Great Windows built in remote access app
- RDP's main impact on our ROI has been positive as it is quick to connect to the PC/Server.
Work remotely from home or anywhere
- Great ROI as our one the road users can access company data and not have to call in and ask for information.
- Users can work from home getting used to better employees because now physical employee location does not matter.
Remote Desktop Services -- powerful, capable, flexible, but also costly and complicated
- Positive: In production facilities with particulate debris in the air, we can use cheap basic computers with no fans, since they only need to display remote resources.
- Positive: Users get the same desktop experience from any device or location.
- Positive: Admins can easily access servers and other systems without any additional third-party software or licensing.
Remote Desktop Services is something that just works
- Remote Desktop was built in for local machines, so that was a no brainer.
- When running a Terminal server the calls can get expensive so we try to limit who has access to it at a given time.
- Overall RDS has helped us provide services and programs to our users with relative ease.
- The only "negative" impact is that users can have a bit of difficulty understanding how RDS works and what it means to access a remote desktop, but that isn't any fault of the program, it just takes a little extra training for users.
Remote Desktop Serves: The Good, the bad and the ugly.
- With the ability to access systems to/from anywhere, downtime is greatly reduced.
- Staff no longer has to drive in after hours or on weekends for maintenance.
- Remote systems can be managed without a road trip.
Best essential software to connect to remote Desktop
- Remote Desktop Services has good impact in meeting 100 percent of the objectives laid by our Enterprise of 1000 employees.
- Return of imvestment is measured in return of uninterrupted services and it can be termed as 100 percent
- Remote Desktop Services had no negative impacts on the business
Remote Desktop Services Makes The Connection
- Remote Desktop Services has had a major positive ROI impact at our firm. There were a number of times when our staff was traveling abroad to business meetings with a laptop that had missing presentations. But once they had internet access, a Remote Desktop Services connection is established, and presentation data can now be shown directly from their laptops as if theyr'e sitting in our office.
- Remote Desktop Services has made it possible for Mac staff users to use their computing devices to access our network system to run Windows applications and access all our network data.
- Remote Desktop Services has made it possible for our staff to successfully work remotely from outside the office. There were many occasions when emergencies came up which prevented staff from coming into the office to work. But as long as they have a computer with an internet connection, they used Remote Desktop Services to connect to our terminal server and successfully ran the programs to modify data files on the network without losing a beat.

A World Driven By RemoteApp
- RDS is cheaper over Citrix and without the extra overhead license cost and support.
- RDS provides a single store of published line of business applications for all end-users which makes it easy and convenient.
Microsoft RDS - Relatively Decent Solution...
- Reduced management of applications sets for workstations - because the applications are centralized to a couple of devices rather than the user workstations, updating these applications requires less testing and less hours worked.
- Certain applications work better when inside the data center next to their database or application server - performance and stability increases for those applications mean more effective workers.
- Lower instances of support calls for applications - because the applications are not reliant on the user's workstation to be functioning as expected, we see less calls related to these applications.
