No wake or power functions?

Hello,

The main advantage of the Wayk Client (or RDM) over the web interface is that you can do a recording on the screen, it is not (yet) supported with the web client. To log to a machine with the client, you can use the name of the machine, if it is known, so it should be possible to connect to a remote machine without too much difficulty. From the web, you can also launch the desktop client if you wish.

The team will add recording at the server level, but we do not have an ETA on this feature.

Best regards,

This is nice to know, but secondary to funtioning as a fast remote access method for clients. It's exeedingly rare that recordings are needed except in desputes from what I've seen. Keeping track of time only is by far more useful and is already included on the web interface.

"Without too much dificulty" is relative my friend. But setting aside the convenience of being able to use a computer name, I don't understand the reluctance to simply having the client reflect the same list available on the wayk bastion web server? maybe I don't understand the product because this fucntion seems so basic and critical to the functionality of the wayk client it's astounding to me that it's not already part of the client. I can't launch the wayk client on my android device and simply select a computer to remote into (for example) same as on the desktop computer. The client seems to just be an unfinished thought without connection to the web product.

Hello,

I had mentioned the recording for the Wayk Client, but there are more functionalities as well: file transfer, remote exec, power options (shutdown, restart, safe mode). In the end, if you prefer using the web client, you can simply use that one, we are just providing as many options as possible.

The main goal of the team currently is the integration with RDM, which means the Wayk client is less relevant. To that end, the Wayk Client is being rewritten in C# (same language as RDM) to simplify everything. As for mobile, we are migrating to using the RDM application instead of the stand-alone client and you can open sessions directly from there. The mobile app will stay as is, and if you want a list of machines, either for mobile or the desktop client, we invite you to use RDM instead.

Funny thing is I have RDM installed on my computer and android devices and have been unable to configure it. I haven't dug deep into it, but It's not a complicated application. I installed the application and then choose a data source. When I look at my list of data sources, wayk bastion is not on the list! I went to the devolutions website to specifically create a devolutions database thinking I might need to establish some sort of connection to my wayk bastion database or something, but nope.

All this aside, I'm wondeing why exactly did devolutions move to a wayk agent/client configuration from the wayk-now product only to be eliminating it again to use RDM? Wayk-Now was a fairly complete product, wayk bastion has yet to be as equally functional and now it's going to be transitioned again to another product that will increase the price substantially?

Hi,

We have indeed shifted our focus toward Remote Desktop Manager integration, but we do not plan on changing the product pricing structure. I feel like you have many questions about where the Wayk Bastion product is going, so I sent you an invite to a lab VM preconfigured with a full Wayk Bastion + Remote Desktop Manager environment for you to take a closer look at it. I also encourage you to watch a recording of this week's Wayk Bastion webinar that should answer all of your questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0F2shIdfLjY
