It’s so great, our other non-IT support departments ( ie. QA, Case Updates, HR) have begun using Web Help Desk to keep them on track and on time.

[Having the ability] to respond to the client by email and with all the contact information and hardware assigned to the user\client in one place makes it so much faster and easier to provide support which means resolving the issue faster.
