Great program to use

I would say my overall experience using chrome remote desktop has been highly satisfactory.

Pros

I'm able to easily connect to my mom's desktop from my laptop (we live in different states) and I'm able to help her figure out whatever problem she is having.

Cons

The interface of the program can be either tricky or confusing at times, but nothing too horrible.

The most complete browser

In practice the browser serves me very well in 98% of cases, very affordable, easy to navigate, a good performance on PC and mobile, the company has adapted well to the latest changes.

Pros

I'm Brazilian and the browser helps me translate foreign sites, so the browser has already earned many points with me for the help that is given when translating to several languages, in the company the browser is 100% sought after for this function, because we make sales out of Brazil.

Cons

It is an easy browser to handle, but still with basic functions, the support for IT has grown considerably, but nevertheless leaves to be desired in the issue of line management that is still considered simple-minded.

Alternatives Considered

Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Opera

Reasons for Switching to Chrome Remote Desktop

Already used on the PC of my home, for being easy to use and have experience, I found a good choice to keep it in the company as the main browser.

Any desktop anywhere

The software is exactly what any office personal should keep in their phones. But now computers are transforming to and developing new software to be use in your phones in a sync format. I see this software becoming obsolete soon.

Pros

I just loved reaching my desktop from anywhere. That was it's only real function.

Cons

Didn't find anything I didn't like. It's a good software for what you needed for.

Awesome remote access solution!

Super easy to use and easy to implement!

Cons

Sometimes the remote key (especially on keyboard combinations) passthrough can be a bit wonky.

Two Thumbs up for Chrome Remote Desktop

As a free app, you cannot go wrong. I always recommend Chrome Remote Desktop for its ease of use and zero cost.

Pros

The app proved invaluable for collaboration with colleagues during COVID. I use the app as a teaching app for Quickbooks. The app has worked flawlessly in the many, many years I have used it (over $10 years)

Cons

I wish there was the ability to print at the location. I often access my home computer at work and want to print what I have accessed and there is not that function. I have to save as a pdf and email the document to myself.

With normal updates and a solid spotlight on security, Chrome has acquired a critical client base around the world.

Cons

No cons for me as per my overall experience.

A better choice for remote use.

Pros

I liked the ease of use and convenience of Chrome Remote Desktop software. It is a simple and straightforward way to access my computer remotely from any other device. The remote access feature allows me to access my computer from anywhere, anytime, and with minimal setup. Additionally, I appreciate the secure connection and encryption that this software provides, giving me peace of mind that my data is safe.

Cons

However, I didn't like that this software requires a Google account to access the remote connection. This adds a layer of complexity and can be inconvenient for users who do not have a Google account. Additionally, I found that the connection can be slow or laggy at times, making it difficult to use. There are also limits on the amount of time the remote connection can be used without loss of connection.

Chrome Remote Desktop Review

Good experienced. Satisfied user. It is simple, it can do what it claims to do, the software can help its target users.

Pros

The software has decent, simple, and intuitive user interface which makes it easy to navigate. It has enough features to do its main function, desktop can be monitored and remotely used. Also, mobile devices can also used to access files on the computer. The buttons are responsive and did not encounter any annoying bugs.

Cons

I thinks there's still room for improvement for everything. This software is already helpful to its users, the developer can improve it more. I can't think a single reason of not liking the software.

It's Free

Serves the minimal purpose I need.

Pros

It's free. There are obvious flaws and things that make it difficult to use on a regular basis, but it works well for being free.

Cons

Not something you could use for a prolonged period of time. Great to log in, check something out, and log out.

Awesome for personal use

This is super easy to use and setup. I recommend it to friends all the time, as it allows easy and secure access very quickly and is free.

Pros

I use this very regularly with my personal desktop when I am not at home. Most often using just my phone to connect and run thru a task on my machine. It works very well even with three screens on a little phone. It is very easy to move between screens and accomplish what I need.

Cons

Response time is a bit delayed sometimes, but really that is to be expected with a software like this.

Chrome Remote Desktop is not good.

Horrible, I would never recommend anyone to use it. The software and interface is buggy and is hard to connect with.

Pros

I honestly can't say I liked that much about Chrome Remote Desktop. The only upside per say, is that it's free.

Cons

It's very buggy, slow, and hard to use. There are so many more softwares that are also free that I'd rather use any day over this one.
