Pros

“Super positive. When my outdated SSL VPN device went EOL and I was in need of a way to inexpensively access my office resources when working remotely, I demoed Splashtop and others and Splashtop just worked! ”

Brad S.

COO

“The software can be configured such as one click remote, set message once in machine and many more.”

Wasek T.

IT Support Supervisor

“You'd get the get same canned answers as if you'd be corresponding with a chatbot more or less expecting this level of support.”

Daniel B.

Director - Technical Support and Implementation

Pros

“I love that I can run it as a portable .exe file (about 5MB) without a full installation, which is perfect for quick, one-off support sessions and it is cross-platforms.”

Olu E.

Compliance Manager

“Overall it is tool for small organizations to have remove desktop troubleshooting and provides support to technical team”

Sim K.

Admin

“We had to delete Anydesk from all the systems after a cybersecurity breach in 2024 and only use it as an absolutely last resort”

Yurii K.

Technical Support Specialist

Cons

“It has become difficult to connect to a remote device (you get the circling, formerly hourglass, image going forever until you close the window and try another 2 to 6 times before connecting or giving up depending on the individual). ”

Daniel B.

Director - Technical Support and Implementation

“Even after shelling out several thousands of dollars management has decided to eat their loss and move to another platform as they were facing a revolt by technicians claiming they would go on sick leave rather than having to use the tool.”

Daniel B.

Director - Technical Support and Implementation

“I came into a team that was using a single Parsec account to manage multiple systems which is not a good place to be in. ”

James L.

Product Manager

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.”
