Chrome Remote Desktop vs GoToMyPC

• Unlike Microsoft's Remote Desktop, this program is the same across platforms, which is helpful for users.
• This program also allows direct control over the desktop (like TeamViewer) and doesn't give you a simulated log on (like Remote Desktop). This is advantageous for seeing exactly what's on the screen but can make it a little laggy.
• The interface is very nice and clear once it's set up. It's obvious which computer is which and it's just a couple of clicks from opening the program to a connection.
• The mobile app is also really really well done.

• Printing files from the remote machine is never so easier which I feel is one of the biggest strength of GoToMyPC
• Even a naive computer user can remotely connecting to another computer using this since no software is needed to be installed. Connection is established just by logging into an account and selecting from a list of desktops available.
• There is a lag which I observe with other software when I connect to multiple computers but this is not the case with GoToMyPC since you can connect to multiple computers without any performance degradation.
• Another superb features is guest access for temporary reasons, where we can invite others to directly access files on our desktop without wasting any time in signups .
• I like the way GoToMyPC brings in transparency by allowing a user to see if another user is logged into a session or not.
• Features like drag-and-drop transfer of files, multi-monitor support are trivial but saves lot of time & our team use that very frequently.

• I like this software in general very much. The only problem is that there are times when the ram consumption of my computer increases too much, for a few seconds. This causes my computer and connection to freeze. It is not completely stable.

• Sometimes the consistency in the connection might lag and create some errors.
• Some issues might be beyond our knowledge, therefore a technician or expert might be needed (rare case)
• If connecting from home, it will take a lot of your data and might slow other devices connections

• Chrome licensing is better priced than MS, so this is positive.
• Utilizing multiple desktops to submit and monitor long-running batch jobs reduces the need for only 1 desktop to submit and admin job scheduling, this is also a positive.
• Patching is a negative, it is too often and too time-consuming.

• Students get a seamless experience that allows trainers or support to manage a remote machine.
• Students don't have to have the software on their machine to participate in a class.
• Trainer setup requires physical contact with a machine, so it takes a bit of time for us to setup the machines to use.
