Introducing the new addition to NetSupport's Product range - NetSupport Notify.

Building on the success of our market-leading classroom management solution, NetSupport School, and recently updated NetSupport Protect desktop security solution, NetSupport Notify has been produced to deliver a cost-effective, secure and powerful desktop notification and alerting solution for both school and corporate networks.

The philosophy behind NetSupport Notify is quite simple - namely to provide a method for delivering key information (notifications) to all desktop users across a LAN or WAN instantly. The beauty of NetSupport Notify is its ease of use, installation and ability to be deployed across any environment without the need for configuration changes to an existing network.

Cost effective and resiliant enterprise wide notification solutions

"NetSupport Manager works great. I have multiple clinic sites with varying needs, the remote management feature works great. I also on occasion need to send out updates/patches to clients. The package distribution and creation tools make the job much simpler. I also like NetSupport DNA for keeping track of all of my hardware and maintenance/warranty contracts. We just recently setup the DNA Helpdesk module and it is working out great as well. It will be nice to start keeping accurate track of how long specific support tasks are taking and how many of the same kind we get on a regular basis. The solutions section will be nice as well so that employees can fix an issue on their own as long as we provide proper instructions within the solutions section."
IS Manager, Women's Care Physicians & Surgeons

The text of a solution is now saved in HTML format allowing you to have rich text solution documents. File attachments can now be associated with a solution. When adding a solution to a ticket, the search facility will automatically look for solutions based on the ticket type.
  • Escalations - Multiple conditions and actions can now be applied to an escalation rule.
  • The escalation process can now take into account your Helpdesk's working hours and holidays.
  • Ticket Types - The hierarchy now supports multiple levels of Ticket Types.

  • Custom Data - Enhanced custom fields and form options now available.
  • Ticket Search - Commonly used searches can now be saved to the menu.


"The Help Desk functionality has improved our tracking of daily needs and longer-term projects. It provides verification to users and to our IT department of user requests, projects, and our progress on each task. Now there is no doubt of when a request was given to IT and how we responded to it. Internet metering has helped to ensure that employees are focused on work when they should be. The software's capacity to "whitelist" or "blacklist" URLs met our criteria and is easy to configure."
Computer Operations Supervisor, Smilemakers

NetSupport School 9 - PC Pro product review .........RATING:

'Although NetSupport School is aimed at schools, it would be worth serious consideration by any organisation involved in training using networked computers.' Click here to read the full review.

"I have found the NetSupport School program to be a huge help in my teaching practices. Being a teacher that teaches all day and each class being full to capacity, NetSupport School allows me to give quizzes and tests and get them graded instantly. In addition, I can monitor students' progress as they complete each question in an exam.

The survey tool is great too! I find that a lot of times students are reluctant to say aloud that they are having trouble with a topic we are covering. This way, they can be discreet and let me know they need more assistance or they can let me know that I may need to re-teach or review.

I have seen a difference in attitudes as well as grades. It also allows me to look at a student's work and assist them directly. Also, it can be used and projected so that the entire class can view a student's work and assist in the editing process or view an assignment."

"National Camera Exchange uses pc-based cash registers that are - need I say it - mission critical. About fifteen people per day could use each register, each of whom (if past history is any indicator) loves to "adjust" every pc they touch to fit their own idea of the perfect machine. With NetSupport Protect installed, we have had absolutely no problems with our cash registers. None."
