Remote control allows you to see and control a device without physical access. We’re talking full control from anywhere — if you can do it in person, you can do it remotely. For example, if you’re trying to replicate an issue, you can recreate the steps to see what happens. You can also use remote control to transfer files to and from the device, record the screen, retrieve logs, and more.
Troubleshooting is the primary use-case for remote control on dedicated devices. Instead of sending someone into the field to fix a buggy device, remote control allows you to do it from the any computer. This increases efficiency, reduces IT costs, and streamlines the troubleshooting process.
Remote control enables a number of critical functions to streamline device management, including:
Remote control is a valuable tool with a number of benefits that can improve the efficiency, productivity, and cost of debugging devices, including:
Increased productivity: Get more done, faster by performing tasks remotely instead of traveling to a device’s location.
Reduced support costs: Since you don’t need physical access to a device you can eliminate the costs of manual intervention like truck rolls and shipping devices.
No costly downtime: Problems happen quickly, and with remote control, solutions can too. Fix issues in real time so your devices get back up and running fast.
Improved user satisfaction: You get the tools and control to solve user issues over the phone in minutes. Who doesn’t love an easy support call?
Historically, remote control required an additional app to supplement your device management tool. With Esper, you can combine device management and remote control under a single umbrella for completely control of your device fleet.
