It's handy for smaller to larger units, where time management is most important. But it will not suitable for those who have partial units across the country.

My remote work often involves being in a remote session for at least an hour. It is excellent for these long sessions as it rarely disconnects while using the app. Other similar programs are expensive and often offer way more options than I need. This is a simple and easy to use app. I can also use it while out of the office and on the road.

Pros
NetSupport
  • It's a robust corporate remote support tool for admin.
  • Admin can deploy an installation in the background without knowing a client.
  • For those who frequently forget their password, you can access it in glimpse & take total control of it.

  • Connection speed. Users have reported very little latency (and I have verified this myself administering a work server from home).
  • Support. The sales and technical support departments at Splashtop have been extremely helpful and very quick to respond to inquiries or requests. Samuel Frescas and Aaron Changeur both are excellent to work with and go above and beyond to assist.
  • Ease of setup. Installation consists of two pieces of software installed on applicable devices (device remoting from and device remoting to). Users are invited by email, create their own accounts, and can then be assigned to their individual laptop and desktop workstations. Setup for each user was able to be completed within the span of 15 minutes, from account creation to remoting into their workstation.
  • Account management. Admins have comprehensive control over users and endpoints. All aspects of this are configurable and straightforward.

Cons
NetSupport
  • The only cons are that it's hard to access other networks besides the internal one of the organization like how TeamViewer works.

  • When a remote system goes offline it takes a minute or more for the status to show in the application's list of computers.
  • The configuration options for the remote access are numerous and sometimes hard to understand. Sometimes it's hard to find an option.

I believe that I will renew Splashtop without any problems in the coming years as eating stable costs without increases even in critical periods such as the Covid virus, Splashtop allows access to 25 unattended stations and has continuous updates and new features. It also allows resale to users with sub-accounts

I've never had any issues with it, nor any connectivity issues. They always say when they'll be maintaining the system and it's always in the odd hours, so nobody uses then. But I've never had any issues.

Pages and servers load fast, normal speed. It doesn't lag or anything like that. I don't integrate it with anything else.

Tickets lingered in the support queue. Our environment is complex and some solutions never work in it but inconsistency and long turn around time on seemingly simple support issues force our pursuit of alternative solutions. Our environment is atypical and should not be used as a litmus test for solutions however we found the support issues were more wide spread with other orgs voicing the same delays.

It couldn't have been any easier to setup and I have had no issues with it since it was implemented. It's a great product and makes remotely connecting to another device so simple and quick. I can't recommend it enough

I think if you are using it after its tutorial then you may not need any other apps to control the operation. Its file transfer, voice & text sharing features are truly working. A complete system of inventory where you can set smart alerts. Capable to connect multiple users at once.

Splashtop Business Enterprise is actually easier to implement and get it up and running, all users have to do is download the standard or personalize file and run it, then share the code with you and you are all set to go, i like it because you can even do it from your phone if necessary

  • Allows my boss to facilitate workshops on Google Meet for her one client. She has two use 2 monitors for this and struggles setting up the slides and participants because she is older. So, it allows her to participate in these virtual workshops and make it easier for her to participate in.
  • Our team all work remotely, so I can access my boss's laptop to find files she may have on her computer and forgot to store on our shared database. Saving time and frustration for all.
  • I can access my boss's laptop to work on her computer (i.e. organize or delete files) and she doesn't even have to be there. She just leaves her computer on/open, and I can access whenever I choose without having to schedule with her or have her sitting there. She can do other activities, and we don't have to abide by each other's time constraints/schedules.
