Accessing multiple PCs from remote locations is easy and reliable with this solution
The solution works very well, I do not have any problem with it at all. The only problem is they have more than tripled their price in the last three years over what they used to charge. A price reduction would probably be warranted as I am not getting three times the service. My husband uses it too and he agrees that a price reduction would be the only thing he would be looking for. The vendor more than tripled the price in the last three years — so it has doubled and then doubled again. They have just kind of gone through the roof when it comes to pricing and I think that they are justifying that because of the demand.

Able to boot into safe mode or standard mode remotely and reliable performance
I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable."
"The ability to use mobile devices is helpful because we can support our clients from anywhere."

Cons

"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting."
"If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot."
"The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."

"It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
"The price of the solution is mid-ranged, although it is more cost effective than that of TeamViewer."
"Splashtop Remote Support is not too expensive. It costs around 800 euros per year."
