My impression completely changed when Microsoft and Google introduced their own Remote Desktop apps for web and mobile a few years back. It was simply not the kind of productivity apps that I wanted or even care about. and almost all of them failed to impress me. Then, with the advent of the smartphone era, I tried remote desktop apps for mobile like Splashtop, PocketCloud, LogMeIn,, and TeamViewer, etc. But I was least interested in trying those remote desktop connection managers as it was of no use to me. It was a terrible experience and never worked for me as it involved quite a few network settings and protocols - which I still don’t understand much.Īnd there were few free and premium remote desktop connection managers like LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, etc. There was a time when I (and probably you) struggled with Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop software on a Windows PC to remotely access someone else’s computer.
