Getscreen.me vs. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan)

It's well suited for IT employees who want to have an easy way to connect to other empoyees or customers. the quck conenct functionallity is easy to use and setup. Unfortunitly in germany some customers got slow internet and the performance from getscreen.me is not so great compaired to other remote desktop software.

It is a useful tool and definitely beats other alternatives and options. There is always room for improvement however which is why I gave a rating of 8. From a core function perspective Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager is definitely what you want but down the line I think certainly some bells and whistles would be nice.

• One thing it does well is being able to deploy it quickly and easily. It takes very little space to install the actual program and also installs quickly. Once installed, it is relatively to start creating groups and adding servers/machines, without users needing to be trained in how to do this, or consulting the documentation.
• Another thing it does well is having an easy to use layout within the Microsoft Remote Connection Manager (RDCMan) window. There is a tree directory structure, showing groups, and corresponding servers/machines. There are also thumbnails of servers/machines that are displayed. This helps IT, Administrators, to see what is connected and what is not, along with understanding what is on the actual screen of the live server/machine in realtime.

• On a mac, better ability to trigger a hidden dock
• Certain key commands don't work and only trigger the computer you're actually on, not the remote one.
• Make it a little less IT focused and a bit more layman friendly with some naming and features.

Incentivized

• You can't drag and drop files between local and remote sessions—something many modern RDP tools allow, and it saves a ton of clicks.
• You can export settings, but not as CSV or something readable/editable outside RDCMan. Makes documentation or sharing config info harder.
• Hovering over minimized or background sessions shows nothing—no live thumbnail or last screen capture like some tools do.

Value for money - Getscreen.me stands above the rest!

For what we need it to do, it just works. And I'm sure that we're not even using it to the full extent of what it's capable and designed to do. If we had the need, Getscreen.me has many more features that we could implement. If the need arises in the future, it's great knowing that we already have a tool to utilize.

As alluded to in previous responses it is a very functional tool. It allows me to do my job quickly and efficiently every single day. There are little to no issues using the connection on a day to day basis. It handles everything you need from a remote connection perspective.

When I did reach out at the early days of using Getscreen.me I got a pretty prompt response, and all of my questions were answered. Since then, I have never needed to contact support. This is a GOOD thing!

Plenty of information and support online, and with many things it's pretty straight forward for the average tech to navigate and work with. But with most things online you're not the only person that's had the issue before, and using a search engine you should be able to figure it out.

Easy, fast and worked every time to date!

While TeamViewer is a more mature/developed product. TeamViewer has more features and the interface is very similar but TeamViewer feels better. While TeamViewer currently takes the lead by a small margin for us, Getscreen.me is a very capable application for our needs. For the price/performance we prefer Getscreen.me.

The Avanti Software needed alot of attention if you are new to such tools. So for that reason we chose Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Manager because of the more user friendly use of it. Also because it integrades great with windows and the remote servers we have. Thats also why we dont use TeamViewer either.

• Cheap cost - I got it on Appsumo with no monthly fee.
• The freedom to solve issues for transport companies given the high amount of data and control.
• It works 100% of the time. There's never been any downtime from experience.

• I can troubleshoot application errors faster for clients.
• While troubleshooting, I spend less time fumbling to find credentials and other machine-specific settings.
• Being able to connect to the same machines from multiple devices helps me when I'm not in the office.
