Support tool for remote servers (CoLo and Remote Sites), End user support, System setup without leaving office. Simple to use and user friendly.

Pros

Easy to use and connect to clients by machineID or UserID, copy and paste, and simple file transfers, great management tools and background scripts available also

Cons

Does require direct IP, when using VPN sometimes have to use IP rather than hostname or username, easy to get around though...

Saved us a ton of time in supporting our remote users.

Pros

Goverlan has made our IT Department much more efficient. We have about 16 sites and it has saved us countless hours from having to drive around and fix issues that take a few seconds to fix. Also, we can fix things before the user knows there is an issue.

Cons

My only thing I don't like is the agent deployed to the end user devices do not auto update when a new version is released.

Goverlan Reach is very effective in managing remote teams. With this tool, we can deploy software and applications, monitor the health status of computers ad other devices, spot critical issues and fix them quickly.

Goverlan helps us ensure client's business continuity and minimal service downtimes.

Pros

The software enables us to easily access remote system and unattended machines to provide assistance to remote teams and users over the internet.

We can easily query local user groups, manage their accounts and perform other operations like installations, password resets and other modifications.

You can initiate VoIP chat sessions, remote desktop access sessions and record them for future reference.

Cons

You need an expert to set up the software. Asides that, the software offers real value for companies, IT managers and more.

Goverlan allows me to fix quick and easy issues from my desk without having to go onsite for something that only takes minutes to fix.

Pros

Goverlan is easy to use and allows IT Admins the ability to troubleshoot and fix user issues quickly. The Remote Control is extremely helpful to see an issue immediately that a user may be having. Sometimes issues are gone by the time we have a chance to arrive on site.

Cons

I have not found anything yet. The software has so many features that I am still exploring and learning what additional abilities it gives me to make me more efficient.

Overall it has been a really solid product. Hope to see a cloud based version soon so we don’t have to lunch a hole in firewall for remote capabilities.

Pros

They have a ton of awesome features and functions. You can search for a user then connect with ease. The custom actions and scope actions are awesome.

Cons

Wished they would connect there custom actions to the remote control features for a deeper integration between their products. Also would like to see built in automation instead of having to rely on Windows schedules tasks. Also would be nice to see patch management and windows updates like other remote control tools.

Overall the experience is very pleasant. Support is great and knows what they are doing and it's not outsourced! There are nitpicks here and there like errors being extremely vague or lack there of when things don't work but over all it gets the job done.

Pros

The pure ease of use. There is no guesswork. Want to add a printer, look for a printer. want to map a drive, it's labelled as such. Goverlan takes the guess work out of guess work.

Cons

inconsistency on errors. No network is 100% perfect and DNS will always be DNS. but when there is an error it's damn near impossible to know what glan is trying to tell me.

Pros

Mostly we use the remote control feature and the scripted installs feature.

Recently we have started adding some scheduled tasks into goverlan to take care of some of our weekly file management tasks we have to do.

I have also configured our Goverlan to allow us to remote a users personal computer. We really like this aspect of it.

Cons

Sometimes the display refresh is a bit squirrely. It will tell me there is no monitor connected at times.

Goverlan Reach review

Reviewed on 2021/01/05

Enjoyable.

Enjoyable.

Pros

Any time I've computers or users to report on or act upon, Goverlan Reach simply always seems to be there as a solution. It sometimes seems like there's nothing it can't do! I really enjoy how extensive it is and how much it has helped me in my role as systems administrator.

Cons

There's nothing I dislike about the software as such. I didn't like the way Goverlan Reach just came out and replaced Goverlan Manager. I had created a fair few customised actions that I hoped would've easily came across but they didn't. I was in touch with Goverlan support and they were quick to respond but the options they provided didn't really make sense or help me much. Now, in saying all that - I have to admit that I was probably a little inexperienced and maybe even a bit lazy in how I interpreted their advice. Anyway, it shouldn't be too hard to just recreate the customised actions in Goverlan Reach.

Pros

It is easy to use, things like remote control, editing user information , see what tasks are running on a remote machine.

Information about a specific computer is available as needed, by using system info.
The remote control feature works well when connecting to other computers to fix issues.

Cons

When I remote in and tell the software that I want to use administrator mode, it does not always blank screen or take away the users ability to move the mouse or use keyboard, this can be aggravating when trying to fix issues.

Other than my request above, we have been really happy with Goverlan Reach

Pros

The ability to roll out policies throughout our domain and keep track of where users are logged in at any given time.

Cons

Would really like a way to force the machines to report back system information to your SureDATA database. Instead I have to run a weekly scope on my machine to force them to update their information. If we could do it through Reach then that would be a much better centralized solution rather then depending on my machine being on for the database to get updated somewhat frequently so that we can run reports even and get up-to-date information on systems that are powered off at that time.

As a small distributed business, we use Goverlan Reach to help manage and provide IT support services to distributed users. Goverlan allows administrators to connect remotely and troubleshoot issues, fix/change endpoint configuration, install software and fulfill other related service requests, etc.

Pros

Good value and easy to deploy for small, medium sized enterprises. Has the right size and scale for our organization.

Cons

Ability to program/automate scripts on client to manage configurations is reserved for advanced or premier edition. Basic should provide both rudimentary config/status reporting in addition to remote connectivity so that Admins can monitor (proactively) and maintain distributed endpoints.
