Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Cloud Ops Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.0I used Microsoft Remote Desktop Services on‑prem for secure, country‑restricted data, keeping it on the server for strong compliance. It’s stable and scales, but setup, networking, and licensing are complex and costly; Microsoft support is slow, and it’s end‑of‑life.
SR SYSTEM ENGINEER at a retailer with 11-50 employees5.0I use Microsoft Remote Desktop Services to connect to Windows servers and PCs, finding its performance excellent, saving me time and effort. It's stable, scalable, and free with Windows, though it needs a Control + Alt + Delete button.
Lead Engineer Senior Forntend Developer at Adobe4.5I value Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for enabling seamless remote access to my office system from anywhere, improving work-life balance and organizational flexibility. It's stable and scalable, though initial setup could be simpler with better documentation and an enhanced UI.
Sr. Compliance Analyst at a computer software company with 51-200 employees4.5I've used Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for five years to securely access remote environments, appreciating its reliability, integration, and ease of use, though licensing can be confusing and single session limitations could be improved.
technology consultant at Bank of America4.5I've used Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for three years to remotely access servers and validate certificates, which has boosted productivity and reduced support tickets; however, better integration with Teams and improved connection reliability would be beneficial.
Head Of Product & Engineering (Cpto) at a real estate/law firm with 11-50 employees5.0I highly recommend Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for its strong Windows integration, hardware support, security, and scalability. It significantly improved our time to market. My main issue is the complex licensing.
System Engineer, Grid Software MEA at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.5I use Microsoft Remote Desktop Services to access and restart customer servers remotely. It’s stable, secure, and boosts productivity and response times across time zones. Improvements: better external monitor full-screen support, easier login saving, and a more modern interface.
Managing Director4.0I find Microsoft Remote Desktop Services stable and invaluable for remote assistance and server access, particularly its easy VPN connectivity which boosts efficiency and saves time. While integrated with Windows, I desire built-in VPN-less configuration.
