VNC is an Effective Remote Management Tool
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates RealVNC Connect from other similar products?
Setting up VNC was simple. Once the client-side configuration is complete, the connection will always be available on the launcher. I can establish a connection almost instantly and with no assistance from the user. When I use VNC in a private remote session, I appreciate the convenient access to keyboard shortcuts and other features that I find on the toolbar.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I remotely manage a headless warehouse PC using VNC. The workers at the warehouse would rather have IT take care of the PC than take on the responsibility of customizing it for their requirements. Since nobody uses that computer often, I need full remote access to its features.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In my experience, ConnectWise provided superior remote system information and management. My current version of VNC seems to be missing some of the features that would make it ideal for remote management, logistics, inventories, and information. This may be because it was developed with managed service providers in mind.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I have the flexibility to see anything on any of the monitors. In comparison to cooked beans at a barbecue, it can withstand reboots without losing its connection. You may not have realized how much you relied on VNC until it was gone. It's a huge time saver for remote administration, particularly on headless PCs. VNC is more streamlined than ConnectWise, which I've used.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Enables Productivity
- Efficient Service
- Fair
