Pros

  • On demand remote access
  • Remote view right in the browser
  • Remote meetings

Cons

  • Free level should have automatic reconnect on reboot
  • Being a remote access only software pricing plans could be better
  • Branding should be allowed on lower plans

Return on Investment

  • The on-demand access is free - can't get a better ROI than that
  • Plans are relatively inexpensive - as long as you are not managing large amounts of devices
  • Having a go to remote access solution that enables clients to control access is priceless

Alternatives Considered
