During the pandemic, our company worked remotely. Various staff in our company had technical difficulties or needed assistance installing software in order to work. DeskRoll Remote Desktop helped us to make this process seamless. Rather than deal with the aggravation of trying to walk someone through something over the phone, we were able to get things established in a simple, easy way.

Cons
AnyDesk Software
  • we should be able to connect from windows to iphone or ipad, it is now possible to connect to ipad or iphone. AnyDesk can work on this.
  • the field where we enter remote address should be more visible. New user cannot find where to enter the remote address that takes some time to connect. AnyDesk should change the placement of it.
  • If we can change the colour theme of the UI that will be an addon thing. when you daily use AnyDesk you get bored of the same UI.
  • Just like a Xmax UI. Any desk should constantly change somethings which makes the UI visually appealing.

Usability
AnyDesk Software
Considering the overall experience compared to other products, I find this to be very user-friendly, lighter to use, and accessible to individuals who are not familiar with computers. Data transfer is quicker and easier. There is no need to train people to use this. It can be done with a few instructions over the phone.

I didn't have any technical problems and I didn't suffer from bugs or errors. Customer service has improved a lot and I no longer need to leave the office to go to the user's computer. With AnyDesk I install and remove programs, printers, scanners, settings in general. Screen sharing is excellent and without delays. Overall, I recommend and approve AnyDesk.

Getscreen.me connects remotely directly from your browser, it's very convenient - no need to explain to customers what and how to install. Also, it has a very user-friendly interface. They also have all the necessary features for remote access (file sharing, WoL, black screen, session recording) and are significantly cheaper.
