Remote Desktop Services Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

1. I like the fact that remote desktop software is far cheaper than the other remote desktop softwares currently in the market.

2. If you are working remotely and supporting clients in Europe, then remote desktop apps are a must due to gdpr regulations which says that a server cannot be hosted in other continents hence you will not be able to work from your local laptop.

3. Quicker than other remote desktops

4. Calls go smoother and there is no echo in the background unlike other apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Takes 3-4 tries to login despite having a very reliable internet

2. You only get 1/10th of bandwidth in remote desktop however it works well in terms of speed. It becomes difficult for those who do not have a strong network (less than 5mbps)

3. Several apps like Teams, sticky notes don't work very well in remote desktop. I have seen Teams has an issue of screenshare where I cannot see others sharing their screen. Sticky notes don't load either.

4. Resolution of 1080px720p isn't enough either. It looks like it's running at 480p

5. Constant disconnections make you run towards the IT Helpdesk team for resolution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use, just insert the destination IP or hostname and, if required, the credentials to access the target system, that's all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

According to my opinion, there are no weakness points to notify Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and control to access remote servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It kind of gets a little wonky with multiple users, but overall it's fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to RDP into my computer giving me access to all my files & programs at the office even when I'm not there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish RDP would support more than just one monitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The native MacOSX application works really well, I'm actually kind of ashamed of being an engineer and using VMware to open a Windows Virtual Machine and using the remote connection feature built into Windows for almost 2 years before knowing that I could use the native MacOSX app that works exactly the same as the Windows application, functionality-wise with the only minor difference of how command and control keys work in the host machine.

My only complaint is that it was kind of hard to find, not widely known unless you purposely look into it in the App Store or a coworker tells you(like it happened to me) since it is a Microsoft Application you don't have to worry to introduce an extra point of security vulnerabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love how our IT guy can take control of our systems and troubleshoot when we need it most. Some of our team is not so technical so this is the perfect solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything right now because it's such a valuable tool for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can control it as if you were physically there as long as you have enough VRAM and a fast internet connection, our main use is to have the servers control the intranet hardware with a 2-factor token and we can connect to them only when inside a VPN with another 2-factor authentication token, there is no such thing as perfect security but you can get very close if you do an onion-like layer authentication. Also, I love that as a bonus you can have the RDP connector directly from Microsoft or in the APP store, convenient and secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really see any downsides, it's a good tool for connecting to remote servers and works exactly as expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Remote Desktop Services promotes security, speed and productivity presented in different departments, because through this tool allows different users belonging to the company to access computers located within the same company through sessions virtues giving our employees the opportunity to work easily without the need to physically attend the company, because also with Remote Desktop Services you can make file transfers to senior managers of the company with specific reports of the activities performed by each employee Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As Remote Desktop Services is a remote management application, one of the main disadvantages is that it does not allow for the availability of several monitors connected simultaneously, which in this case does not allow for a conference where the different departments of the company can participate, thus avoiding a face-to-face meeting for the transfer and analysis of some reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can connect easily from Linux, Windows, and MacOSX to any Windows server, I use the built-in MacOSX application to connect to servers that control client network infrastructure from a VPN to a local area IP and only from there it's possible to connect to Switches, Routers and the rest of the network core. With this design, it's very hard to get in unless you are the authorized user since it's several layers of authentication. Even if a layer is compromised unless all the others are breached too an attack can't break-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conflicting shortcuts but I think this is more a fault of Apple since command = windows some shortcuts are launched to MacOSX host instead of the remote machine, slightly annoying but easily solvable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
