Pros
- VNC Connect offers remote access to your computer from any location using different devices like laptops, tablets, or smartphones. It's like having a remote control for your own machine.
- The tool is relatively easy to set up with its combined installer for the Viewer and Server components.
- It provides additional features beyond just viewing your desktop remotely such as printing and transferring files.
- There's robust security in place including end-to-end encryption of all connections, unique passwords, 2-step verification, customizable permissions, connection approval system and an audit log option.
- Despite being subscription-based, it has a free tier that allows access to up to five computers by three users simultaneously.
Cons
- While VNC Connect provides various security options, certain features are exclusive to the Enterprise Subscription, requiring an additional cost.
- It lacks some features available in competing internet and network products, though specific details aren't provided in the feedback.
- Tech-savvy or experienced users may find VNC Connect straightforward; however, first-time users could find setup challenging, as it involves installing separate software on both the controlling computer (Viewer) and the target computer (Server).
- VNC Connect does not offer a permanently free version; after a 14-day trial, continued usage requires subscribing to one of their paid plans.
- Information about the level of customer support available is unclear, potentially posing difficulties if timely assistance is needed during setup or use.
