Pros/Cons
Pros
- Splashtop is extremely simple to set up and use. It's been extremely reliable so far in terms of connection speed and quality and is superb for the price.
- We set everyone up with Splashtop when we went remote in 2020 and love it, haven't returned to the office because it's so easy for us to use. Great customer service, fast and helpful.
- I have found the display of all of my remote machines to be superb when using Splashtop. I also love the flexible settings that I can customize for each machine.
Cons
- I had to contact support multiple times to trouble shoot why the software wasn’t working with my surface pro. They cater more to Apple products.
- Some of the directions in the beginning were a little confusing regarding whether it was referring to the host or the outsider we wanted to give access to.
- Occasionally I have trouble with the remote printing function.
Pros
- One of the best things is that I can see both screens and work from them just like working at my desk at work. I also love how it will quickly reconnect on startup.
- I needed to work from home for a while during the pandemic and this was an awesome way to do that.
- The software was good and had an easy time of connecting to my headless servers. The iOS app made it easy to connect from anywhere if I needed to quickly restart a service or something easy.
Cons
- The only thing I hate about it is suddenly crashing and sometimes mouse/keyboard stop responding in the VNC.
- There was no file transfer and the customer support was horrific.
- Problems can occur when trying to connect using a local server, But referring documentation and discussion forums can solve the problem. If disconnects auto connects to the network.
