Splashtop is the best multi-user remote communication solution for managed service providers, IT professionals and support staff. The software provides access to multiple devices, file transfer, remote printing, chat, the ability to create groups and manage users within them. Splashtop is available in both cloud and desktop versions.
Splashtop connects to systems using a nine-digit session code and downloaded software. The solution also supports chat and allows users to print documents to remote devices.
Availability of quite expensive paid add-ons to improve the utility
Competitors have more feature-rich and high-performance applications
Splashtop has two differently priced plans that differ in their functionality. Splashtop provides essential remote access features such as remote printing, device-to-device messaging, session recording, and file and other data transfer. Here are some other features of Splashtop that make it a great choice for teams working remotely.
Splashtop offers the ability to remotely wake up and reboot devices. This is great for accessing and managing remote computers when you're in the office, or office computers when you're at home. But for remote wake-up to work, the remote computer must be connected to a LAN cable, it must support Wake-on-LAN (WOL), and another device on the same network must be turned on. Although these steps may seem redundant, they are standard for this type of connection.
Navigating with multiple monitors is one way for teams to work together successfully, and Splashtop offers this in several ways. For example, you can view multiple remote screens simultaneously. We've noticed that this feature is very common among competitors. However, Splashtop allows users to view different systems with multiple monitors, including multi-to-one and multi-to-multi.
In addition, the software allows two team members to remotely access the same computer at the same time. This can be important for hybrid teams that collaborate on projects or presentations from different locations. Not all of the remote access solutions we reviewed have this capability.
When your team connects various office and home devices, a secure connection is key. Splashtop offers all the standard security settings, such as two-factor authentication, TLS 1.2 protocol with 256-bit AES encryption, device authentication, and multi-level password protection. Splashtop also has several control settings to help you manage security levels, such as screen mute and auto-lock, session idle timeouts, copy and paste controls, file transfer controls, and remote print controls.
To summarize, I would like to say that Splashtop is one of the best programs in the software market in terms of value for money. It has the broadest functionality, stable connectivity and exceptional reliability, which makes it a good competitor to other programs and excellent software for those who need to communicate with a PC remotely.
