I wanted to give you a few questions at the meeting yesterday. I was going to demonstrate the Remote Desktop Windows system downstairs, but there were only two Linux laptops at the meeting, I had to give up the demonstration of Remote Desktop. After I came back, I wanted to find a free iPad Remote Desktop Access Tool. Finally, I chose three software. Below is a simple comparison. The following is my personal experience, if not, please forgive me.

Pocketcloud uses the RDP protocol. For normal Windows [non-Server Version], only one desktop can be connected. Therefore, after logging on to the iPad, the PC lock screen cannot be operated, it is convenient to access the company's office PC without a VPN.
After logging on to the splashtop, you can copy the PCs and iPad on the screen. The displayed content is the same. It is suitable for using the iPad to operate desktops and complete simple office functions.
After three days of trial, I feel that pocketcloud is much better at ease of use than splashtop. It is really a headache for splashtop to process screen scrolling. I can only look at the desktop. It is really difficult to operate the content!
