"Choosing Between VPN and Remote Desktop for Hosting Third-Party Applications on Windows Server 2019
Hi JeretC,
Deciding between a VPN and Remote Desktop for hosting third-party applications on Windows Server 2019 hinges on specific requirements. Here are key distinctions that might aid your decision:
Flexibility: Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides extensive control for remote workers, allowing complete desktop access within granted privileges³.
Security: While VPNs are generally considered more secure³, both options offer robust security features. Your choice depends on the specific security needs of your organization.
Convenience: Both VPN and Remote Desktop connections are relatively easy to configure³. However, note that Remote Desktop requires individual user Windows credentials, unlike VPN.
Given your VPN performance issues and existing remote user service licenses, exploring Remote Desktop is sensible. However, weigh the security implications and consider managing individual user credentials.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. It’s about finding the solution that best fits your organization’s needs,
