Apple Remote Desktop Reviews & Product Details - Page 5

I really enjoy the Scanner (lists that automatically refresh it's client database to provide up to date information) as well as the drag and drop support to share files between host and client, which is usually not possible via the plain VNC protocol. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That Apple kind of nectagled the development and the last update is almost one and a half year ago. It was such a great tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of setup, connecting to other machines and transfer of files including clipboard content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Somewhat not so easy to work with non mac os remotes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to run UNIX scripts on a remote machine without user interaction needed. Can also remote in using "curtain" so that users can't see what you are doing when working on a machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could be a little bit more graphically user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that i can connect and manage my connections. It displays everything in detail, everything from Tasks to History.

With its side availability tools, i can monitor my active task and run reports.

Collect data and update when i need it.

I have used this for personal and business, and i can say its always reliable. I like to use the install feature to get programs going where i need them to install. Transferring data is easy.

Some of the basic feature like copy, install and search is nice to have but what i like is the UNIX command.

The programmer, thats a big plus for me ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more features. nothing overpowering but something that might justify the price.

only once, i encountered where i was using a heavy program like VS and DW. It tends to conflict with my screen and i had to close my session. I can't blame it was Apple Remote Desktop but the issue never happened again. Like i said, no real issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use many Macs on our network and need a way to manage them all, which is why we purchased Remote Desktop. We use it primarily for two things, which are my favorite features. First, the automater is excellent and saves us a lot of time. It allows us to automate administrative tasks on the network so we don't have to manually do them each time saving us many hours of labor. I also love the spotlight search which lets you search across all the computers on the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there is lag time to access computers on the network. This depends on internet speed, of course, but even with fast internet, it can still be laggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like that I can get into my Windows native work environment while on my Mac at home, without installing or simulating an instance of Windows. Apple RD works seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Apple short keys in a Windows environment in general, no fault of the software. I installed a Windows USB keyboard at home to resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apple Remote Desktop makes accessing apple servers and computers fast and easy.

It has minimal lag and always feels smooth.

Easy to access remote machines through finder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that it could support other protocols. it would be nice to connect to a windows PC without installing VNC or Remote Desktop Client on my Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use remote desktop to run updates on the hundreds of Apple computers we use district wide. Not only that, but we use it to access our server remotely in our offices and manage all of our technology. In the computer lab, it is a great resource to view what students are doing and to lock their computers so they can focus on the demonstration at hand. We would be at a huge loss without Remote Desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After updating OS we sometimes run into issues connecting and need to manually make adjustments before we can take full advantage of the software. Also, with updates, many of our scripts need to be changed, which is time consuming and sometimes prevents us from updating to the latest and greatest. All of these, still, would not prevent us from purchasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Apple Remote Desktop is hands down the best way to manage, audit and control an OS X environment. New OS X devices just 'appear' when they are connected to the network and can be instantly added to to the inventory. From there on out it is simplicity personified, new software can be pushed, updates applied and assistance provided to the user pretty much at the click of a mouse.

It would be great if Apple would extend Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) to be cross platform so that Windows machines could also be managed by this fantastic product. Microsoft Remote desktop lacks so much of the functionality that ARD has, without the addition of other software, that integration would be phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I maintain a lab of about fifteen post production suites. Being able to remote into them and fix technical issues makes my job easier and has increased our productivity by a substantial margin. It's a great tool to have in my pocket whenever there is an emergency and I am offsite. Being able to fix these problems without having to come into the office during those times decreases a lot of my stress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VPN could use some work. Occasionally there are issues with IP addresses, but they often stem from our own Network. I wish the reason why a connection wasn't happening between ARD and a stalled IP address was stated more clearly in the diagnostics, as it would help us track down the issue more quickly.
