Comments and Reviews
I just started using it, the web interface is very clean and remote screen very responsive, a lot more than what I expected from a web app.
The clipboard transfert tool (so you can transfert notes from your clipboard to the remote computer's clipboard and inversely) is insanely useful, and is something I rarely seen in remote desktop tools.
It's also possible to transfert files, and there is a monitoring tab (mimicking the task manager: info about CPU and memory usage, drives space, etc.).
It's also opensource, which is just amazing. Kudos to the dev, that's great work!
I'm looking for a viable alternative to teamviewer, which lately is not as free/liberal as it used to be.
I've kicked dwservice's tires a bit for viability. Once connected to remote target machine, functionally this application provides the necessary service I'm looking for in terms of remote connection/control.
I've given low rating for following reasons:
Numerous times, if the target's agent is idle for too long the user code and password changes arbitrarily. When this happens I can't make any further connections because I don't know the knew code/password from my remote location. It would be helpful if the application could be configured to email new code/password to user's account so reconnection is possible.
Many people prefer portable apps. dwservice agent currently prompts whether agent should install or run uninstalled every time it is started. That is problematic because if/when (for any reason) remote machine restarts, agent cannot restart unattended. Even it if did, there is still the problem (above) that the agent will start with a new user code and password.
Developers of dwservice need to understand majority use case scenario that end users want to connect and control remote targets "reliably" first and foremost.
Generate a binary from your dwservice dashboard, it will be preconfigured to autoreconnect to your account, otherwise if you use the standard binaries from dwservice Download page it won't and that's why you got this issue of having to input a new code/password every time. I use the preconfigured binaries since years and never had an issue, they are super reliable.
I've been using DWService for about 4 years for internal IT support and remote access for a small company with
It works well, and it's reliable! The freemium aspect is to dedicate more bandwidth for your group. If you have very low bandwidth needs, you can use it for free (Donations are GREATLY appreciated, and recommended if you're using it professionally). The interface is not as slick as some alternatives, but there is zero nagging, and client access is all via a browser, no client is necessary. Install the service on the remote machine, then connect to it via your browser. Works for both attended and unattended solutions.
My new fav remote management solution!
I've used several programs for remote access and this is by far the best, at least for my needs. Even using the free version (without subscription) it is very fast. Program made by those who understand the subject, great tools.
Very good alternative to Anydesk !!! I recommend it ... take a look. Some things that occur to me to improve:
I've tried several remote support softwares and for personal use, I think DWService is the best option. It's ease to use, it's fast and FREE. Another option is RustDesk, but it lacks a portal to login and manage your machines. Said that, DWService is my choice.
