Overall Satisfaction with Chrome Remote Desktop
Chrome Remote Desktop is used to control and monitor Windows servers that initial long-running database-related jobs that require a stable, long-time connection. It is also used for copying large files that take more than 24 hours. It's only used within the database area and enterprise-wide distribution is under review.
- The stability is excellent.
- The speed is excellent.
- It has very little performance overhead.
- Security. there have been a large number of patches and applying patches in production environments requires significant planning and potential downtime.
- Move to a quarterly patching cycle so that patching isn't so often.
- Better auditing and transparency.
- Chrome licensing is better priced than MS, so this is positive.
- Utilizing multiple desktops to submit and monitor long-running batch jobs reduces the need for only 1 desktop to submit and admin job scheduling, this is also a positive.
- Patching is a negative, it is too often and too time-consuming.
Chrome Remote Desktop is much more user-friendly that Symantec Endpoint Protection. Support is marginally better with Chrome as well.
Symantec's solution is hard to set up and admin, it also uses a lot of memory that can only be freed with rebooting. The downside to memory usage I suppose can be offset by encryption gains.
