Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."User interface."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location."
"I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it."
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."
"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."
"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."
"The most valuable feature is the remote application access."
"The most valuable part of RDS is that it allows you to work from any location and check the server through a VPN connection."
"The solution is user-friendly and has a good user experience."
"Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is stable and reliable."
"What I found most valuable in Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is accessibility because the solution lets you take control of your computer remotely."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is that it scales well."
"The performance is one of the main features of this solution."
"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."
"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."
"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."
"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"Everything has to be done over the web, via email, or something like that. You can't talk to a human being. That bothers me a lot."
"As far as the usability of it, I'd like to see if printing could be enabled in the basic version or the medium version. Some of the remote printing isn't available unless you go to the premium versions, and that's disappointing."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"The product is not very scalable."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The initial setup of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is not the easiest. You need to have a certain understanding of how Microsoft is provisioning the solution to be able to set it up and use it."
"I want to connect easily from an external network even when I'm not in my enterprise or company. It should be easy to connect or integrate Microsoft Teams, for example, with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services."
"I would like to be able to leverage it on other operating systems."
"We'd like more granular security control of the desktop services."
"It could offer better security for enterprises."
"For Microsoft, maybe bandwidth optimization is one of the areas that need improvement."
