RemotePC - Worth Every Cent.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the office, we use RemotePC. We have days when we work from home on our own computers, but there are also times when programs we need to access are only available on computers at the office. Personally, I have a Mac computer, and use a program that only works on Windows-based computers. I can log in from home or the office, use the Windows-based program, and access it on my Mac via RemotePC. If I am out of the office, I can remote into my office computer and print documents the office may need, or my clients might need, without being at the actual office.

Pros

  • Connectivity is extremely useful.
  • Fast and reliable.
  • Easy to use.

Cons

  • I wish there was a way to copy and paste from one computer to another.

Return on Investment

  • I can use my Mac, which I am very familiar with and holds all my files, and also access a program integral to my business on a Windows-based computer through RemotePC.
  • I can go back and forth through Mac iOS and Windows easily.

Going back to competitors after 2 weeks

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use RemotePC on MacOS to reach my Windows computer at the office. Me and my wife use medical software which runs only on Windows. I previously used TeamViewer and AnyDesk, but tried RemotePC due to much lower price. After 2 weeks I know I need to go back to AnyDesk. My wife's prefers using free AnyDesk than premium RemotePC, because of lack of essential settings. The most important thing for us is sending key combinations - e.x ALT + F4. Checking "send combinations" button doesn't change anything. I mean it makes change, but none of two is working as should. Another

Con: total lack of key translation between macOS and Windows.

Using key combinations speeds up our work 2-3x times in software we use. If you only use RemotePC to help your family with some basic operating system issues this app will be OK.

Pros

  • installation process
  • additional web-based access

Cons

  • 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.
  • Key combination transfer doesn't work or behaves strange

Return on Investment

  • Wasted money in my case. Need to go back well known competitors to work smooth with professional software
