Overall Satisfaction with Splashtop

Remote access for on premises applications and file server access. Remote accounting service staff access to perform bookkeeping services. Company staff use for remote access of files and forms. Senior management uses for accessing all applications hosted on network server but tteee applications are not accessible via internet. Splashtop is used due to security and stability.
  • Security maintained for individual users
  • Data transported securely - never an issue with hacking
  • Multiple applications and servers accessed from a single application for access
  • Auto generated use reports
  • Reduced security applications cost and numbers of applications
  • Reduced time for remote staff and contractor staff which has reduced cost
  • Easy tracking of licenses and solid prediction of cost
Support only utilized during evaluation and initial configuration set up. So that’s a pleasant surprise and experience. Configuration was easy and compatibility with other network applications and controls was easy to validate initially with Splashtop support.
Splashtop completely satisfies our requirements for remote access with tight security, and provides scalability. We are completely satisfied and confident we only have authorized users accessing our network resources. We frequently shut down servers and PC’s for a variety of reasons and Splashtop always is available when reboot is completed. The configuration and user authentication data is maintained.
Splashtop on boarding was excellent and the efficiency of the support staff was perfect, Splashtop’s on boarding process should be a standard that all software providers should adopt as a high level process.
Onboarding was a real pleasant surprise and Splashtop staff were excellent with knowledge and follow up and availability.
Yes - We used a variety of products - numerous products.
Products for VPN, remote access, remote control. You can name the top 10 VPN products/providers.
We tried all of the virus protection company products for remote access.
Doesn't matter ehivj brand name - they all were too cumbersome for staff and required daily telephone support and often a support program to log onto the users computer. All required outside IT consulting staff to implement and maintain.

Accessing a specific computer for on premise installed applications not accessible by internet connection is an ideal use. Even accessing a file server to access files is very easy and protects the data better than simply making the server accessible by internet connection - Splashtop simplifies the connection and security of the data as well as the user login.
Using Splashtop for applications such as email is possible but not necessary with email applications built in web access and user security.
