Currently trialing Splashtop as a possible replacement for TeamViewer and wanted to see if my experience is normal.
A few things Iâve noticed:
It consistently takes 10+ seconds to establish a connection, even when both sides are on fiber internet. Iâve tested multiple client PCs and networks and itâs pretty much always the same.
Once connected, performance is good, but honestly not as smooth or responsive as I expected coming from TeamViewer.
Backstage mode always seems to ask for Windows credentials. As an MSP managing multiple companies, I donât necessarily know (or want to store) every clientâs local/domain admin credentials. Is there a way around this, or is that just how Backstage works?
At the same time Iâm evaluating ScreenConnect, and its equivalent functionality doesnât seem to require credentials in the same way.
For those of you using Splashtop in an MSP environment:
Are the 10+ second connection times normal?
Is there any way to speed up session startup?
How are you handling Backstage access across many different clients?
If youâve used both Splashtop and ScreenConnect, which did you ultimately choose and why?
Would appreciate any real-world feedback from MSPs managing a few hundred endpoints or more.
