Apple Remote Desktop Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

I like the value of the product for the price. There are a lot of features that allow users to have a great experience accessing information from their other devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process was tedious in certain areas and at the time there really wasn't a whole lot of people that I knew that were using it. This forced me to rely on forums and tech support to make sure the product was set up correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the ability to access data from multiple areas. It is nice to use the storage capacity on cumbersome devices and be able to access that storage from a more mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't like how much research I had to do to figure out how to set it all up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apple Remote Desktop is the best way to remotely control a mac (it works with third party VNC viewers and servers), ARD is integrated with Automator to create your own custom workflows and the drag and drop feature is simple and intuitive. You can use it with AES 128 bit encryption too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The updates are rare (no more than 1 per year) and actually not exist an official update/support for MacOS Sierra Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing that I haven't liked yet while using the Apple remote desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best things about Apple Remote Desktop is how you can view and use spotlight to search for files on all of your computers, and then retrieve and download the file to whatever computer you're currently using. I also like how you can customize each computer in the network from just one single computer, and you can also upload files and software to all of your computers from just one.

I have not updated my Apple Remote Desktop in some time so this may not be an issue anymore, but there are times where I think that my computers are running slower because of this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love this software, and use it daily for helping my middle school students on their video projects. It allows me to parachute in and help my students with various editing and computer issues, and it works incredibly well and with great speed an accuracy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish that it worked better over wireless; unless you have a wired network, you really cannot use Remote Desktop effectively. That is my only real complaint about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the latest update a lot of the bugs and errors have been resolved which makes this app once again usable. Apple has really improved this application in the recent updates. It's helpful to have remote control over your desktop from other locations if you have a render farm running. You can continue rendering project files and keep updates on progress without having to check in with your render farm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of efficient iOS support is frustrating. I think this is the sort of service that would thrive with full iOS compatibility. I don't think it would be a very hard feat considering the device you use to remote access doesn't need strong processing power to be able to tap into the computers. It doesn't really require a powerful tool to use the application. Hopefully soon they will add more mobile features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and straightforward for Mac users; if you're already using OSX Server this slots into your network pretty smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a distributed company, it's nowhere near as attractive as cloud-based offerings like Go2MyPC. If you don't have the luxury of running OSX Server for management tasks, it's basically glorified VNC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use and I like that you can easily switch between your Mac interface and the Remote one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since a lot of people do not use it often, it can be difficult to set up to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use. Doesn't bog down the systems. options for different views which works well for users with multiple screens. You can choose full screen to see individual monitors or both at the same time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up is a little tedious. Could use a zoom feature. Sometimes it's tough to read what is on the remote screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
