Best tool for any remote connection

This product helped us to provide remote support to the teams in different branches, as well as making it easier for us to have to move since it allows us full control of the devices, ensuring security while maintaining the connection.

Ease of use

Pros:

What I like the most about this software is how easy it is to use, as well as the security that it offers us once we establish a connection. Another part that I really like about this product is the large number of multiple connections that it allows me to make, ensuring thus a better performance when giving remote support

Cons:

What I liked least about this product is that it doesn't give me the option of a chat window to interact with people, but apart from this I consider it one of the most stable and complete on the market.

Reasons for switching to RealVNC Connect

For some features and for the price at the time of purchase

It’s reliable and both the clarity and responsiveness are very good.

Cons:

I’m on a LAN and there’s an up charge to connect over LAN. I think that’s silly.

Better fidelity and responsiveness. Security is also important

Its a good product Ive used it for years. I just wish it was stable and was easier to add to my computers list.

Functionality

Pros:

the On-Demand Assist. Its the easiest and fastest way to connect with users that are not computer savvy.

Cons:

sometimes the stability. There are times I have to have both Teamviewer and VNC Connect on because it will disconnect randomly. Transferring files should have a default path automatically go into the downloads folder instead of picking a path manually and vise versa for getting files transferred back to me.

Reasons for choosing RealVNC Connect

Pricing and ease of the On demand assist

Reasons for switching to RealVNC Connect

Pricing, but I still use it time to time when VNC Fails to connect.

Overbilled and no support whatsoever, unable to get help to resolve

No support, overcharged, unable to make appropriate plan or billing changes. Stuck with what I have and will have to migrate my devices and cancel before they hit me again with over-billing.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Functionality is great...until you need support of any kind. No ability to change plan or billing unless adding on and no way to correct inaccuracies.

Cons:

No response from support...ever. I tried multiple voice mails and emails and ended up getting overcharged for services I did not want/need. Then, at renewal time, I was unable to change my subscription unless I wanted to add on, was concerned about getting over charged but couldn't turn off auto-renew or remove my card or even see what I would be charged until the day before my card was charged, even though I had attempted to contact support multiple times already with no response.

Reasons for switching to RealVNC Connect

Thought a better value but pricing is comparable once you factor in the over-billing that I can't fix and support is horrible/nonexistent, will have to switch again.
