Connect App features
Publish your Windows applications on the web
A cost-effective alternative to Citrix and RDS that runs smoothly between your server and your users' devices, on Windows 7 to 11 and Windows Server 2008 to 2019.
Core capabilities
Two ways to work: single apps or full desktops
Give each user exactly what they need, whether that's one line-of-business application or a complete Windows desktop.
Application-level access
Users open published applications straight from the Connect App floating panel, which gives administrators tighter control over the server.
Applications open so seamlessly that they look like they're running on the user's own computer, not in a remote session.
Full desktop access
Like RDS CALs, users get real-time access to a full Windows desktop. Map local printers, ports and disks, and use RemoteFX and dual screens.
Print on the local printer
The Universal Printer converts each print job on the server into a PDF and sends it through the session to the user's computer, where it prints locally. No drives or ports need to be mapped to the server.
And much more
