In situations where we didn't need to pass through local disks, we found Awingu to be a good fit. Especially the multiscreen options in an HTML5 browser are pretty unique to them. The extensive options to do MFA are also very user-friendly.

If you need unattended remote access, you will need one of the paid plans, so for a quick always on remote support option, [ShowMyPC] may not be the best suited. If security is an issue and your client's compliance rules won't allow always on remote access, then ShowMyPC is probably the best on-[the]-fly remote access on the market. On demand access is always free and can be done via browser or via a very small client download.

Cons
Parallels
  • Being only/mainly an HTML5 solution some resources can't be passed through (file shares)
  • Publishing apps to local desktops would be nicer if there was a "add to desktop" shortcut.

  • Free level should have automatic reconnect on reboot
  • Being a remote access only software pricing plans could be better
  • Branding should be allowed on lower plans

Awingu has more features in its HTML5 offering, which is the main advantage it has. Parallels RAS also has a local application which gives it some additional features (passing through drives)

ShowMyPC lags behind its competition when it comes to usability and smoothness in operations, its UI on the web is complicated and seems out of place. The high point of this product is its customer service provided through chat support for any issues which is instant. The product also lacks integration with rd party CSPs for file sharing and it does not have a MAC client which works against it.

  • The on-demand access is free - can't get a better ROI than that
  • Plans are relatively inexpensive - as long as you are not managing large amounts of devices
  • Having a go to remote access solution that enables clients to control access is priceless
