With our new Virtual Desktop Service, you can use a variety of devices to access your remote desktop using three options provided to you in a signup email. Let`s review the advantages and disadvantages of each option.
| Web link / Control Panel | RDP | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to access | One click instantly connects | Using regular RDP requires an additional step |
| Access via Windows computers | You only need a modern browser for instant access | You only need an RDP client that is already installed on all Windows computers, and available for download on Apple and Android devices. |
| Access via peripheral devices | Accessible across all platforms | Available on Google Play store and Apple store for free |
| Traffic | Fully encrypted | Fully encrypted |
| Graphics quality | Graphics and images are not as crisp as RDP | Visually, there is no difference between working on local machines and in the cloud (great graphics, crisp images, and text) |
| File exchange | Move single files via an additional menu | Full integration — copy text, images, and files from your local machine and paste it into the cloud PC and vice versa. |
| Printing | Printing isn't fully integrated, and printers aren't available from printing menu options | Fully integrated printing - USB printers are available as a printing option when invoking the print menu in the cloud |
| Sound integration | There is no sound integration | Fully integrated sound and microphone, including support for Skype and Zoom calls |
