Pros

“Seamless and uninterrupted screen sharing along with remote control capabilities, even when operating on lower bandwidth or slower internet connections.”

Ahammad M.

RESERVATION STAFF

“The high frame rates provide a seamless, near-zero latency experience that feels as fluid as working directly on the machine.”

Marquita V.

SALE MANAGER

“For longer remote sessions, the experience can depend quite a bit on the network connection, particularly when working with a screen that requires frequent interaction.”

Rashad G.

Geomechanicist

Pros

“File transfers use a simple copy/paste method, which is fine. But, I'd prefer a file manager-like interface similar to other remote control apps I've used.”

Ed J.

CEO

“Adding a client workstation is secure and very simple thanks to a simple link sent by email, for e.g, which makes support easier.”

Eric G.

Adminstrator

“I like the fact you can do a file transfers just by dragging a file between windows on the remote and local computers.”

Paul D.

Owner

Cons

“The security prompts can be confusing for people who aren’t used to remote‑access tools, and occasionally the app asks for permissions in a way that feels repetitive or annoying.”

Parker W.

Teacher

“Sometimes the connection can get a little laggy depending on the device or network, and a few features feel tucked away or not as clear as they could be.”

Parker W.

Teacher

“It's an amazing software but maybe a few issues is that sometimes I found it lagging a bit, could be my WiFi of course but it happens that I have to close and re open the program to let it work properly.”

Chiara L.

Law

Cons

“Lack of Headless support for Linux servers”

Marc L.

owner

“However, there are some facts which point out to the basic functionality of the product. While this product has its own advantages and disadvantages, the most crucial part of it is the delayed buffering which makes the user go nuts and not get a satisfies and relevant outcome.”
