It works pretty consistently across platforms and devices. We use it almost daily. It's really easy to use. I've never needed to contact support or even look up any help online. Transitioning from the free "home" version to the business version was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some features, such as isolating a single display, only work on Windows, not Mac. We used the free version for several years. When that product tier was eliminated we did some product comparison and found that it's a bit more expensive than some competitors. There isn't a tier that's a good fit for us. Ultimately, though, it was the best choice since the learning curve was virtually non-existent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was looking to connect quickly via remote connection from Raspberry Pi to PC and vice versa and this app made it possible quickly and without effort. When I thought I had an issue with the account setup on payment, a friendly agent quickly reassured me and gave me steps to enable the account in time to complete my task.

So far it works well - the switch from trial to pro version could be better streamlined though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use interface, secure connection, and I'm still milking the free plan!
Even the iOS app is Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not as expensive as the other options, so I can't use that as a financial flex.
It doesn't fail like RDP did...twice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to find what I want to connect to. Easy to elevate permissions. Many fewer issues wiht privacy warnings than other remote connect tools. It is very reliable. On demand assist is east for our customers to use, download and run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
people find it confusing to go to a website that is .help and not .com no matter how many times we tell them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slow support, strange mini (short) outages and failed to connect, especially with satellite connection like starlink, slow reconnect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It really works as intended. It allows attended and unattended access to remote computers. It supports multiple target OSes. Response time is great. Lag is unnoticeable granted a good network connection. It allows granular setup locally or by a policy. Knowledge base is really detailed and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing I can thisnk of. I am still to run into an issue after about 25 years of using it. Some features were not available earlier on, but now it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
RealVNC is much more reliable than other remote desktop programs I've tried out. The structure of the program is well thought out, making it easy to select a remote computer to connect to on both mobile and computer devices. I use RealVNC on a daily basis to connect to a number of computers in the research lab I work in. Being able to connect to a computer in a different remotely from my phone allows me to easily integrate systems in different parts of the lab togeather. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few ways in which I think RealVNC could be improved to offer a better experience.
1. Ocassionally the RealVNC server has logged my user out of the account for no clear reason. It is always difficult to figure out that this has happened. It also causes a major headache if I am home when the log out occurs, as I have no way of accessing the computer in person.
2. RealVNC doesn't provide as smooth of an experience as other remote desktop apps, for example the Parsec app. Improving the snappiness of the remote desktop experience would make me enjoy using RealVNC even more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
