The extensive coverage of real-time data includes the connectivity, performance and stability of your remote devices, applications and collaboration tools along with an understanding of how the capacity of the network is performing.Identify software that is using up that valuable bandwidth and identify your top talkers with the pack's dashboards, which give a seamless transition from a high-level summary view of activity to deep technical detail.

Direct workforce engagement

Open a 2-way communication channel with your remote workforce to ensure they are fully equipped to work remotely, gather employee sentiment insight about their remote experiences, and keep them up to date with any critical company-wide announcement or technical IT information.

Digital Experience ScoreThe Remote Worker Experience pack Version 6.x and lower relies on the Nexthink Digital Experience pack version 1.X. There are a number of metrics that exist in the dashboards that refer to Scores found in the Digital Experience 1.x Pack.Nexthink has released a Digital Experience pack version 2.0 and, if installed, it is likely that you will then wish to uninstall the existing DEX 1.X scores. This will break a number of the metrics in the Remote Worker pack until they are updated to reference these V2 scores.Use the Update for DEX V2 pack to update your Remote Worker Experience Library Pack to support the new DEX V2 Scores. It will replace some metrics from the Remote Worker Experience pack.Once imported you will not see any change to the metric tree as the metrics replace their older counterparts, however history for the replaced metrics will be lost.

Once the pack is downloaded, please view the configuration document to get the most out of it.
