About

Traditional remote access tools like VPNs (Virtual Private Network) can introduce complexity, performance issues, and security gaps. Devolutions Gateway offers a safer alternative: lightweight, memory-safe tunnels that open only when needed. Whether you're managing external contractors or remote IT teams, sessions are relayed securely without exposing backend servers. Gateway supports RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), SSH (Secure Shell), VNC (Virtual Network Computing), PowerShell, and more—all brokered through just-in-time (JIT) access using pre-authorized tokens. The Remote Access Management package adds everything needed: Devolutions Launcher for one-click access, Hub or Server for storing and controlling credentials, and role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure each user sees only what they’re authorized. Every action is logged. Together, they replace VPNs with an auditable, fast, and flexible access model - ideal for organizations that prioritize security and ease of use.

About

HelpWire is remote access software for IT teams and technicians providing support across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Sessions start through a link: the remote user joins without creating an account or entering credentials, which reduces the coordination overhead. HelpWire sessions rely on direct peer-to-peer connections whenever possible, with relay fallback as a backup. For follow-up, unattended access lets technicians return to a device later without the remote user present, including after reboots. – No sign-up for the remote user – Reboot & reconnect – UAC elevation support – File transfer – Wayland support on Linux – Concurrent sessions – Multi-screen view – Two-factor authentication (2FA) – Firewall-friendly connections

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's been stable, direct connections most of the time, and when a network won't allow that it just falls back and keeps working instead of failing outright. Working across our Windows and Mac machines has been good too.
  • HelpWire has truly impressed me with their excellent service. Their platform is straightforward and user-friendly, which made managing my tasks easy. The highlight, however, was their customer support: quick, attentive, and effective. They addressed my concerns with precision and made the entire process smooth. For anyone in need of reliable and efficient assistance, HelpWire is the way to go. Thanks for the outstanding support and seamless experience!

User-Friendly Interface: The intuitive design of the tool allows for quick initiation of support sessions, which is particularly useful when helping less tech-savvy clients. Strong Security Measures: The use of TLS/SSL protocols and AES-256 encryption ensures secure data transmission, protecting sensitive information during remote sessions.

Cons

  • Only real gap for us is no session recording. Still, for a support tool it does exactly what it says on the tin.
  • There is nothing much to mention about HelpWire application.
  • Sometime lag problems are bit annoying but it not effect much in you work
  • Occasional Performance Lags: There are sometimes performance lags during peak periods, which can hinder the support experience. Potential Learning Curve for New Users: While the interface is user-friendly, there may still be a learning curve for new users unfamiliar with remote support tools. Cost Considerations: Depending on the pricing structure, the cost of using HelpWire might be a concern for smaller teams or businesses with limited budgets. Dependence on Internet Stability: Like any remote support tool, HelpWire's performance can be affected by the quality and stability of the internet connection. Limited Customization Options: Users seeking specific customization features might find HelpWire's options limited compared to some other remote support tools.
  • There isn't much of it, but occasionally lag problems can be noticed.
