RealVNC is much more reliable than other remote desktop programs I've tried out. The structure of the program is well thought out, making it easy to select a remote computer to connect to on both mobile and computer devices. I use RealVNC on a daily basis to connect to a number of computers in the research lab I work in. Being able to connect to a computer in a different remotely from my phone allows me to easily integrate systems in different parts of the lab togeather. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RealVNC? There are a few ways in which I think RealVNC could be improved to offer a better experience. 1. Ocassionally the RealVNC server has logged my user out of the account for no clear reason. It is always difficult to figure out that this has happened. It also causes a major headache if I am home when the log out occurs, as I have no way of accessing the computer in person. 2. RealVNC doesn't provide as smooth of an experience as other remote desktop apps, for example the Parsec app. Improving the snappiness of the remote desktop experience would make me enjoy using RealVNC even more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RealVNC solving and how is that benefiting you? RealVNC allows the research lab that I work in to access instruments in different rooms and across buildings. This is crucial for our ability to keep our experiments running smoothly.

AM Anubhav M. Electrical Engineer Automotive Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/14/2023 "RealVNC is a robust remote access solution that stands out for its simplicity and effectiveness." 5/5 What do you like best about RealVNC? One of the key strengths of RealVNC is its user-friendly interface. The software is intuitive, making it easy for both beginners and experienced users to navigate. The setup process is easy, requiring minimal configuration. The connection is stable, and I've experienced minimal lag, even when working with resource-intensive applications like CAD work. It supports various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. One feature of RealVNC that I love is its cloud connectivity, allowing users to access their remote desktops from anywhere with an internet connection. This flexibility is particularly useful for professionals who need to access their work machines while on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RealVNC? While RealVNC offers a free version for personal use, the business licenses can be relatively expensive for larger organizations. Some businesses may find the pricing less competitive compared to alternative remote access solutions. Users may also encounter occasional problems when configuring firewalls or routers for optimal performance. While the support documentation is there, some users might find the initial setup a bit technical. The free tier doesn't have much technical support, but I suppose that okay. Since its free. I do use it frequently and have had a relavtively problem free time. But if something does go wrong, fixing can be a hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RealVNC solving and how is that benefiting you? Remote Access to Desktops: I log into my office servers/laptops and even single board computers from my home if I need to check something or quickly help a collegue. Cross-Platform Compatibility: It supports various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The cross-platform compatibilityreally helps out for use on robotics development and remote maintaince of servers. Cloud Connectivity: The cloud connectivity feature lets us access the remote desktops without the need for complex network configurations. Plus its over the internet, from anywhere and anytime without having the hassle or the security risk of dealing with port forwarding, DNS and whatnot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AT Anthony T. Network Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/28/2023 "VNC is a Powerful Remote Administration Tool" 5/5 What do you like best about RealVNC? VNC was easy to set up. Once the client side is configured, the connection is always there on the launcher, ready to go. I can connect almost immediately without end-user intervention. I have great controls from the toolbar such as sending CTRL+ALT+DEL, which is good when I'm using VNC through a remote session of my own. I can switch monitors or view all simultaneously. It stays connected through reboots, which is better than baked beans at a BBQ. VNC is one of those tools that you didn't know you needed but can't let it go. It makes remote administration just so much easier, especially on headless PCs. I have used ConnectWise and I feel that VNC is smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RealVNC? I have used ConnectWise in the past and I feel like ConnectWise offered better information and logistics about a remote system. Maybe it is designed more for the MSP market, but the version of VNC I use lacks some of those tools that can really bring the whole package of remote administration, logistics, inventory, and information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RealVNC solving and how is that benefiting you? I use VNC to remotely administer a headless PC in a warehouse 2.5 hours away from my office headquarters. The warehouse guys don't want the role of adjusting the PC to suit their needs; they want IT to manage it for them. Since no one sits at that PC, I need to have extensive control over it remotely. VNC is a slick tool that allows me to do that and I use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
