Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am using Chrome Remote Desktop to access my computer's desktop from my phone when needed. Only used in a single department, single person.

Pros and Cons

Desktop access from mobile devices
Desktop access from other computers
Don't have to be on the same network to access. You can use any internet connected device that supports the Chrome Remote Desktop app.

Built in file transfer would be nice.
Has sporadic issues with Admin pop-up permissions dialogue boxes

Return on Investment

Being able to access remote desktop, especially in an emergency. Gives you full access to what you need in such times.

Alternatives Considered

I've used RealVNC but it takes much longer to set up RealVNC in the past. More firewall setup. Not as secure in my opinion.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Office 2016, Luminate

Likelihood to Recommend

When you are away from your computer and you need full access to your desktop. Especially useful for when there is an app that is only supported on Desktop and not a mobile version.

Great app for desktop remote control!
