NetSupport School Pros and Cons

I like the fact that you can monitor, freeze & broadcast/share to all computers within a group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When capturing screens you have to do 1 student at a time, so there is no option to screenshot all computers within a group Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the tools available are useful for tracking students' work and for sharing material with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes my computers disappear and I have to add them back Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can capture the screens when I am conducting a lecture or direct instruction. I also use this to model actions on individual screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when we want to use netsupport the program takes too long to load and seems "clunky". Sometimes the students complain that their program is too slow. This might be due to other issues on our network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to control almost all parts of the interface and resources of the student's computer and the ability to distribute large files to many computers. The ability to help students without the need to be right beside then that to the remote control. Support for multi screen desktops is also good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it lags when I try to show my screen to the class, although I think is a hardware problem, no sure yet. The recollection of file could be better since it does not recollect folder, only files. The test generator is not very good. The games and rewards system is solid but it could be better o it could allow the teachers the options to create on of them own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a great tool for us in a classroom environment. We have installed it on teacher computers to monitor and control student lab computers. They're able to launch specific programs on the requested computers as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple monitor support is difficult, students have 2 and I only see 1 in the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am able to block applications and websites. I am able to lock students' keyboards and mice if needed. I can see what students are all doing all at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Net Support does not allow me to block websites on Google Chrome or lock students out of the internet (block internet access) with the Google Chrome web browser for some reason. It works well with internet explorer though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
