How is RemotePC different from Microsoft Remote Desktop?

RemotePC is easy to install, simple to use, and extremely secure. Key differences between RemotePC and Microsoft Remote Desktop are as follows:
  • For remote access outside the local network, Microsoft Remote Desktop requires a static (permanent) IP address, which RemotePC does not.

  • Microsoft Remote Desktop is difficult to set up. With RemotePC, you can set and start your remote access session in less than a minute.

How is RemotePC different from VPN?

The key differences between RemotePC and VPN are:
  • VPN needs the software to be installed and maintained by a network administrator. This is costly to buy and set up. Firewalls on the remote LAN must be configured to accept VPN connections. With RemotePC, no special configurations are required, since the application is firewall friendly.

  • VPN gives the local computer a connection to the remote LAN, but does not connect you directly to the remote computer, unlike RemotePC. Performance is typically poor for VPN access to resources over the remote LAN, when attempting file transfers or accessing remote files directly.

  • The VPN client software must be configured manually and usually requires some set up options dictated by the network administrator.
