    Both RemotePC and AnyDesk work well and accomplishes the tasks that require the capabilities of each of the programs. They are very similar in everyway and I think it is a matter of preference to which program the user is more comfortable with and the cost of the programs and …

    RemotePC is remarkably similar to TeamViewer. It uses a similar interface to TeamViewer software. When I first started using it, I thought it was a little slower, but after a month, I noticed it was almost the same. It is stable and does exactly what I need (Internet-based …

    While at the office, I needed documents from my home PC. I was able to use the browser at the office to access my home PC, grab the document and download it. You can also browse the web from work via your home PC, if you know what I mean. Framerates are great, so it felt natural the whole time. Also the app works on Android without any issues

    Cons
    IDrive
    • long waiting time to initiate connection compare to competitors
    • total lack of keyboard translation between macOS - Windows. No keyboard configuration options at all. I don't recommend macOS users, and non-english keyboard layout users.

    At this point I have no issue with RemotePC's overall usability. It continues to meet my needs for what is required for me to run my business. I would like to see continued improvements with RemotePC's allowing me to continue to work remotely. Waking or starting the computer would be a plus.

    Although TeamViewer stands as the top product for remote support, the same goes for its pricing. A small business like ours wouldn't be able to afford software like TeamViewer and we would never be using most of its features. On the other end, Splashtop is an affordable option, but its deployment is a little too complicated. RemotePC was our choice, with an easy deployment process and a pricing program that's easy to understand and within our budget.
