NoMachine Enterprise Desktop vs. Symantec pcAnywhere (Discontinued)

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.

Synmantec pcAnywhere is excellent when you require a secure remote connection, and you have enough computational power and internet bandwidth.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Multiple connections
• Cross-platform
• Decent UX

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

• Sometimes it is too slow
• Consumes too much bandwidth

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.

[We chose Synamtec pcAnywhere because] its embedded both-direction encryption exceeds the industry requirements.

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

• It allows us to comply with the latest safe browsing requirements.
