Overall Satisfaction with Splashtop Enterprise

We help physical product brands manage their Amazon accounts. With Amazon, there are certain things that have to be done by the main owner login. In some circumstances, it's difficult for our clients to do it themselves, even with our directions, so with Splashtop, we can set up a remote desktop once and then perform certain tasks from their login, using their computer, without forcing our client to do that work themselves (we can't simply log in to their account using our login due to certain Amazon policies).

We don't use them for most of our clients but for the ones where it is needed, Splashtop is a lifesaver. It's so easy to use. We can simply log in and pick the client computer we need to access. It's also pretty easy to set up for the first time. Other options, such as TeamViewer, are more difficult to use and WAY more expensive.

Pros

  • Easy set up. Once it is set up, you can access computers remotely at any time.
  • Very good pricing, only $50/year.

Cons

  • Every time we access it from a new computer, we have to click the approval email. It would be nice if we weren't required to do that.
  • Sometimes the "Wake Up" function doesn't always work. I would assume that's when the remote computer isn't connected to the internet, not sure if there is a way around that though.
  • We've been able to perform certain tasks for our clients that we would have had to have them do otherwise (and then they wouldn't be paying us to do it for them).
  • Projects have been able to move forward faster because we don't have to wait for clients to perform the tasks that have to be done from their computers.
Splashtop is way better than TeamViewer in every way. The interface is better, the features are better (such as the "Wake Up" feature), the pricing is better ($50/year for Splashtop compared to $480/year for TeamViewer, while TeamViewer has fewer features.

Honestly, TeamViewer just seems like a terrible, terrible software. However, I assume it's because it's meant more for call centers or tech support people who have totally different needs.

Do you think Splashtop delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Splashtop's feature set?

Yes

Did Splashtop live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Splashtop go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Splashtop again?

Yes

It's great for Amazon Marketing firms who don't want to risk logging into their main client accounts from their own computers. It's also great if you have a special desktop computer at work that you need to access from your laptop anywhere. The pricing makes it economical and the setup is quite easy.

    Why don't you recommend AweSun. Best remote desktop solution. Powerful and Free. https://aweray.com/ AweSun Remote Desktop is a free remote access software. AweSun supports remote connections between PC and PC, mobile devices and PC. It allows free connections to up to three devices. I like its user interface which is simple and clear. I usually use it for remote work, it offers multiple remote work solutions for free. On the whole, it’s a great remote access solution. Core features: AweSun can be called an all-in-one remote desktop solution, offering multiple strong features for free. Its main features include remote desktop, file transfer, screen sharing, secure unattended access, remote printing, whiteboard, session recording, text chatting, blank screen, and synchronized clipping. Meanwhile AweSun also supports exclusive Game features and remote CMD.

      I had never heard of Awesun before, but that sounds like a good option as well.
