Likelihood to Recommend	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 Incentivized Anthony Castellano Controller Read full review	There was one project wherein we wanted the fast result, and the deadline was quick for one day. We used SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE) as a virtual network remotely. We took RDP of that and took connection. The result what we got was too quick like within some hours. We showed the same to our clients and received their appreciation once it went LIVE. Thank you so much team for this. Apart from this I never found this less appropriate Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	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	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 AG Adam Gbk physician Read full review	Connectivity to a helpdesk/knowledgebase would be nice feature so users can do self-help Offering a branded version of the client/agent would be a nice touch for businesses A web-only version of the technician console for remote support would be a nice feature Verified User Anonymous Read full review
