What positive or negative impact (i.e. Return on Investment or ROI) has Splashtop had on your overall business objectives?

From 5 reviews

Reviewers indicate that Splashtop positively impacts business objectives by enhancing operational resilience, boosting employee productivity, and streamlining IT management. Two of five reviewers highlighted its critical role in establishing robust business continuity, enabling sustained operations even when physical offices are inaccessible due to events like inclement weather. This capability directly supports productivity, with two reviewers noting an increase in billable hours for professionals who can work remotely. Furthermore, the platform aids IT departments by providing tools that improve efficiency in managing systems and assisting users, a benefit also noted by two of five reviewers. These combined effects suggest that Splashtop offers a return on investment through improved uptime, enhanced workforce output, and optimized IT resource utilization.

Business Continuity

Splashtop has provided a solid piece of our Disaster Recovery Plan and backup systems. Prior to Splashtop, inclement weather would close the office and cease 95% of productivity, which could last a day or a week, sometimes multiple times annually. With Splashtop, it doesn't matter if the physical office is closed. As long as there's power, our employees can be 95% productive, instead, while being 100% remote.

Increased Productivity

However, since we're a practicing law firm, the billable hours for attorneys has increased around 15% since they can essentially work anytime/any day without coming to the office.

IT Operations Efficiency

The relief that Splashtop has provided the IT department through real-time office inventory, incredible tools for assisting users, deployment of policy, deployment of software, and remote access at anytime/anywhere is substantial.

Describe how you use Splashtop in your organization. What are the business problems the product addresses and what is the scope of your use case?

From 5 reviews

Organizations primarily leverage Splashtop to address critical needs for remote access and support, which in turn contributes to maintaining high levels of productivity. Four out of five reviewers indicate that the product is a key tool for IT departments, enabling them to efficiently manage virtual servers, deploy software, and provide immediate support to both in-office and remote users. Beyond IT support, three out of five reviewers highlight Splashtop's role in offering remote access flexibility for general staff, allowing employees to connect to their work computers from any location. This capability is particularly beneficial for ensuring business continuity, with two reviewers noting its positive impact on productivity during emergencies and its potential to directly influence business revenue through increased efficiency.

Remote Support

IT utilizes Splashtop for efficient virtual server access, software/policy deployments, and emergency SOS access for out-of-office users, both on desktop devices and mobile devices.

Remote Access Flexibility

Splashtop allows remote access flexibility for the entire staff, even though in-office is required most of the time.

Productivity and Efficiency

Splashtop offers a nearly 100% productivity level in emergency situations, should the office be closed from inclement weather or something similar.

How well does Splashtop meet your needs in terms of providing a secure remote access and support solution? Please describe how robust you think Splashtop security features like device verification, two-factor authentication, and industry stand encryption are.

From 5 reviews

Splashtop is generally perceived as a secure remote access and support solution, with reviewers primarily highlighting its robust security features. Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a significant strength, mentioned by 3 of 5 reviewers, who express confidence in its ability to secure equipment and access. While some organizations may find 2FA redundant due to existing domain-level authentication, its availability is still appreciated. Beyond specific features, overall security satisfaction is also positive, with 2 of 5 reviewers indicating that Splashtop meets their established security requirements and offers ease of use. The sentiment across the reviews suggests that Splashtop provides a dependable foundation for secure remote operations.

Two-factor authentication

I think Splashtop's security features are pretty robust, but there are quite a few options we don't utilize. For example, we have 2FA integrated with our domain network, so turning it on for all users would be very redundant for every connection. They would have to do 2FA twice, but it's still nice to know that others can utilize the Splashtop offering if they need to.

Overall security satisfaction

The security is ok but definitely very easy to use

Please describe your overall onboarding experience with Splashtop. How quickly were you able to get up and running with Splashtop’s secure remote access and support solution?

From 5 reviews

Splashtop's onboarding process is consistently described as straightforward and efficient, enabling users to rapidly deploy and utilize the secure remote access solution. The ease of setting up the system is a prominent theme, with 4 out of 5 reviewers specifically highlighting its simplicity, often describing it as a "seamless process" that felt remarkably easy. This streamlined experience extends to user training and adoption, which 3 out of 5 reviewers found to be uncomplicated, noting that employees quickly grasp how to use the program. Additionally, the initial sales interaction was perceived positively by 2 out of 5 reviewers, who appreciated the quick and efficient communication, often handled effectively through email, contributing to a hassle-free start.

Ease of Setup

Onboarding was so easy that it almost seemed too easy.

User Training and Adoption

I found it easy to initiate the process and train my colleagues on how to use the program.

Sales Interaction

I did a trial to test things out, and within a few emails with someone in sales, we had what we wanted squared away.

Please provide some detailed examples of areas where Splashtop has room for improvement.

From 5 reviews

Reviewers identified several areas where Splashtop could enhance its functionality and user experience, primarily focusing on security integration, connection reliability, and broader feature development. A significant concern for 2 of 5 reviewers centered on the antivirus monitoring capabilities, specifically the lack of flexibility to exclude non-company-owned devices from security scans, which can lead to privacy issues or false positives. This suggests a need for more granular control over security features. Furthermore, connection stability and speed were cited as areas needing improvement by 2 of 5 reviewers, who occasionally experienced disconnections or desired faster remote access. Beyond these specific issues, a broader desire for feature enhancements was expressed by 3 of 5 reviewers. These suggestions included more extensive integrations with various antivirus XDRs, the implementation of administrator alerts for program logins and device access, and additional tools to support Windows Updates. These observations collectively indicate that while Splashtop provides core functionality, users are seeking more advanced controls, enhanced performance, and deeper integration capabilities to optimize their remote support and management workflows.

Antivirus Integration and Monitoring

It would be really great if PCs or devices could be excluded from the antivirus monitoring of Splashtop. For example, some employees use the Splashtop Streamer on home PCs (not owned by the company), so they can remote to their home machines while at the office. Occasionally, Splashtop will report threats to a home user PC that are false or breach personal privacy. Then, those get logged with the device forever. The ability to have IT Admins command Splashtop to ignore device security would be very welcomed.

Connection Stability and Speed

Faster connection at times in to a remote computer

Feature Requests and Improvements

I would like to see an integration with a wider variety of antivirus XDRs.
