greetings, i'm new to remoteutilites and i like it but it seems slow to me as compared to [censored] . i see that remoteutilities has the possibility to use rdp. i remember rdp from years ago and it was crazy fast on the local lan. i'm wondering if anyone else is using it and has any tips. right now i have windows home edition and rdp is not available. if anyone else is using rdp and is having good results then i may upgrade to windows pro just so i can use it.

Support level: Free or trial

If you are concern about speed - you will not get real advantage compare RDP to RU. RDP will log off current user session and because of it you free to set screen resolution as you want. It's may be advantage or disadvantage. Copy/Paste File operations is easy with RDP. RU instead use separate session for file transfer.
Didn't see any real reason to pay for upgrade. Up to you.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, Remote Utilities provides a RDP connection mode as well as RDP-over-ID feature that allows connecting to a remote computer over the Internet using the RDP protocol even when the remote computer is not directly accessible. However, please note that RDP connection mode in Remote Utilities simply starts Microsoft's native RDP client.
In addition please try referring to this KB page that might provide some helpful information that can help improving connection speed/performance.

Hope that helps.
