SONICWALL Virtual Assist For Utm Appliance Up To 1 Concurrent Technician

Easy-To-Use Tool for Remote Support and Remote PC Control
Today, customers receive technical support by phone, email, chat and pre-installed remote support clients—often resulting in a cumbersome, time consuming and frustrating experience. With customer satisfaction being a key business driver for IT and Technical Support departments, employing user-friendly virtual assistance tools is critical for enhancing service levels, improving resolution times and minimizing costs.

In addition, technicians, trusted service providers and employees frequently require virtual access and full control of unattended mission-specific PCs (such as file servers, application servers and database servers) from remote locations in order to provide routine or emergency support, administration or maintenance.

SonicWALL® Virtual Assist is a remote support tool that enables an organization’s technician to assume control of a customer’s PC or laptop for the purpose of providing remote technical assistance. With the customer’s permission, the technician can gain instant access to a computer using a Web browser, making it easy to diagnose and fix a problem remotely without the need for a pre-installed “fat” client.
