Overall Satisfaction with Apple Remote Desktop
We use Apple Remote Desktop to remotely work on Mac Mini devices that we use for builds of iOS and MacOS applications we develop.
- Detection of computers on remote network
- Authentication
- File manager integration
- Connection quality
- Keyboard mapping
- It allowed us to save money and space buy not having to buy separate displays and input peripherals for machines that are mostly used as headless servers.
Microsoft Remote desktop tends to perform better, especially over the internet and has multiple implementations, including open source.
AnyDesk is multi platform (both server and client) and more suitable for ad-hoc remote sessions.
