Chrome Remote Desktop vs N-able Take Control

• 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.

• The session can be seen on the screen of the workstation. Could be a privacy issue. It DOESN'T work like traditional RDP, much closer to a screen sharing support session.
• There is no built in File Transfer. Its not a deal breaker, but definitely an annoyance.
