I've never used another tool for this purpose in the past so I can't compare it to anything else. I know that there are plenty of other tools out there that have this kind of functionality, but it's just not something I'm able to compare as I haven't had the occasion to use …

This is a newer app and with work to do, but doesn't break the bank - especially like TeamViewer which goes up year on year.

Security is a big deal, even more so these days. We needed a remote access tool that we could trust to be secure and constantly evolve to modern standards. VNC Connect came at eh right price for us and provides all the tools we need.

VNC is light and sleek with the quick setup, was impressed with the quick setup despite poor Internet connection outdoor. Teamviewer is good, but the pricing is not as good as VNC. Both do the basic job, but VNC still outperform Teamviewer in terms of performance and ease of use.

Remote desktop - works well but not as easy to initiate

Teamviewer - works well, easy to initiate but more expensive

Chose RealVNC Connect
VNC is much easier to use than any of the listed platforms.

There is no comparison. pcAnywhere was terribly buggy and was never reliable. VNC connect is 99% reliable.

I like VNC over TeamViewer and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. Teamviewer seems slower than VNC and is more expensive. Microsoft RDP takes over the console so users cannot interact in any way.
Chose RealVNC Connect
VNC is way faster and has more features than Chrome Remote Desktop.

I have used TeamViewer and while both are great programs, VNC just seem more minimalist and tuned to doing EXACTLY what I need it to do.

Screen quality compared to others like ScreenConnect, Bomgar, and others is not as good. But I don't need quality screens. I just need the minimal when connecting to servers so RealVNC fits that need very nicely.

It is very easy to use if the remote device is already set up to receive connections, so if you are setting up devices before deploying them, it is a great tool to have. It is well-suited to use when shadowing users or using it as a teaching tool. There are other products that are better if you are trying to help someone on a one-use basis.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Some of the confusion of VNC upon installation is you need to be connected to the internet for it to function. This is not the case, but is unclear upon installation.
  • The licensing model is not ideal for locations that do not use the internet and function off of the grid.

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

VNC is a solid product for the price. It simply works and its reliable across different platforms. Some products state they work well in the Mac environment but don't deliver. This one does what it says. Connections are reliable, but of course, this depends on internet connections. The product works well over wireless connections as well. It delivers on what a remote tool should deliver on. My technicians are happy with the product and customers appreciate the ease of use when letting us connect to their systems. Some also appreciate the remote support while they are multi-task.

Usability
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.

It's a niche product and in that niche they try to cater to as many use cases as they can. Other as a TCO aspect i don't see many use cases where you can't use this product as the one tool for all remote session use cases in your company

VNC Connect is a reliable product that has been around for a long time. It is reasonably priced and works well in the Mac & PC environment. When you have a small team that supports many users we need tools that we can rely upon and that will get the job done on the first try. Many customers appreciate the quick assistance and can multi-task while our team works on their computer issues remotely. From a customer service point of view, this tool gives us transparency and efficient effectiveness.

The training is very informative, quick and to the point. All of the details one would need are present so the user doesn't have to go searching for additional information just to use the application. The layout of the training was also neat and concise, some of the other training sessions for other companies I've done in the past were confusing and not well thought out, this one is much more superior
