Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."It saves a lot of time for all of our IT staff from having to just use the RDP Windows client and reenter each server every time we access a different system."
"Documentation per entry, good for device configs or important/special instructions."
"RDM has enabled me to do most of my work in one place. This helps me be able to have an RDP session open to a server in one tab and an SSH session open to a VMware host in another."
""Inherited" function for credentials - Configure the desired credential at one (top) location, and use the Inherited function on all sub-connections that should use this credential."
"The interface is great to work with as it allows multiple connections in a tabbed interface. It also has the option to automatically start a VPN or an SSH tunnel, if required."
"Being able to aggregate all connections (RDP, FTP, SSH, VPN, etc.) in the same interface and make each server readily available in the same way, which lets me focus on the problem regardless of where it is."
"Being able to store my credentials makes connecting a breeze."
"It really helps to have all the data already pre-entered and all I have to do is enter the password."
"Parallels Access has flexible licensing policies, which is beneficial for customers who have intermittent usage or users who are on and off the system."
"It's great that the total deployment can happen completely remotely."
"It's got a very easy-to-use interface."
"We don't have problems with stability. Everything is good."
"Parallels Access gives me full access and control of the computer, and I can do anything I want remotely."
"The RDM client (.NET issue, actually) can stall or lock up while it clears communication threads to the server."
"Sometimes the manual inventory of some entries hangs, and RDM must be closed via task manager."
"Security roles could be improved, especially by enabling renaming of a role."
"If there was a way to streamline the process, it would make it nice."
"The filing system of connections is a little clunky, but is completely functional."
"Maybe some clipboard functions could be added along with integration of different software."
"On complex setups, I actually needed to reach out to support to get it working correctly."
"The only complaint I have heard is there are too many updates. Each time there is an update (the app prompts to upgrade), it can be time consuming, especially when sometimes there are multiple updates per week."
"One challenge we do notice is that the application is limited to Windows servers only. If a customer has a Linux server, things get complicated. They should open it up a bit to be more compatible with different types of servers."
"The solution may not scale well for enterprises."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing policy. The price point is pretty aggressive."
"When you want to transfer a file from your iPad or remote device to the computer, the copy-and-paste feature doesn't always work."
"They could improve the reporting."
