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 When my outdated SSL VPN device went EOL and I was in need of a way to inexpensively access my office resources when working remotely, I demoed Splashtop and others and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

“Chrome Remote Desktop is an amazing application designed by Google that allows users to access another device that is connected to the internet. ”

Parker W.

Teacher

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

“I use a lot of CRM tools like different motive, DAT, and realtime monitoring sites for my work and it crashes quiet a bit too often for my liking which is an inconvenience”
