Pros

“Transferring files should have a default path automatically go into the downloads folder instead of picking a path manually and vise versa for getting files transferred back to me.”

Leah T.

IT Coordinator

“Allows us to easily connect to machines on our network when we need to offer remote assistance”

John B.

Systems Administrator

“Not too much, the login of the account ( not remote access) is a little bit complicated because of security reason, I guess”

Ark L.

Reseacher

Pros

“Being able to use my office computer remotely allows for better connectivity within my organization and real time access to operations. ”

Robert C.

Treasurer

“I can access my work computer anytime, I can look up what work we have done for this customer and see if their item in under warranty.”

Jane T.

Office Manager

“I do income tax returns and represent clients before the IRS and state tax agencies and being able to do that from any computer, anywhere, is beneficial”

Robert R.

Enrolled Agent

Cons

“Then, at renewal time, I was unable to change my subscription unless I wanted to add on, was concerned about getting over charged but couldn't turn off auto-renew or remove my card or even see what I would be charged until the day before my card was charged, even though I had attempted to contact support multiple times already with no response.”

Patrick R.

Owner, Consultant

“HORRIBLE, no technical support, very poor customer service, cannot depend on the application or their support, other options to choose from, not recommended.”

PAul C.

Owner

“RealVNC Connect can sometimes be detected as a virus by some anti-virus software.”

Yohan S.

Engineer

Cons

“I have had computer providers try to convince me to use other "free" applications that they are just more cumbersome and are always trying to sell you something. ”

Robert C.

Treasurer

“It is not easy to use on my Ipad or phone, and I understand there are limits with smaller screens but nothing beats it from one Remote Desktop to another.”

Courtney H.

President

“I've had some connection issues, but it's usually the result of our office Wi-Fi.”
