Works Well, Great Support

The system works very well. Features like being able to provide a custom block screen are great. Being able to rename the system from the actual PC name helps to better identify the system in the admin interface. You can create a custom installer for client systems. It's easy to update the client settings, and to import settings from an existing client to a new one.

PROS

The software is easy to distribute to client systems.

CONS

The administrative software can be slow and a little bit cumbersome. The list of systems is missing a search or an easy way to filter the full list of installed systems. This may have changed with the newer web based interface.

Reasons for switching to BrowseControl

Price was a large part of making the switch. BrowseControl is very reasonably priced. The software works for its intended purpose. The staff is very responsive and friendly.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review, Ethan! I'm happy to report that the new web console includes a PC/User search function to make management easier. Feel free to check out the live demo to see the search function in action: https://www.currentware.com/demo/

Very Glad We Found BrowseControl

Since going live with BrowseControl, the number of requests that have come in about the "blocking" software not working has decreased dramatically. Before, it was almost a daily issue, and now it happens every now and then. This is fixed by restarting the Client Service.

PROS

BrowseControl is very simple to setup, and it is very easy to install on the client's computer. Also, the ongoing administration of the devices is easy to maintain.

CONS

The password keeps getting reset to the default value on our client's computers. This is a little concerning overall, but this is not a threat with our current client base.

Reasons for switching to BrowseControl

WebTitan kept blocking our client's computers due to the fact that it could not remote update when the local IP address changed. This occurred despite the fact that they market the product as being able to do so.

Vendor Response

Hey Jude, Thanks for the great feedback! We appreciate it. Regards, The CurrentWare Team
