Apache Guacamole vs. RemotePC

Apache Guacamole is well suited for providing remote access and controlling administrative servers/devices in small to medium-scale deployments. Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, to use it you only need any modern web browser. In my opinion, the developers' choice to use Tomcat/Java made the application somewhat heavyweight with too many dependencies. If we manage to resolve the stability issues we would likely use it for employees' access to their workstations company-wide.

Being able to use my office computer from any other computer with the RemotePC software seamlessly. Having the ability to control and access software and hardware just like working from my office computer. On the other side, the printing capabilities can be improved to allow for better remote printing. Otherwise the system works very well

• Easy setup, Within minutes of Installation I was up and running
• Security - OTP 2-Factor authentication, passed security testing.
• Performance - Though I have not fully pushed the boundary it performs as if I was sitting at my desk at home from an Android tablet in the parking lot of work.
• Value - We all have taken a gamble when buying a product. This is one of the purchases that I am actually happy with. It is a great value for what you get.

• We have experienced some stability problems (mostly Tomcat related).
• The interface could be a little more user-friendly.
• Certain keyboard shortcuts used by Guacamole GUI are impossible to use in the Firefox browser in out-of-the-box configuration.

Incentivized

• long waiting time to initiate connection compare to competitors
• total lack of keyboard translation between macOS - Windows. No keyboard configuration options at all. I don't recommend macOS users, and non-english keyboard layout users.
• Key combination transfer doesn't work or behaves strange

I still find value in this tool. If I needed to increase computers supported, I would need to revaluate pricing concerns.

At this point I have no issue with RemotePC's overall usability. It continues to meet my needs for what is required for me to run my business. I would like to see continued improvements with RemotePC's allowing me to continue to work remotely. Waking or starting the computer would be a plus.
