It is easy to spin up and spin down new machines. All of the CPU/Memory is dedicated and not shared. > > **Cons**: It is difficult to configure individual machines easily for different needs. For example, increasing the memory on one machine requires numerous changes and must be done through Evolve IP > > Overall the experience is positive and it is a great solution for businesses looking to provide desktops to employees who do not need a lot of horse power. ----- ### "Great for Remote Access\!" — 4.0/5 > **Meegan** | *4 October 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Evolve IP (Virtual Desktop) is a great program that allows you or someone else to access your devices. I like that it's very quick and simple to share your screen or to give access to a co-worker. I am a teacher who uses their personal desktop computer in the classroom. I installed this software on my personal computer and my computer at home. I can easily access my computer at work from home with a simple click of a button. If my computer is acting up, I can easily give IT access to my computer so they can fix the problem. I no longer have to drive down to the Board of Education to have my device fixed. I can just send an email, and open the software, and our IT department can look into the problem remotely. The software interface is simple. It can easily be figured out within seconds. Doesn't take valuable time to learn how to use the software. > > **Cons**: One of the cons I would like to mention is scammers. I have never had this problem but have heard stories about scammers gaining access to victims' computers using this software and others like it. If you are using remote access software like Evolve IP, never give anyone access that you do not personally trust. > > My overall experience has been positive so far. We have only used the free trial version as of now but plan to get a full subscription. It's easy to use and does everything it's supposed to do. I have never had any problems remotely accessing my devices from home. It quickly connects and you're good to go. ----- ### "Not intuitive" — 3.0/5 > **Amy** | *10 September 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to monitor call volume and get reports on demand is easy > > **Cons**: recent software changes have made making changes to our account relatively impossible without calling tech support ----- ### "Daas is wonderful" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *5 March 2019* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: its in the cloud so desktop can be accessed anywhere. > > **Cons**: the desktop can be accessed anywhere so i never have the im not by my computer excuse anymore > > i like being able to access from phone, ipad, home pc, work pc, and pretty much anywhere im at. if an issues comes up i can always log in really quick to address it. ----- ### "Daas" — 5.0/5 > **Ed** | *15 March 2019* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: DaaS provides a Reliable and fully functional desktop solution that is easy to maintain > > **Cons**: Nothing - We use it daily and are signed up for a multi year contract > > DAAS provides a reliable and convenient desktop service ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/162067/virtual-desktop?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/162067/virtual-desktop) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
