NoMachine Enterprise Desktop vs. Oracle Secure Global Desktop

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.

I believe Oracle Secure Global Desktop is better used on a larger device such as a desktop or laptop, as the Android platform is a bit confusing when initially introduced to fellow employees who were familiar with the other layout.

• Secure connection
• Fast response over internet
• Really look like you are sitting in front of the machine you are connecting.

Incentivized

• Very secure.
• Simple layout that is easily understood by different levels of experience.
• My company works with Linux and Windows - Oracle Secure Global Desktop easily operates on both platforms.

Incentivized

• 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

• Is not supported on Apple devices.
• Support on Android - the functionality feels flimsy and the layout isn't as user friendly as I thought it would be in comparison to when it is used on a desktop platform.
• Initially, when first using the product a year or so ago, I received a lot of complaints of random error messages. Though that problem seems to have been solved in the interim.

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

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.

Tarantella gave us a lot of issues, but with Oracle Secure Global Desktop [we got] the huge portfolio of Oracle applications from almost any browser, without the headache of application dependencies, plugins, java etc. My fellow employees like the way Oracle Secure Global Desktop gives us the "feel" of many little desktops but with one machine.

Incentivized

• 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

• Efficiency is definitely a good description. The easy to use platform allows fellow employees to move through their online apps with ease.
• Applying new online apps is a lot easier, as we do not have to rely on a central server to pull information.
• As our client is national, it's good to have quick, reliable cloud access to all sensitive materials without worrying about security issues.
