Microsoft Remote Desktop Services Reviews

We are using Microsoft Remote Desktop Services in one of our departments and we connect to our applications through this solution remotely.

The performance is one of the main features of this solution.

In a future release, they could improve by providing more advanced technology and better buffering for if the connection is degraded or lost. For example, if I am connected on my LAN or WAN, and there is any latency in the network while I am connected it will stay connected for one or two minutes. Without any buffering, the connection will be disconnected, and the work is lost.

I have been using this solution for approximately six years.

The stability is good.

We have found the solution to be scalable.

We have 500 users using this solution in my organization.

Our IT team of three engineers did the implementation of this solution and they also provide the maintenance.

We are in the process of testing whether this solution will operate on a system with low RAM.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate Microsoft Remote Desktop Services an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to test the conductivity from the user to the server equipment.

The most valuable features of the solution are ease of use and the simple environment.

There could be some improvement in the integration of the solution.

I have used the solution for approximately one year.

The solution is very stable.

I have found the solution scalable. We have approximately four people using this solution in my organization.

The installation is easy and the full deployment takes approximately eight hours.

The solution works very well for us and I recommend it to others.

I rate Microsoft Remote Desktop Services an eight out of ten.

We are using Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for small-scale virtual desktop applications. It is utilized for normal desktop usage.

This solution saves us time and money because running applications directly on the server means that we can use lower-priced, entry-level computers for the users.

The most valuable feature is performance. We run all of our applications on the server and access them using this product, which is must faster than upgrading all of the desktops.

It could be made simpler from a management perspective.

It should be easier to set it up for desktop printing.

We have been using Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for about five years. When we started using this product, it was called Terminal Services.

This product is quite stable and we have never had any problems with it.

Given our usage, we have not had to deal with scaling this product.

I've worked with VMware Horizon and Citrix before.

VMware Horizon is easier to manage, although the Microsoft product is easier to install than other solutions.

The initial setup is relatively easy. In that regard, Microsoft is easier to install than the VMware ones that I've worked with, as well as Citrix.

We set everything up ourselves and I haven't had the need to consult anybody else for technical support.

The pricing could always be improved.

Overall, this product works well, it is fine for the purpose that we use it, and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I am using this product to do my PowerPoint presentations, keep my records, and perform my database queries.

I also use it for integration.

Everything is really good and it works well.

It has all of the features, for example, Microsoft Office, and PowerPoint. It integrates well between Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel, where you can edit the PowerPoint presentation in Excel. It's a feature of integration.

The user interface needs improvement.

I have been using this solution for ten years.

This solution is stable. It works well.

We have approximately 5,000 users in our organization.

I have not used technical support yet.

Previously, I did not use another product. I have only used Microsoft.

The initial setup was easy, I did it from scratch. 

It took 15 minutes to deploy.

We have technical people to maintain this product and we contact Microsoft whenever we need to.

I implemented this solution myself.

It's not an expensive product.

I plan to use this product in the future. It's something that is important in my life.

Most of my friends use this product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for application virtualization, actual application location, and location setting.

The most valuable feature is ease of use.

While it's not expensive, the pricing could always be better.

I would like to see a web-based interface, instead of client installation to refresh the UI through HTML.

When comparing with other vendors offering applications not with a client module, but through the web through HTML, this should be the next step for Microsoft.

I have been using Remote Desktop Services for six years.

This is a stable solution and we have not experienced any issues.

We have not had any issues with scalability.

We have approximately 200 people using office applications centers.

We have not contacted technical support. We have experts locally to assist us with the box app in Microsoft. We were not faced with any serious problems.

It's not an expensive solution.

We are using a lot of Microsoft technologies. We have also tested their virtual desktop on Azure.

I would rate Microsoft Remote Desktop Services an eight out of ten.

We primarily use this product for application virtualization and application sharing.

The most valuable feature is the ease of use.

I would like to be able to access the remote desktop using a web-based interface, rather than having to use the client.

I have been working with Microsoft Remote Desktop Services for six years.

We have no trouble with stability at the moment.

This is a scalable product. We have about 200 people who are using Office applications.

We have local Microsoft technical support and we have never faced any serious problems.

I have used similar products by different vendors and the difference between Microsoft and the others is the client. Microsoft needs to have the client installed, whereas other vendors use a web-based interface.

Although not an expensive product, pricing is always something that can be improved.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are a solution integrator and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services is one of the products that we have been implementing for our clients. This software provides a Windows 10 desktop on a virtual machine.

It's a multi-session VDI solution that allows people to work from home. It allows users to access company resources and applications, which is important because we don't want them using their personal home networks to access corporate devices. This helps prevent problems such as the introduction of a computer virus from home to office.

The most valuable feature is the remote application access. You can update applications and assign them to different groups of users. For example, one user might require Microsoft Visio, whereas another user does not require it. Access can be granted by segmenting users into different groups.

There are problems with using Microsoft Teams within a virtual desktop on a mobile device. Specifically, if you are using Teams and conferencing, then there is no microphone capability. To be clear, if you install Teams directly on your mobile device then it will work. However, if you use it as an application within the virtual desktop that is running on the mobile device, it does not work. This is something that needs to be fixed.

I have been working with RDS for about three years.

Generally, this solution is stable.

Scalability-wise, it is very good. There is auto-scaling, so if there are more users required then Azure will help you to automatically manage it. In addition, it is HA, so I think that the overall scalability is pretty good.

I have not been in contact with technical support. There is a good community of people who write about Microsoft solutions in blogs, which is helpful.

Setting up the basic service is quite simple. It's more of managing your Windows image, such as a Windows 10 image, which probably requires some expertise. It is very fast to deploy and you can have everything ready within a day.

The setup is quite clear and you don't need a team to do it. All of the instructions are available on the internet and because it's a Microsoft solution, there are many blogs available with the steps for you to follow.

It will probably cost about $500 USD to get the resources set up in the cloud.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to first ensure that the network is set up properly. The applications need to be set up properly because if the applications are being used on-premises, but the virtual machines are stored in the cloud, then you will incur additional charges for accessing them.

This is a good solution, although it is still new compared to some other remote desktop services that have been out there for a very long time. It still has room for improvement such as accessing the microphone for Android remote access. Because of this, using it on an Android device may not be the best choice.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

In terms of the valuable features, I like the profile, the new version is really good.

The DB card needs improvement. I have a lot of experience with other competitors and Citrix is better than VMware and Microsoft. Citrix has more extensive features. 

I have been using this solution since 2003.

I haven't had to reach out to support. 

The pricing is fair. Our customers are satisfied. 

I would rate Microsoft Remote Desktop Services a seven out of ten. 

In the next release, there should be one management console to manage all of the servers and rules. That would be a good improvement. 

It also needs a better tool for monitoring. We need to test the user experience.
