    Great way to remotely connect with your customers when needed.

    Date: Sep 09 2022
    Summary

    Since I started using this platform I noticed that it was having quite positive results, I have been using it in my company for more than a year, and I have noticed that I have been able to connect to the computers of each of my employees without any kind of problem, in addition, this platform has also been key to connecting remotely with customers when necessary. This platform has really brought me a significantly good experience, since I started using it I noticed how I could connect remotely with my colleagues without any interruption, in addition, we could interact while making this remote connection. I loved the experience I had with this platform, I consider that it offers a fairly fluid experience at all times, in addition, any operating system works and you can install it within your mobile device to connect remotely to your computer using your mobile phone. I hope that this experience continues for much longer, I will continue to use it to connect remotely with my employees to help solve all kinds of activities.

    Positive

    Chrome Remote Desktop is an excellent service to connect remotely with any computer, one of the main things I like about this platform is the video quality, also, despite having a much higher video quality than other platforms, it does not consume a lot of resources of the computer when it works, another thing that I like about this platform is that you can transfer all kinds of files quite quickly, no matter how many files you are transmitting simultaneously, equally the transfer of files from each connection remote is pretty fast. Lastly, I also loved that during each life when you can interact with the other person who is on the other computer through a camera, you can activate the camera whenever you want, you can also talk to that person through an audio stream, plus methods of communication are quite effective and stable at all times. I loved the whole platform, it's pretty smooth and comes installed on Chrome OS computers.

    Negative

    It has never presented any type of failure with this platform, I have no complaints because it has behaved excellently at all times, in addition, to use it you do not have to pay additional fees, you only have to pay additional fees if you want to access much more complete functions that optimize the experience of the remote connection. I loved the entire platform, I was really impressed with its effectiveness in the work area, it is also impressive how this platform does not have any kind of flaws, its relatively low consumption and it can make a remote connection without the need to share your address network.

    Hassle free remote desktop

    Good General Remote Desktop Software

    Date: Jun 27 2020
    Summary

    I've used Chrome Remote Desktop primarily to provide "tech support" for family members and to configure/access remote resources that are inaccessible locally. For example - My parents were having issues with their voip phone system. I was able to connect, troubleshoot and remotely reboot the device from 800 miles away. I'm not sure it is sufficiently feature packed to be used in a commercial setting. The application is also running in the background of Chrome so uses system resources (like most addons).

    Positive

    Free! Integrates tightly with Chrome Browser and Chrome OS. Good lightweight remote access to desktops and remote resources. Requires little configuration if you are accessing an occupied remote machine.

    Negative

    Application must be configured to properly connect without someone on the other end to allow the connection. There is limited file transfer and printing capabilities (although Google Cloud Print has a solution).
