Practical guides for remote work, remote access and remote desktop software

Learn how remote access works, how to work securely from anywhere, what to look for in remote desktop software, and how to choose the right tools for remote work and technical support.

Choosing the Right Remote Access Tools

Remote-access needs differ when you work from home, connect to your own computers, help customers, administer IT systems, or deliver training and demonstrations. Start by defining who needs access, to which devices, and whether someone will be present at the remote computer.

When comparing tools, consider ease of use, connection performance, security, file transfer, unattended access and simultaneous connections. Platform support and licensing also matter: the right choice should fit the computers, people and working practices you actually have.
