I've only had to deal with it once. Because of the custom package we have, a white-label package, I can only think of one issue maybe six or seven years ago. I don't even remember what it was. At that time, I think they were pretty responsive. Very few companies offer phone support anymore; everyone's gone the way of email responses. I'm having that problem with CorelDRAW right now, and I'm waiting three weeks for a technician. So it's a good thing it's not important. Are the customer service and support good? For me, they're as good as anybody else, maybe not as good as some companies, but probably better than most. We deal with HP, IBM, HCL. Some companies only offer email support, and you have to wait for a response. I'm trying to remember the last time I interacted with Splashtop support. They do give you an answer. On a scale of one to ten, they're nine plus. You rarely have to use them, but I'm satisfied when you do.

Splashtop Remote Support is my main product, and I use it daily. Its main function is to control systems, which is essential remotely. Additionally, it has useful features such as chat functionality, file transfer, and the ability to add notes with information about a computer or server. Despite being simple software, it is very useful and valuable. The tool is very efficient because it allows remote control without user permission on the other side, which is useful for servers and various systems. For security, it can also request user permission for remote control, ensuring secure access. It lets you manage dedicated users, providing them with remote control with multi-factor authentication. For me, this tool is perfect.

I have also worked with TeamViewer to provide remote support, and I find that Splashtop is better. It's more stable. With TeamViewer, the version changes, and I get a new surprise every three weeks. TeamViewer has another problem when there is a disparity between versions. For example, if you are using version 11 and they're at version 15 then you can't even connect. A professional license with TeamViewer is not perpetual and it is a costly license. I think that the minimum is approximately $1,400 to $1,500 per year for technicians. If you purchase the solution outright and are using an older version when they release new features, you do not get them. Generally speaking, TeamViewer is a good product, but it is expensive. In contrast, Splashtop is a really good product and it's not so expensive. From a product comparison point of view, I would rate TeamViewer a seven out of ten. I also have experience with VNC Connect, which uses a client-server to browse or share the end user's screen. We used to use DualDesk at the company, but it doesn't support Macs. Also, it doesn't have mobile device support. For example, if someone calls me when I'm on the road then I can't pull over and assist them with my Android tablet. I can't be effective because I can't access anything. With Splashtop, I am able to stop what I'm doing, take over their computer with my tablet, and fix the problem right away. We also had trouble supporting Windows 10 because the UAC kept blocking us. Moreover, we couldn't simply tell a client to go into the configuration and turn UAC off. Ultimately, after a lot of frustration, we gave up on DualDesk.
