What do you like best about CurrentWare?

The CurrentWare platform has four main components sold ala cart or as a suite. The organization I work for has the entire suite of products for all our workstations within three facilities. The platform is easy to set up on an app server or cloud VM. We run CurrentWare locally in VMWare. I have worked several times with the CurrentWare support team for upgrades, troubleshooting issues, and custom setups for our deployment. Their highly knowledgeable support team will do their best to assist you. As the IT Admin, I am in CurrentWare daily to administer the system, run reports, and review the current data displayed in the dashboard. CurrentWare is easy to implement and integrate into your organization and deploy to your client devices (we use a GPO). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CurrentWare?

The only issue or dislike I have had while using CurrentWare was a self-inflicted issue with redirecting clients to a new hosted server. However, the CurrentWare support team was able to assist, and we automated pulling back in most of the client computers without needing to access them directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CurrentWare solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using CurrentWare to assist with compliance to NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC 2.0 Level 2. Under each compliance we are using CurrentWare to meet specific controls for our devices. An example is controlling USB device and what can/cannot be connected to our computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dale S of CurrentWare

What do you like best about CurrentWare?

Over the past several years, we have used CurrentWare (CW) to manage over 150 computers deployed to different locations for a single client. Their requirements for are unique in that these workstations are all independent of each other, as well as the corporate offices. Furthermore, this client preferred to utilize a whitelist only solution, adding websites to the list once they were approved by the corporate staff. Finding a software solution that could be deployed individually, yet managed in a single interface had been a challenge in the past. We tried several different solutions, but it was not until we choose CW that all of our needs were met.

To be completely honest, over the past year we had some issues with connectivity to the remote locations. Some of this was due to a change in Internet providers at our office, and some not. We were on the verge of cancelling our CW service. However, after spending some time talking with our representative, he brought in some of their engineers to discuss and review our setup. What they discovered was that some of the settings in our console were incorrect, and this was causing the intermittent issues we were having. By taking time to listen to our needs, they supported us and took time to explain and train.

As a result of CW helping us “reboot” our setup, we are happily, and effectively managing these computers again. It is important to note that we are only using one of the many tools offered by CW. However, I am hoping to fully integrate the other modules with our client, and future clients, as there are some robust reporting and controls available.

Setting up the software is very simple, and the interface is clean without unnecessary graphics. This allows us to quickly locate the list of computers, and effectively manage them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CurrentWare?

If I have a complaint, it is that sometimes the bottom of the page displaying multiple computers does not fully load. As such it does not show the "next' option. Not a big deal at all, but a minor issue that is fixed by clicking on the list again, or reloading the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CurrentWare solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our basic need was for our client to be able to control the web access for multiple users deployed in remote locations. CurrentWare gives us the tools to manage these, and gives peace of mind to our client as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dale S of CurrentWare

Thank you for your review, Jude! Wonderful to hear that our support team was able to jump in and ensure your success with our products. We look forward to having you try out the rest of the productivity and security tools in the CurrentWare Suite!

Thank you for your review, Yunus! We do not currently have a feature to limit tracking based on IP/MAC address/etc, but I'll make sure the product and success teams know you're interested so they can reach out if we release this feature later.

Depending on your use case, you could use BrowseReporter's Tracking Scheduler or Do Not Track list to limit who is tracked and when.
