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 …

RemotePC offers a more cost-effective solution compared to TeamViewer, with similar features for remote desktop access. I selected RemotePC because it provides better value for smaller teams or individual users, offering lower pricing tiers and equally robust security measures, …

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 …

TeamViewer has a lot of features (maybe even too many) and feels very overpriced. RemotePC delivers much greater value.

mRemote is well suited if you need to manage multiple types of servers and/or network devices. Instead of opening a dedicated Putty session and having to manage all of the windows, mRemote can handle all of this with different tabs. If you only have a few devices (less than 10), mRemote could be overwhelming for the need and not quite match up with what you are needing.

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

Pros
  • Tabbed Views. Each server remote desktop is viewed in its own separate tab, similar to a web browser. This makes it much quicker and easier to switch between them than using separate windows.
  • Storing credentials. You can configure it with log on credentials for each system, saving time on accessing as you don't need to enter a password each time.
  • Multiple connection types. I use the traditional RDP the most, but mRemoteNG allows many different connection types, similar to Putty.

  • Easy setup, Within minutes of Installation I was up and running
  • Security - OTP 2-Factor authentication, passed security testing.
  • Performance - Though I have not fully pushed the boundary it performs as if I was sitting at my desk at home from an Android tablet in the parking lot of work.
  • Value - We all have taken a gamble when buying a product. This is one of the purchases that I am actually happy with. It is a great value for what you get.

Cons
  • Sadly not seeing much in the way of active development these days.
  • Have had a few issues where the config file has been messed up (so learnging to back that up was key).
  • Interface is functional but not pretty and can be a bit clunky at times.

  • 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.
  • Key combination transfer doesn't work or behaves strange

I still find value in this tool. If I needed to increase computers supported, I would need to revaluate pricing concerns.

Usability
It's very easy to setup and use. The tree structure organizes the multiple connections in a hierarchical manner which makes it easy to browse and the tabbed browsing make it simple to switch between multiple ongoing connections You can even export the list of connections and import it to another setup.

At this point I have no issue with RemotePC's overall usability. It continues to meet my needs for what is required for me to run my business. I would like to see continued improvements with RemotePC's allowing me to continue to work remotely. Waking or starting the computer would be a plus.

Never actually needed to use support so have no idea - honestly it's simple enough to use I'd be surprised if anyone really needs support with it.

mRemoteNG is far more useful than LogMeIn when on the same network, or VPN as the servers, as it allows multiple server screens open in multiple tabs. LogMeIn is much more useful when working out of the office for its ability to connect anywhere, but each system accessed is in a separate window making navigation a little tricky. Sometimes I use them in tandem however, LogMeIn to access a machine in my network, then mRemoteNG to access multiple machines from there!
