Pros

“It is an excellent backup remote utility to my main Remote Access app.”

Rich W.

Executive Director

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 When my outdated SSL VPN device went EOL and I was in need of a way to inexpensively access my office resources when working remotely, I demoed Splashtop and others and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

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

Cons

“On the technical side, reviewers note limited compatibility with Linux devices, which reduces usefulness in Linux-heavy environments, and file transfer speeds that lag behind other remote support tools, slowing workflows.”

Rich W.

Executive Director

“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

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.”
