The most useful thing is of course having remote desktops and virtual clients. This simplifies access to multiple systems at the same time. The best thing is, that it does not require much local ressources

1. It automatically logs out after a specific time, so you need to log in multiple times. 2. It should work faster, and connectivity should be better. 3. Cannot reset the password; requires support requests.
