The best remote access software

Every employee is working from home. The software is fast, transparent and seemless.

PROS

I have used quite a few solutions to remote access software. Most are very complex and difficult to use. VPN was almost impossible for the users to use. Splash top was a breath of fresh air. I chose it because of the reviews it had. I downloaded the trial and installed it on the desktop server in minutes. That process was seamless. Then I had each user integrate the access from their remotes. Not a single user had any connection issues. We are now all working from home as if we were in the office. This software is excellent. We are accessing from laptops, iPhones, androids, iMacs and notebooks. No issues!

CONS

I have no reservations at all. This software is by far, the best remote access software I have ever seen.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

The tests I ran were very successful. There were no connectivity issues and the product operational speed was phenomenal.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

Teamviewer was very difficult for my users to implement at home.

Vendor Response

Hi Daniel, Thanks a lot for the amazing scores and the review. I am Antonia from Splashtop Customer Success team. We are proud to be contributing to your business continuity and hope to have you as our customer for many years to come.

Remote Access Software That Works Well and Doesn't Compromise Access Control

Splashtop has allowed us to confidently provide secure, remote access for technicians to help end users and remote manage systems for maintenance and support. The product has been very reliable and the costs and licensing model make it well worth it. The licensing which is based on the number of technicians instead of endpoints, benefits organizations like ours with many computers but few technicians.

PROS

Our priority when looking for a solution for remote access and support was transparency and access control. With remote access, controlling access is critical. Our previous product, TeamViewer, had many back-doors that could not be managed or audited.For comparison, here are some vulnerabilities in TeamViewer...- Anyone with local admin rights can create a password to remote connect to the computer. This allows any-time access, without the system administrator even knowing that access had been setup.- TeamViewer displays a unique code that anyone at the computer can see, write down, and use to connect remotely. A policy can be setup to rotate the code after each session, but the code itself could not be entirely disabled.- Setting certain access policies to mitigate these issues, such as white lists, created problems when software vendors also used TeamViewer for remote one-time product support.By contrast...- Splashtop only allows remote access if the user/tech has active credentials in the organization.- Access can be further restricted by making sure that the remote user has local (AD) credentials for the remote endpoint.- Modifying the client on an endpoint can be restricted by supplying Splashtop credentials so that even a local admin can't modify them

CONS

Splashtop works great for our needs, and I have almost no complaints. The user interface works well but doesn't look very modern or pretty. This is the first thing that currently comes to mind when I think about ways to improve the product.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

TeamViewer was more expensive and had access control vulnerabilities that were unacceptable.

Vendor Response

Hello Jim, Thank you for sharing your experience with Splashtop. We're thrilled to hear that Splashtop has met your organization's needs. Your comments regarding the reliability and cost-effectiveness of Splashtop's licensing model are valuable to us as we continue to enhance our offerings.

We're delighted to have you as part of the Splashtop community and look forward to continually supporting your remote access needs.

Well, it works...

Always worked, easy, and great if you have an endless IT budget.

PROS

It's pretty easy to set up, has all the features you would need to be able to remote on someone's machine without hassle and do what needs be done.

CONS

The cost of what this product actually does is highly inflated. Should be at least half the cost of what it is now.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

Actually, I didn't choose it. But when I came onboard, I dropped the renewal and went with ManageEngine products to replace Splashtop. Splashtop was too expensive for what it does. Getting much more bang for my buck now with ManageEngines Endpoint Central.

HM Accounting Services LLC

I have been using Splashtop for years now and I can honestly say it has been amazing! It’s so easy to use and allows you to remotely connect to and control any computer, without any hassle. The remote access and control is very reliable, fast, and secure, and it's so great to be able to access any file or program while away from your computer. It has great tools, such as file transfer and remote printing, and really makes distance unnecessary. It’s reliable and one of the best remote access tools I’ve ever used. Highly recommend Splashtop!

PROS

I liked that Splashtop is a secure, reliable, and easy-to-use remote access solution. It is great at providing users with high-performance remote access by streaming audio and video, providing multiple monitor support, and allowing secure file transfer. The ability to access and manage multiple computers remotely is especially impressive.

CONS

I liked least about Splashtop is the lack of certain advanced features, such as the ability to access computers from different operating systems or remote power on and off capabilities. Additionally, I find that the support provided for customer concerns is often slow and inadequate.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

I made the switch to Splashtop from Teamviewer because it was more cost-effective for my needs. It also offers faster connection times and a more secure connection. It is also very user-friendly and has a much easier setup process.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

I initially switched to Splashtop because it provided a more reliable and secure remote connection than the option I was using previously. The encryption standard used by Splashtop was also higher, which made me feel more confident in my data security. It was also more affordable than the other options, making it a great value.

Vendor Response

Hello Horacio, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on Splashtop. It's great to hear that you find Splashtop impressive in providing high-performance remote access with various useful features. We understand the importance of efficient remote management, and we're pleased to know that Splashtop has been instrumental in meeting your needs. We acknowledge your concerns about the absence of certain advanced features and the speed of customer support. Your insights are invaluable to us and will help us improve.

Splashtop is great!

I get to literally work from home! and I can prepare items for transfer to devices that I don't physically have access to like documents to the big copier/printer etc.

PROS

Splashtop is very critical to my success working remotely from home. Without Splashtop, I would have to commute to the building more than once a week. It is very user-friendly.

CONS

I recently experienced difficulty connecting with Splashtop using a laptop computer. I don't know if it was settings on the computer or just bad wifi. I was able to do the work using my phone so all was not lost and this is another of the features that is most handy... access using mobile devices, particularly cell phones.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

I actually use both of them primarily because on one computer that I access, someone else accesses it too using RemotePC and we would have to log each other out in order to access the computer. I did not wish to share any of the login information for that purpose so they use RemotePC and I use Splashtop. This way no one has to share login info.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

Teamviewer became too expensive.

Hello Phyllis, Thank you so much for your positive review and feedback on Splashtop. We understand the convenience it brings by eliminating the need for frequent commuting, and we're delighted to hear that you find it user-friendly.

Splashtop puts others to Shame

Controlling machines, the fact that it supports UAC prompts, file transfer ability, all of those are reasons that this works well for our business.

PROS

To be honest value is the number one reason I love this software. Compared to other solutions the cost is lower, but the product is high quality and is used on a daily basis.

CONS

No support for Linux. We have several Linux machines that we would like to manage, but the support for Linux has been little to none. They have an old version for Linux, and it has not been updated in a while.

Awesome software for the now more common "stay at home' worker.

I had been using another software prior to switching to Splashtop in March, it was a free version because I had only need to access my work computer from home minimally and that was only to access our accounting software, everything else I needed was in the "cloud". The free software I was using had a horrible lag and terrible visual quality and once our state got stay at home orders, I began working from home full time, the lag and poor visual quality was not an efficient way to work. I looked into upgrading the free version but couldn't verify if the lag would be fixed and the price was outrageous so I opted to look for an alternative. That is how a came across Splashtop and decided to give the trial version a whirl and I am so glad I did, I knew with a day or 2 that I would be purchasing a license.

PROS

Super easy to use, with a lot features including fast access anywhere from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Chromebook, HD quality, file transferring. remote print, ability to switch between multiple monitors, all for as low as $5/month ($60 per year).

CONS

I access a computer with 2 monitors and will I can switch between the 2, I wish I had an option to make all everything open on one monitor because dragging between the monitors is not the smoothest when you can only have 1 monitor visible at a time. Although I believe viewing multiple monitors simultaneously is a feature in the Pro version, I am using the Solo version as working from home should only be temporary but if it were more permanent then I'd probably upgrade to Pro.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

Price and not being able to verify if the lag I was experiencing would be fixed if i upgraded from free version

Great Product, Great Value

We needed a replacement product for remote access of our local desktops both from our satellite office as well as in the event stay at home orders went back into effect. Other products I've used in the past for this purpose have been so slow and unresponsive that even with fast internet it was painful to try to work using remote access. Splashtop is very fast and works very well. It was also available at an incredibly reasonable price for the number of users our firm needed.

PROS

Probably the most important aspect of this software is how fast and responsive it is. Programs I've used in the past have had a lag where my curser doesn't track as quickly as my mouse movements, or text is entered more slowly than I type. Splashtop feels almost like I am working on the desktop locally rather than remotely accessing it. It also has nice features for transferring files, printing locally or remotely, locking the screen and controls of the remote desktop, and a live chat feature (although I do not really use the chat feature).

CONS

It is a bit tedious to set up the program on different computers due to all of the authentications emails, it takes a little while to familiarize oneself with the admin controls, and you need to take steps to make sure that the Splashtop Streamer app is running in the background when you try to launch the remote access, which can be confusing to explain to users that are not technologically savvy.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

Splashtop was a cheaper, better fit. Even the Citrix salesperson did not recommend that we try to replace ShareConnect with the Virtual Apps and Desktop program. Once I saw how fast Splashtop operated, I did not even consider looking at some of the programs we had used prior to ShareConnect.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

ShareConnect, a program offered with our Citrix ShareFile subscription, was going to be discontinued as a SaaS offering, and the replacement option that would have been available was not a good fit and would have been much more expensive.

An excellent LogMeIn replacement

With Splashtop Remote Support we can effectively manage both our own PCs and servers, as well as that of our clients remotely. The switch from LogMeIn went smoothly, and we've found that the remote support sessions connect far quicker and are more reliable than LogMeIn. Overall we are very satisfied with Splashtop and glad that we've made the switch.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

We've used LogMeIn Free, then LogMeIn Central for many years. However, LogMeIn wrote to us a couple of years ago intending to more than double the price we were paying. So we looked at alternatives, and Splashtop came out on top for functionality and price. After a two week free trial we were satisfied that Splashtop was the way to go.

If you are using TeamViewer - Switch now!

It has been good. I was searching for an alternative to TeamViewer that wasn't going to kill my one-man-company. This lets me manage the few servers I need too without having to pay a ton of cash. The file transfer works great, and the screen sharing is solid. Stays connected for DAYS.

PROS

It works way better than other screen sharing apps I have used. It just works. I also like the cost - compared to teamviewer, it is more reasonably priced and I don't have to fight bugs all the time. It works when you switch to wifi - long time teamviewer bug!

CONS

The only problem I have had (and it was short lived) was that it is easy to close the remote client accidentally. Once you realize it needs to stay running (and don't close the tray icon) - you don't have any problems. I caught this very early on.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

It was a better fit for my small business.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

TeamViewer wouldn't work on devices connected to wifi - it was bizarre. Never used to work like that, but the software just kept getting buggier and buggier. Also, the disconnects were horrendous. Now that i am using the same connections / computers without issue - I know it was the software.

Great product, easy to configure and deploy.

Splashtop Business Access has worked flawlessly for me and I am very happy with the purchase.

PROS

I like the ability to customize and configure a deployment pack and either use a usb or link to deploy. I have not been disconnected or froze at all and there is no delay when using mouse/keyboard. I also like the resolution when connecting and ability to switch the remote monitors as needed.

CONS

The only (minor) thing I don't like is that when using a new computer to remote from is that an email is sent to add the device to the allowed list. It would be simpler to have a way to verify by simply sending a code to my phone asking for permission.

Excellent User Experience!

I'm able to work remotely with no loss of productivity and also able to provide support to other users who do not know how to solve computer issues themselves.

PROS

I was particularly impressed with the sound transfer features of the software. I selected my desired sound settings on setup of the program, rather than having to select it with each session. There was no delay or latency and the full screen function makes it appear that I am sitting at my office computer. The cost was low and the value very high, especially when compared to other similar software, some of which costs 10 times as much.

CONS

Two different software programs, a streamer and a business program, must be loaded. It would be nice to only have to load one program, but this was not that much of a hassle.

Reason for choosing Splashtop

Logmein was very expensive and the quality was not one bit better than Spashtop.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

The prior program was slow and the sound transfer feature was very weak and had to be enabled with each session. When it was enabled, it caused degrading graphics.

Awesome tool for a great price - SOOO much better than Teamviewer

It works great. I used Teamviewer in the past and Teamviewer made you put in codes everytime you wanted to use it and weird stuff like that. Didn't seem like it was meant for long-term access to certain computers.

PROS

Splashtop is really easy to use once you get it set up. I also like that it was the "wake" feature which is a lifesaver. I use it to remotely access client's computers if I need to do something for them under their network. It's quite easy to use and I can have it setup to easily select the computer I need to log into.

CONS

Even with the wake feature, it doesn't always work (probably due to the computer not being connected to the internet etc.) but it's much better than alternatives. Really it does everything it is supposed to do so I don't have any other complaints.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

Teamviewer is cost-prohibitive (like $40/month, which makes sense if you're a tech support company or something like that, but not for what I do). Also, it makes you input codes and stuff everytime you login so you have to have those on hand all the time and remember which 9+ digit code goes with each computer that you want to access.

Excellent Remote Support Product At An Affordable Price

PROS

My business provides remote support for photographers working with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic. For almost a decade, we used a competitor's product that cost far more than Splashtop SOS to help our clients on Macs and PCs. The more expensive product was harder to deploy, had no technical advantages, and cost hundreds more per year. For us, switching to Splashtop SOS has improved customer satisfaction and saved my business thousands of dollars over the past five years!

CONS

I wish that there was a way to run adjust the bandwith usage to an even lower setting when working with clients who have weak internet connections. A black and white screen display mode, or a slower screen refresh rate, might be helpful for those situations when even the "Low" bandwidth usage setting is still too taxing on their feeble connections.

Cost!

Splashtop- Remote pc and devises

One thing that sets Splashtop apart from other remote control software is that it allows customization of the single plug-in applet, making it easy to add your brand. The business application needed to provide support can be installed on multiple devices at no additional cost, enabling seamless support whether you're in the office, at home, or on the go.

PROS

Splashtop offers a user friendly and reliable remote connection experience that is easy to deploy on PC, I like that it is compatible with all operating systems, including mobile. Something I can highligt is its smooth and hassle free connectivity and the absence of network issues, which sets it apart as a reliable solution for remote access. Users have the flexibilty to view multiple monitors and easily share files, it's like a kind of control center for other devices.

CONS

The conection from PC to PC is very good, but trying to control from a PC to a mobile or tablet is not the same experience, the connection is unstable, and you cannot click and control the app properly, it is something that your Developers team need to improve, since the use of mobile devices increases every day.

Reasons for switching to Splashtop

the connection is more stable.
