4.5/5
What do you like best about Remote Desktop Services?

Remote Desktop Services promotes security, speed and productivity presented in different departments, because through this tool allows different users belonging to the company to access computers located within the same company through sessions virtues giving our employees the opportunity to work easily without the need to physically attend the company, because also with Remote Desktop Services you can make file transfers to senior managers of the company with specific reports of the activities performed by each employee Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

As Remote Desktop Services is a remote management application, one of the main disadvantages is that it does not allow for the availability of several monitors connected simultaneously, which in this case does not allow for a conference where the different departments of the company can participate, thus avoiding a face-to-face meeting for the transfer and analysis of some reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for server and network administration"
5/5
What do you like best about Remote Desktop Services?

You can connect easily from Linux, Windows, and MacOSX to any Windows server, I use the built-in MacOSX application to connect to servers that control client network infrastructure from a VPN to a local area IP and only from there it's possible to connect to Switches, Routers and the rest of the network core. With this design, it's very hard to get in unless you are the authorized user since it's several layers of authentication. Even if a layer is compromised unless all the others are breached too an attack can't break-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

Conflicting shortcuts but I think this is more a fault of Apple since command = windows some shortcuts are launched to MacOSX host instead of the remote machine, slightly annoying but easily solvable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Remote desktop services is the effective tool for working from home"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Remote Desktop Services?

Remote Desktop services is nowadays a really useful, efficient and rich in functions to work remotely such as file sharing which I consider is of a high level unlike other programs similar to this one with this function you can share files in RDS to different users of a shared device and move files easily from the machine to the devices of a client, allows you to record sessions in an easy and safe way which has helped us to improve our IT practices another point that I consider very positive are the integrations with which Desktop services has since it is a Microsoft product offers other tools such as chat, diagnostics and support systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

In the long time that I have been using this application I have had some problems that I consider are important for its operation firstly with the function of unattended access which is very useful for administrators because it allows us to enter a workstation without permissions however this function is very poor presents errors very often, the session transfer function is complicated and tedious, access outside a different network site is very unsafe unless you can use a VPN and to close the licensing strategy of Microsoft is complicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

The cost of this application has a high price evaluated since their functions and benefits that they grant towards the companies are expensive and not any company can afford it. the form of very genuine use and of great establishment at the time of the connections is what causes that its value increases much more and is more expensive .another detail is a little heavy this software since it contains the interface many available options that cause to put it a little slow the platform and it does not let work because it is overloaded or it does not respond the page.

"Easy way to login into any Windows remote server"
5/5
What do you like best about Remote Desktop Services?

Having a jump server easily available from any windows or MacOSX machine with a Gui and being able to use it as easily as if you were physically there. For convenience and security, it's a huge plus that any network deployment needing an extra layer of security can be accessed with a program coming directly from Microsoft and available from the App store of Microsoft store. it hardens the whole deployment and at the same time it's easy enough to use that is not a huge inconvenience.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

While I like it very much, a few details like Command and Windows key shortcuts sometimes interfering with each other make it a little annoying to use it in MacOSX but if you are using those commands you already know what you are doing and another way to fire what you need so it's not a big deal.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

When trying to maintain the course of the remote desktop service support, the additional advertising dialogs occupy a large part of the remote functionality panel, being completely saturated with publications referring to business products and services, which makes the system overloaded and begins to emit configuration and projection errors of immediate reach, where a technological efficiency check must be established.

"You want to work from home without moving Remote Desktop is your best option"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Remote Desktop Services?

Remote Desktop has a simple and fast interface where you can manage different remote desktop connections this program can get integrated into all versions of Windows which reduces its cost, has an excellent reputation within the business industry as it has existed for a long time and many users are familiar with its operation, has an RDS connection where you can see everything as if you were actually sitting on the computer this is extremely attractive to the user I also think it is a very useful alternative when a user wants to access a program without actually connecting to a server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Remote Desktop Services?

Despite being a wonderful program for Windows on Mac leaves much to be desired especially when trying an RDS connection this is not as smooth and fast what can be a problem to train users who use Mac, the reboot process is very slow and can be really tedious, I think they should enhance the speed when accessing a picture or watching a video finally the remote desktop service does not have a visible option to increase or decrease the size of the screen.

The remote user registration system presents an error in its access functionality, because when the client wants to enter the remote desktop platform the program disables the slot where the password is entered to access the assisted remote control service, evidencing a clear error in its disposition to enter the digital connection service of this software, making it more difficult to enter its programming.
