RealVNC was the godfather of Remote connectivity, but security was a concern as well as performance. I will have to admit it has been several years since I have used RealVNC

I was tired of dealing with the free 1 minute algorithm lockup, even when I wasn't a business. I prefer to pay something (a lot less) that I ended up discovering is even easier to use and better than them

RemotePC is remarkably similar to TeamViewer. It uses a similar interface to TeamViewer software. When I first started using it, I thought it was a little slower, but after a month, I noticed it was almost the same. It is stable and does exactly what I need (Internet-based …

There is no comparison between our old system and RemotePC. I went with RemotePC so that we would have access to any remote system, from any platform, regardless of where I was. Be that my own laptop, my home workstation or even my smartphone. In a pinch I could even stop at …

BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access is well suited to grand monitored privileged access to resources. It works in a proxy mode so end-users don't have direct access to servers. This can help prevent attacks on servers from users' machines since all the traffic to the servers goes through the Privileged Remote Access server which performs auth according to the policies. In cases where direct access to the servers/service from the end-user's machine is required, it is a little bit complicated to set up that kind of connection using protocol tunneling.

Being able to use my office computer from any other computer with the RemotePC software seamlessly. Having the ability to control and access software and hardware just like working from my office computer. On the other side, the printing capabilities can be improved to allow for better remote printing. Otherwise the system works very well

  • Easy setup, Within minutes of Installation I was up and running

  • long waiting time to initiate connection compare to competitors
  • total lack of keyboard translation between macOS - Windows. No keyboard configuration options at all. I don't recommend macOS users, and non-english keyboard layout users.
