Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Reviews

The solution helps users to access desktops remotely.

The solution performs well and is easy to use.

Microsoft's desktop versions have a limit of only one concurrent session. It needs to be improved. Also, they should enhance the solution's user interface. It could be more intuitive compared to TeamViewer and AnyDesk. 

I rate the solution's stability as a nine.

We have used VNC Viewer, UltraVNC, and TeamViewer before.

The solution is easy to install.

The solution's license is affordable.

I recommend the solution to others and rate it as a nine.

We use the solution as a remote desktop. It allows us to access Windows services.

The solution offers good access to desktops remotely. It makes work easier. 

The user interface is fine. 

It offers reasonable pricing. Microsoft is very reasonable in its approach to cost.

The solution is stable.

It can scale well.

The initial setup is simple. 

It offers good centralized security features. 

The solution offers many updates. Every week we get updates.

It offers very good functionality.

The solution is not missing any features. 

It could offer better security for enterprises. They are not always on top of security.

I've been using the solution for one year.

The solution is stable If the network k is very stable, you won't have issues. I'd rate the stability eight out of ten. We haven't had any issues. 

The solution is scalable. It extends well. I'd rate it ten out of ten.

We have about five network and system administrators on the solution. If we increase resources, we may increase usage. It's very easy to increase users as necessary.

We have never used Microsoft technical support. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

The deployment only takes ten minutes. 

We simply need the remote server parameters in order to make the connection and finalize the setup.

We only need one technical person to deploy and maintain the product. A system admin could easily manage it. 

As long as I have the remote server parameters, I can handle the setup myself. 

We do have to pay a licensing fee. The pricing is not too expensive. It's very reasonable. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. I'd recommend the solution. Microsoft of very reliable, and its remote desktop is great. However, there needs to be more security.

As an internal Microsoft product, we find it very trustworthy. It's quite secure. It connects easily to Windows operating systems on devices. 

The performance meets our requirements and the stability is good.

The solution scales well.

The setup process is easy.

The solution is under the Microsoft infrastructure and therefore does not allow for service under other operating systems. We'd like, in the future, if it would work with Linux or Unix-based operating systems or even Mac.

Although I don't use it consistently, I have used it for ten to 15 years. It's a pretty old solution. 

The solution is stable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. 

The scalability is okay. Sometimes we deploy a server-client scenario, so many clients can connect to the same server and they can log in at the same time simultaneously. There's no issue with scalability in that sense.

We have 50 users on the product currently.

We've never had any real issues. I haven't dealt with technical support.

In terms of the initial setup, the implementation process is simple and straightforward. It's not difficult. 

Since it is not a new solution, most of the engineers know how to deploy and how to operate it; we are not waiting for further technical documents for assistance.

Since it was quite easy to deploy, we did not need any outside assistance from integrators or consultants. 

While it's connected to the cloud, it's a solution that is currently on-premises. 

I'm not sure if we are using a specific version. Whatever options that come with Microsoft, we use that. Since they upgraded Microsoft (for example, earlier it was Microsoft XP, and Windows 7, 8, 9, 10, et cetera), the options come up throughout those operating systems. We use whatever they offer.

I would recommend the solution to others. I'd rate it at a nine out of ten. We've had a good experience with it over a number of years. 

I primarily use the solution for online work.

The initial setup is simple. 

It is scalable.

The solution is stable.

I don't really like the solution in general. It's like Microsoft made me use it. I didn't have a choice per se.

The price is too high.

I can use a VPN and get the same results while using an actual desktop.

I'd like to have more courses or training available. 

I've been using the solution for a few years. I've used it since around 2019. It hasn't been an extremely long amount of time.

The solution is really stable. I'd rate it ten out of ten. I've had no issues with reliability. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability is good. You can basically keep adding licenses as needed when you have new users. We have four or five users at this time.

I've never had to use technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be. 

I have used TeamViewer in the past, however, it's quite different from this product. I used the consumer version, not the enterprise version.

I found the initial setup to be quite simple and straightforward. You only have to add a Remote Desktop license. There's no need to call or involve anyone else. 

The solution comes at a high price. It was not cheap. 

I'm a reseller.

I could recommend the solution to others if they need it and it makes sense for their use case. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. It's too much of a cost.

We use it to connect to the legacy system.

It is still in the early stages, and the features are purely for connectivity.

There is a limitation on the number of concurrent users. The limitation is 20, and you have to spin up more than one server, which is not needed at this stage because of customers. So they reduced it to 12 active users. So if you want to deploy more than 12, you should assess other solutions.

We have been using this solution for three months, and it is the latest version. It is deployed on cloud.

We had issues with stability in the beginning, but it is good now. The stability depends on connectivity in terms of the latency of the internet link.

We have not tried to scale it. We have 40 users using this solution.

I rate the technical support a six out of ten. It took them a while to understand the technology.

We chose this solution because it's a Microsoft Cloud and end-to-end all solution, Cloud 365. In addition, it's all Microsoft, so it made sense to stay with the same VDI solution.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment was done with BCX, and it took one week.

The licensing came with the product, and the solution had no additional costs.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. Regarding advice, it depends on the requirements and what you need. In this case, it's just for one legacy system. So if you assess more functionality and scalability, we would look at different products because the customers would be prepared to pay for those products.

We use the solution for remote access. I use Microsoft Remote Desktop Services to troubleshoot or reboot the service of my mobile or tablet applications.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is managing the remote desktop end user or remote server. It is much easier to transfer a file between your desktop and remote site using Microsoft Remote Desktop Services.

The solution should introduce a chat feature for end users.

I have been working with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for more than ten years.

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

More than 30 people use Microsoft Remote Desktop Services in our company.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The solution has a pretty comparable pricing.

I do recommend Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for my clients. It would be good if we could manage client-server applications through the remote interface.

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

When I'm in the office I use the solution to connect to another server to look at files or services that are running, things like that. When working from home I use it to connect to our VPN and then to my work computer and pretty much do everything that way. I'm a senior software analyst at an educational institution and I believe we have a partnership with Microsoft. 

Because of Covid, the solution has given those stuck at home the ability to continue working.

I think the price of this product is great. The solution allows me the option of using two monitors. I like the screen draw in Remote Desktop, it's better than GoToMyPC, which I've used previously although the improvement could also be related to a better internet connection over the past six months. 

It would be helpful if there was a feature that notifies you when the internet is down so you're not working for nothing, it should be something that pops right up where you can see it. The internet is always going to go down and the product seems to notice that it's down before my VPN notifies me that it's gone down. You're working and nothing's happening and it takes time to get the notification. 

For an additional feature, I'd like to see Remote Desktop specify which computer Zoom meetings will run on. I've joined a couple of sessions from home, and when I turn on my video, all you see is my empty desk chair at the office.

I've been using this solution for six months. 

The solution is stable. 

Scalability is not really relevant but the solution is used by a fair number of the IT staff. 

I've never needed to use technical support. 

I previously used GoToMyPC because I used to do upgrades from home at night. We were paying for that solution which wasn't necessary with the free Microsoft option. I used both of them for a short time and realized Remote Desktop really seemed to draw the screen better and also everybody else was using it. 

The initial setup is straightforward. You've got to have the IP address of the computer you're connecting to - in our organization it's managed by our network manager.

I would recommend this solution. 

I rate this product an eight out of 10. 

I use RDS to connect our servers.

The most valuable part of RDS is that it allows you to work from any location and check the server through a VPN connection.

Users have to re-enter their ID and password every time they log on, which is tedious and repetitive. It would be better if the system could save users' passwords between sessions.

I've been using RDS for around ten years.

The cloud version's scalability is better than on-prem.

Microsoft's technical support is helpful, but its speed could be better.

The initial setup is very simple.

I would rate RDS eight out of ten.
