-Always changing and adapting to newest technologies on the market. -Keeps our students on track. -Gives our teachers eyes all around the room.
CONSThere is a small learning curve on non-windows devices. Andriod and iOS devices have fewer features.

A great application for k12 or higher education to remote view, monitor, and assist users
NetSupport is a versatile and user-friendly platform that enhances teaching through effective remote control, screen sharing, and real-time demonstrations.
PROSEasy to deploy, super intuitive so that our faculty can typically use without training.
CONSThe only negative to Netsupport is the cost of the product. Its quite expensive to maintain maintenance each year.
Reason for choosing NetSupport School
Easy of use for end users to learn, easy to deploy, works across VLANs, feature suite was a great fit for our usecase.

NetSuportSchool Gets It!
I have been very satisfied with the software. The support has also been very responsive and helpful. In the few technical issues I've had, I haven't had to request elevating my support requests to get answers. The person I first contact usually solves my issue. I'm not sure what more you can expect than great software with great support.
PROSNSS seems as if it was designed by a teacher for teachers. The feature set is extensive and useful. Teachers have complete control of the student screens and can get the students attention by sending messages, sending her screen, or simply blanking all the screens. Although I don't use all the features, the ones I do use are very impressive.
CONSThere is very little I dislike, but when Exhibiting the teacher screen to demonstrate to the class (which by the way is very effective), stopping the exhibition is a little difficult to figure out. You have to click the hidden cons arrow on the lower right part of the Windows taskbar and right click the NSS button to end the show. Once you figure it out, it's not bad. It just seems that it could be better located.
Reason for choosing NetSupport School
I had to answer "yes" and "no" for the following reason. We used NSS for years but went to Securly to deal with our new Chromebooks and web monitoring. We couldn't afford both so discontinued NSS. After one year, we went back to NSS for our desktop lab environment because it just works so well there. My understanding is that they now have (maybe they did before) Chromebook support which we will be looking into.

NetSupport School is a great software to use in conference rooms.
Many participants bring their own laptops to the meeting. In this case, we must install NetSupport School student module in a very short period of time. It is very simple to install within a minute, and it is convenient just because all the meeting organizer and the participants have to do is enter the same room.
PROSNetSupport School is very convenient for conference organizer to share his/her screen with other attendees when he/she presents, and when a student shares his/her screen with other participants. I have never seen software that is so easy, simple, and performs these functions with the exception of NetSupport School.
CONSThere was nothing particularly bad about NetSupport School.

A great product for disability support offices that manage testing for students.
We have been using it in disability support service testing for years and it works very well.
PROSWe use Netsupport School products. Their Tutor and Tech Console do wonders for our testing staff. I cannot recommend that platform enough. It makes the entire monitoring process seamless and easy to manage from the console(s).
CONSThere is not much that is poor about this product. If I had to be picky, I would like for there to be a way to block in-application internet access. For example, when using MS Word, if students look up words, it provides access to internet-based content (or at least it did).

Communication with students in classes.
Stimulating because with this application I can do my classes in a dynamic and more creative way, making the students participate with enthusiasm.
PROSThis software facilitates the development of the classes because I can review what students do, answer their questions and evaluate them from the main computer.
CONSWhat causes me the inconveniences of this software is that when we activate the chat, sometimes unexpectedly it diverts the students from the room.

NetSupport School Review
The thing I like most about NetSupport School is that it fills a cost effective need for us to manage what students in computer labs have access to.
CONSThe thing I like least about NetSupport School is that we do have occasional issues with computers not showing up in the list on the teacher console. Sometimes we have to restart the computer to get it to show up again.

Ability to keep students focused in the classroom greatly assists with the needs of the students and helps me in the classroom.
CONSInstall without a domain is a little tricky. Had some issues trying to install the software while not on a domain. Took a little bit of configuring but finally found the right way to do it.

My experience had been great, 69 stations on my campus.
As mentioned above, we have loved this product and saved many soles of our shoes. It took us some time to get everything worked out, but we finally had a conference, found out what we were doing wrong, and since then it has been a lifesaver. We do around 24,000 exams a year and this has allowed us so much more freedom of our time that words can't expess it. We had tried several other brands, with very little good fortune, and decided to give this at least a try. Much to our surprise, we now use it every day, all day and have our complete staff, even part-time involved. I must mention the service we get. One call, should they not be available, they return the call very promptly, showing concern and a willingness to do whatever it takes to get you the answers you need. This comes from both ends, your rep and the I.T. department. In closing I must stay that I would recommend this to anyone that has the need for proctoring exams, and after looking it over many times, I see how it could also help in classrooms, as well. We hope to expand in the future and willdefinitely be looking for more NetSupport to grow with us as we do. Thank you to all of the staff at NetSupport for a great product and the constant updates.

Great product for Teachers and the Technicians who support them
The teachers love this program for several reasons - they can see what their students are doing, they can block the internet from one to all of the computers in their class to keep the students on task and they can blank out the screens when the teacher is giving instructions. The screen sharing feature is great as well. There are a lot of other features in this software that are great, these are just the ones that our teachers use most. This program is easy to deploy and install, and I love the 'Tech Console' where I can work remotely on the machines. Our teachers have laptops, and our wireless is a different subnet of our wired network, so that does take a bit more configuration (manually adding the subnets to scan for computers) to get the laptop to recognize the wired pcs. It would be nice if it would just use DNS lookup rather than by IP range/broadcasting. I have tried using their Connectivity Server, but could never get it working properly. While I haven't needed to use customer service very much, the few times that I did contact them, they were quick to help and resolve my issues.

Awesome software!!!
I have been using this product for many years and have trained numerous faculty and staff on this software. I like the fact that it is very user friendly and has become more user friendly throughout the years. It does a great job in enabling what I want it to do (restrict websites, mass logon and logoff, aids in software upgrades). If I get stuck, Customer Service is very prompt and can easily explain what needs to be done to help you troubleshoot the issues. My only con is I wish it was easier to update to a newer version when it's released. It would be great if you launched the product, do a "check for updates" and it will automatically find the update and install within the software. Otherwise, it came be too time consuming re-downloading the update from the website, entering your information every time, then launching it to the entire room. At my setup, we have 7 rooms with Net Support School installed. It would be great if a few steps were taken out in the updating process. Aside from that, it has proven to be very useful in our environment.

Very pleased with this application. It has been an experience of quality, novelty and variety
It allows me to manage the classroom from my computer, since I can see students' screens in real time, supervise their work, help them with their activities, and control them to avoid dispersion.
CONSThe restriction of communication because it depends on a local network, because sometimes that limits the classes.

Powerful Software at an Exceptional Price
NetSupport provides a great solution for using technology within the classroom. Classroom management is essential and NetSupport allows our teachers to have full control of their computers. Listed below are the pros and cons of using and supporting NetSupport. Pros: Monitor student activity and control website access Connect and control computers Turn on/off computers Enable/disable keyboard, mouse, screen Message individual students Excellent customer service and support Cons: NetSupport 11 upgrade changed to a more difficult to use interface. Initially overwhelming with amount of options displayed on the start screen. Suggestions: Would like to have district training workshops offered by NetSupport for teachers.
