Overall Satisfaction with Splashtop Enterprise

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm using Splashtop to work remotely from home and access my work computer. I am a video editor so I needed local access to our on-property server. Splashtop allows me to remotely access and work from the server with audio and very little if no delays.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It allows me to use remote audio. Many other screen-sharing platforms don't give you local access to audio.
It uses very little processing power on the computer you're physically using.

Cons

There are times it'll randomly kick you out, but for the most part it's very reliable.
To remotely restart your computer you need to have Splashtop installed on another computer on the same network.

Return on Investment

It's allowed me to work remotely.
My happiness at being able to accomplish last minute projects remotely.

Support Rating

So far, I haven't had any issues that I've needed to reach out to support for.

Products Replaced

Yes - I replaced Splashtop with TeamViewer because I needed audio to transfer remotely and Splashtop allows that.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a video editor, I use it to remotely connect to my work computer that is on the same network as our server, which works well. There are times when both connections need to be reset, which is a little annoying but hasn't hindered anything major so far.
