Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Reviews

It becomes easy to use since I am using a Mac. It is easy for me to use Windows when I'm using the remote desktop. It's very compatible with Mac. It's easy for me to do any of my tasks that require Windows.

For my university project, I was doing a data mining project. I had a Mac which does not support the Excel field add-ons that only Windows supported. The report desktop feature helped me to just commute into it.

The speed should be a little more. When you're pitching from Mac to Windows, it takes a little more time than what is required. It can improve its speed. That's it. Everything else looks fine. I just started using it a year back, so that is what I can point out right now.

It has been a year that I have been using this solution.

It's stable. Actually, it is fast and compatible. It's quite reliable.

As of now, I haven't found the need to reach out for support. Everything was fine, so I didn't have any questions.

I recommend it. You can actually use it. I have worked as an intern in Electronic Arts and they do use it.

In terms of the valuable features, I like the profile, the new version is really good.

The DB card needs improvement. I have a lot of experience with other competitors and Citrix is better than VMware and Microsoft. Citrix has more extensive features. 

I have been using this solution since 2003.

I haven't had to reach out to support. 

The pricing is fair. Our customers are satisfied. 

I would rate Microsoft Remote Desktop Services a seven out of ten. 

In the next release, there should be one management console to manage all of the servers and rules. That would be a good improvement. 

It also needs a better tool for monitoring. We need to test the user experience. 

We use this solution for remote desktop services.

We find the services are not as transparent as we would like for our integration with Citrix.

Stability is quite good.

We currently have 300 users. We do not have any current plans to increase the usage. It is scalable for our needs.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took only two hours. We did it all in-house.

The pricing is moderate. 

The ability to actually interface with a Windows desktop is valuable.

It makes things easier. The app that they provide you works off Mac and Windows. Even if I have my instance upon Azure or any other cloud platform, I can just use the normal Desktop Services app to give it an IP, the logon credentials, and just log in. It is done very easily.

Then it lets you into the VN. It creates sort of this window for you and allows you to interface with the VN. You can treat it as a separate window among your other apps. It actually works as a very good app on the underlying OS.

When I am connecting, I can do so from a Mac command line. However, to log in to a Windows server, I need to use this client. If Microsoft can find a way to remote into a Windows VN without using a client like this, that would be great.

I don't know how doable it is, or how easy it is to do, but maybe it's a limitation of the OS itself. Having a secondary app to log in to a remote VN is not ideal, but the app itself is very good.

We have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It is stable. It has never quit or crashed on me. It connects me to what I need.

Even if the VN is slow, it lets me know that the VN is slow and that there are issues with it. The app itself doesn't crash, which is good to know.

I don’t know whether it can scale to a large VN subset, or whether it can allow me the capability to log in to multiple VNs at the same time.

If that would work, I don’t know what the performance would be on it. I suspect that it wouldn't be that good. For personal use, it is a great app.

I haven't used their support at all. I never had the need to.

I would say absolutely get this product. For enterprise usage, I don't know how viable it would be. I am not very aware of all the capabilities within that app.

The idea is that if you are setting up separate VNs, you have to click on to get connected to each VN. It doesn't sound intuitive to me.

If they have an enterprise offering that goes away from that experience, I think it would be usable. But for just managing your own VN form, it is real easy. It's a personal VN form.

We use this solution to test the conductivity from the user to the server equipment.

The most valuable features of the solution are ease of use and the simple environment.

There could be some improvement in the integration of the solution.

I have used the solution for approximately one year.

The solution is very stable.

I have found the solution scalable. We have approximately four people using this solution in my organization.

The installation is easy and the full deployment takes approximately eight hours.

The solution works very well for us and I recommend it to others.

I rate Microsoft Remote Desktop Services an eight out of ten.
