Kasm Workspaces vs. RealVNC Connect

Kasm Workspaces is a good fit for when you need to provide home-based workers access to corporate information or application, but you don't want to provide full network access through a VPN connection. It works well for when you want to ensure that data cannot be taken out of the network or you want to allow non-company devices to be used to access internal resources.

It is very easy to use if the remote device is already set up to receive connections, so if you are setting up devices before deploying them, it is a great tool to have. It is well-suited to use when shadowing users or using it as a teaching tool. There are other products that are better if you are trying to help someone on a one-use basis.

• Access from the web browser without having to install an agent or a VPN.
• Can be used on personal devices since the data is not stored on the device.
• No risk of data loss since the information never leaves the company network.

• VNC Connect does an excellent job in remotely connecting to a computer through either your local area network or even another computer on the internet. As long as the VNC Connect services is installed and the client is running in the background.
• VNC Connect provides password protection to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to remotely access your computer. There's an option to have a separate password to remotely view vs view & access a computer. You can even add an additional level of security by turning on the feature to require Windows login credentials.
• VNC Connect provides an additional set of controls after a remote connection has been established with another computer. You can have special keystrokes like Ctrl+Alt+Del sent as a command sequence to the other computer as well as access more than a single screen when in use at the remote computer location.

• Remote workers had to be familiarized with the browser-in-browser for web applications.

• Its a pretty straight forward product - I would like to see more tools with a "wow" factor.
• Panel colors are blah - I would like more eye-catching colors.
• A more consistent look with all platforms - like Mac & PC.

VNC is a solid product for the price. It simply works and its reliable across different platforms. Some products state they work well in the Mac environment but don't deliver. This one does what it says. Connections are reliable, but of course, this depends on internet connections. The product works well over wireless connections as well. It delivers on what a remote tool should deliver on. My technicians are happy with the product and customers appreciate the ease of use when letting us connect to their systems. Some also appreciate the remote support while they are multi-task.

It's a niche product and in that niche they try to cater to as many use cases as they can. Other as a TCO aspect i don't see many use cases where you can't use this product as the one tool for all remote session use cases in your company

The Kasm support team is always responsive to our questions. They interact with us directly, even as a small customer. They also notify us of software updates and check in on our usage of the software.

VNC Connect is a reliable product that has been around for a long time. It is reasonably priced and works well in the Mac & PC environment. When you have a small team that supports many users we need tools that we can rely upon and that will get the job done on the first try. Many customers appreciate the quick assistance and can multi-task while our team works on their computer issues remotely. From a customer service point of view, this tool gives us transparency and efficient effectiveness.

The training is very informative, quick and to the point. All of the details one would need are present so the user doesn't have to go searching for additional information just to use the application. The layout of the training was also neat and concise, some of the other training sessions for other companies I've done in the past were confusing and not well thought out, this one is much more superior

No problem at all, love the product.

Kasm is alot more cost effective than Citrix or VMWare. We wanted an on-premise solution to provide remote access to our internal network resources. The Citrix and VMware solutions require significantly more hardware to run, since Kasm runs on a Linux server as containers and each of the images run as a small container. The licenses were significantly less expensive for Kasm too.

VNC is light and sleek with the quick setup, was impressed with the quick setup despite poor Internet connection outdoor. TeamViewer is good, but the pricing is not as good as VNC. Both do the basic job, but VNC still outperform TeamViewer in terms of performance and ease of use.

• Increased productivity by enabling a remote workforce.

• I have just used the software for about 1 month and so far so god. I am saving time whenever I can access my client's computers from my desk as opposed to having to leave my office to go to their offices. Saves me time and the client money.
