As the name implies, Microsoft Remote Desktop is a Mac utility that helps users to remotely connect to PCs or virtual applications. This way, users can access data from their computers more easily.
The app is extremely easy to install and the operation lasts under one minute. The GUI is intuitive and this makes the navigation through the menu quite pleasing. There are no laggy moments or clunky buttons, but there could've been some skin variations.
When it comes to its features, Microsoft Remote Desktop allows individuals to access and manage resources published by the admin. Moreover, the connection operation is done through a Remote Desktop Gateway, that provides high security to data and applications.
Additionally, the app can be used to perform audio and video streaming. Besides this, users can redirect folders and local devices, like microphones and cameras.
Overall, Microsoft Remote Desktop is a reliable app, but it does come with some minor cons, such as inconsistent Command-W or random disconnections.
v10.7 [Oct 11, 2021]
It's time for another update. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and worked with us to diagnose and fix issues. In this version we made the following changes:
• Invertible cursors (like the I-Beam) are now outlined to make them visible on dark backgrounds.
• The underlying code backing the Connection Center (PCs and Workspaces) has been significantly improved.
• Added support for local window move in RemoteApp scenarios.
• Updated the Connection Information dialog (Connections > Show Connection Information).
• Added screen capture protection for Azure Virtual Desktop scenarios (https://aka.ms/avdscp).
• Addressed a design defect that was allowing folders to be redirected multiple times.
• Addressed reliability issues identified through crash reporting and feedback.
• Updated Help > Submit Feedback to navigate to a new support forum.
In addition, we have continued to make updates to improve security, connectivity and performance metrics when connecting to Azure Virtual Desktop.
Note that by default local window move in RemoteApp scenarios is disabled. To enable local window move, set the EnableRemoteAppLocalMove user default to true.
We appreciate all the comments sent to us through the App Store, in-app feedback and email. If you encounter any errors, you can contact us via Help > Submit Feedback.
