Overall Satisfaction with Chrome Remote Desktop
I use Chrome Desktop to access my computers at home from work.
- Easy Setup
- Connected to your Google account
- Provide remote support to others
- Encrypted Sessions
- Mac Supported
- Relies on Google Account
- Management of several computers can be kludgy
- If software becomes out of date, confusing how to update.
- Since Chrome Remote Desktop is Free, no negative ROI other than sometimes frustrating interface from Mobile.
- For bigger businesses, look elsewhere such as Bomgar.
- For personal, Chrome Remote Desktop will fit the bill, since it is free.
Bomgar is probably one of the best support/Unattended remote access solutions out there. LogMeIn is a close second. However, the cost of both these solutions can be daunting. However, a third option, Jump Desktop, is slick since it uses a propriety 'fluid' streaming protocol combined with the option to use remote desktop via proxy. For my personal needs I find using Jump Desktop better. However, for business, I turn to Bomgar.
