Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Reviews

In a way, we have some virtual solutions, at least RDS from Microsoft Hyper V. That's what we're using today, but not for everyone. Some people do use it. It's more like remote desktop. It's been a long time, at least since Windows Services 2008 or around 2010. 

Today, most of our users, among three or four companies sharing software like the ERP system, work on individual workstations or laptops. That's really the main use across the companies today, however, it would sometimes make sense to look at remote Desktop or VDI. My impression is that most solutions, especially today, make sense for large corporations with two thousand seats or more. 

So far, we have not used anything besides remote Desktop for, for example, accountants working from various locations or not based in our offices. That's really how we do it today.

The main benefit, is that it's easy for us to get the same desktop and do things in the same way regardless of our location. However, it would sometimes make sense to look at remote Desktop or VDI. My impression is that most of the solutions, especially today, make sense for large corporations with 2000 seats or more. So far, we have not used anything besides remote Desktop.

We use it primarily to provide virtual desktops to our end users, which allow them to access email, word processing, and other essential applications.

I like its familiarity. If you grew up Office environment, we use Outlook and software and everything, it's just familiar. Other than the initial login through the thin client, you don't even realize that you're on the virtual desktop. So it's just familiarity and ease of use.

It allows employees to log on to corporate resources remotely. But, we don't actually use the application publishing feature.

My current use case for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is connecting to services which are specific to a remote location because I am working from India. There are times that I need to connect to those services, so via Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, I access that system because I need to connect to VPN. Some services are specific to a particular location and shouldn't be accessed here, so I connect to that Remote Desktop to use it. It's mainly for support and management activities.

I find the ease of use of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services most valuable, as it allows me to have remote access and connect securely. Another valuable feature is file transfers, as it enables me to move files between local and remote machines efficiently.

The main benefits that Microsoft Remote Desktop Services provide to me include streamlining my working process, ensuring security, and offering flexibility to connect to virtual desktops and apps from multiple devices.

My company uses the capabilities of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services to connect with Windows from home.

I have never faced any issues working with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. You can say that the tool has remote access functionalities that every system or network admin uses. In some case scenarios, we also get the end user to use Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. The tool is simple to use and simple to deploy.

We have a lot of Microsoft services configured for different applications. We use the solution to access them.

Since the tool has a graphical user interface, it's easier for us to access the server. It's easier to connect to someone and explain it to them. It is easy to share and explain the features of the solution.

It's helped with cutting costs and making access easier. People can work remotely using this product. For remote billing, it's working well. 

The ability to access the computer from a remote location is great. With the Windows Server as a client, we can use more than one computer at a time.

The initial setup is simple. 

It's a stable solution.

You can scale the product.

We use it for file repositories, project sharing with Teams, and most of our business intelligence work. We manage around 30 to 40 projects using these resources, mainly on SharePoint.

We use SharePoint here since we're a public university. We have access to all Microsoft platforms. Also, we use Google for email, but they're restricting access for public universities, so we're mostly migrating to Microsoft.

It works well and supports remote work. People can work from home and easily share information. The platform is robust enough for our needs.
