User Testimonials
	Apache Guacamole	NoMachine Enterprise Desktop
Likelihood to Recommend	Apache Limitations are only the effort you want to have to configure it (correctly). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine If you just want to connect to the server and do work (like Linux server-workstation type), NoMachine Enterprise Desktop is great, except for the keyboard mapping issue, which you have to correct in a setup of the remote server (almost) every time you log on. The graphics are smooth and fast. Overall response speed is very good, too. I like it. Incentivized Takao Sakaguchi Staff physicist Read full review
Pros	Apache Remote connect to Linux OS Remote connect to Windows OS Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine Secure connection Fast response over internet Really look like you are sitting in front of the machine you are connecting. Incentivized Takao Sakaguchi Staff physicist Read full review
Cons	Apache We have experienced some stability problems (mostly Tomcat related). The interface could be a little more user-friendly. Certain keyboard shortcuts used by Guacamole GUI are impossible to use in the Firefox browser in out-of-the-box configuration. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine Keyboard mapping between client and host is often screwed up. Cut and paste between client and host is not convenient Would be nice if there was a function of simple file transfer between client and host Incentivized Takao Sakaguchi Staff physicist Read full review
Usability	Apache it's easy Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Apache No answers on this topic	NoMachine I haven't consulted with customer support, so I don't have an opinion. However, from the usefulness of the product, I think the support is also good Incentivized Takao Sakaguchi Staff physicist Read full review
Implementation Rating	Apache It's easy and free of use, therefore perfect for quick implementations when needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Apache We have successfully used noVNC for remote access. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine Again, the NoMachine is a real virtual terminal, and you don't need to install another Linux on your machine to fully exploit the X-terminal function. This makes the disk and memory usage of the client minimum. No issue on the screen. It is really good. Incentivized Takao Sakaguchi Staff physicist Read full review
Return on Investment	Apache The software is 100% open source and free, however, we are not currently utilizing it due to stability problems we have experienced. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	NoMachine It makes the access to server much easier and convenient Connection is very stable, which makes works very efficient I don't need to reboot my Windows PC to switch to Linux in order to fully exploit the working environment of the server. No negative impact Incentivized Takao Sakaguchi Staff physicist Read full review
