I'm looking for a remote access solution to allow me to carry out technical support work on client's computers without having to get in the car and travel to their premises.  Is Adobe Connect a good solution for this?  Is there something called Breeze?

I'd appreciate any advice, thank you.

NJ,

A few points of clarification.

  • Adobe Connect is not part of the CC package
  • Adobe Connect was known as Macromedia Breeze prior to 2006, so it is the same product, just an older version.

That said, Adobe Connect does have a remote access function. It does require that the person on the computer grants you remote access and it isn't as responsive as an RDP session.

Thank you flying.

I just had a look at the pricing for Adobe Connect and I was quite surprised.  It's almost the cost of the full CC subscription.

I don't need conferencing facilities, I just need remote access to a PC so I might just use Windows Remote Desktop as a solution.

Appreciate the advice, thank you.
