I’m InTouch vs. VPNs for Remote Desktop Control

For organizations looking to provide employees with remote access to their desktop PCs, the choice will probably be between a remote access solution like I’m InTouch and a VPN. While every situation is different, for the most part, your company will probably be better off going with I’m InTouch for several important reasons:

Ease of Implementation
With I’m InTouch, your remote access system can be up and running in as little as a few minutes.  Even if you choose to deploy the I’m InTouch Server Edition, your remote access system will be ready for use in no time. I’m InTouch is not only faster to set up than a VPN, it is a lot easier as well.  No complicated configurations or set-up procedures, just a simple installation on the computer you need to provide remote access to.

Flexibility
Unlike most VPNs where you need to install software on the device you will be using to remotely control your PC, with I’m InTouch, no software needs to be installed on the remote device. A quick installation on your desktop PC allows it to be remotely accessed from any wired or wireless device with an Internet connection and browser in the world.

Cost
VPNs are also costly to implement and maintain. Unlike I’m InTouch where all support and upgrades are handled by 01 Communique, with a VPN, you will probably have to do all the work.  If anything goes wrong with your VPN, you will need to spend the money to solve the problem. If you do not have an IT department on site, this can be a huge issue. Why take the risk when I’m InTouch is available for a low monthly or yearly cost with all support included for free.
