Keep AeroAdmin, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace AeroAdmin you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 34 of the 35 other remote desktop apps grade higher. It costs $96.96 a year.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. AeroAdmin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
