Overall Satisfaction with RemotePC

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 and Cons

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

Usability

Not suitable for users working with professional software on the remote computer (accountant, medical, science) who need keys combinations to work and non-english keyboard layouts.
