## Reviews

> **Sonny** | *March 21, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Apple remote desktop is a very helpful tool
> 
> **Cons**: I don't love the user interface used here

-----

### "Great software \!\!\!" — 4.0/5

> **April** | *September 2, 2022* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: That I have control of all the Mac that is on my network. Also the fact that I can work on more then one at a time.
> 
> **Cons**: There is really anything I don’t like about this software. I am sad that the speed is slow but it’s to be expected.
> 
> My overall experience with this software has been really good and I would recommend this software.

### "Gets the job done when you can't be there in person\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 29, 2023* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and general straightforward nature of the software.  Of course, if you have to use it from home, the firewall rules have to be worked out, but that's not really the fault of the software.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be nice if there was Audio re-direction.  Also it would be good if Apple would put of an Apple Remote Desktop all for Windows Computers... Sure, you can use VNC, but it would be better to have an Apple Software Version designed to work well with Apple computers.  But I understand if Apple doesn't want to play well with others.
> 
> Most of my co-workers use Apple computers while I use Windows.  Apple Remote desktop works fine for them (though they want audio re-direction).  I use VNC to get into those Apple Computers, which just barely gets the job done.  But it works well for what it is.

### "Better remote management" — 5.0/5

> **Jacob** | *December 11, 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I’m actually a certified Apple Mac technician so we had to learn how to use the software and I personally use the software once a image the server that we kept in the back and I did some performance updates as well as some other hardware updates to it and this is a software that we used to manager
> 
> **Cons**: Unfortunately, I did have to do a quite a few different updates from the Apple support page in order to get the software to run on it again however, once I did get it running, I have to admit it ran pretty well
> 
> This software kind of requires the fact that you need to have a good Internet connection, because if not speech can be kind of slow, but that’s to be expected with this type of software, I’d have to say that the design management of it was user-friendly enough that I could learn how to do it, as well as showing other people how to do it

### "Best of Apple Remote Desktop" — 5.0/5

> **Aldrin Sean** | *February 25, 2023* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Apple Far off Work area assists me with interfacing no sweat. Assuming there are issues or conversations that should be led through Distant Work area, this program is the most appropriate.
> 
> **Cons**: I have utilized it, particularly during the pandemic, yet in addition during times while voyaging may not be as doable, as well as when there is a pressing gathering that is occurring.
> 
> I use it to remotely control Macintosh. It permits me significantly more command over Zoom Remote or Microsoft Distant Work area in robotization.
