Remote access picker
Six questions, one ranked shortlist. It is a rule of thumb that shows its working, so you can disagree with it for the right reasons.
How the ranking works
Each answer adds or subtracts points from each method, and every point comes with a stated reason. Nothing here is hidden weighting: the reasons you see are the whole calculation. If a method you like ranks low, read its trade-offs. Often a single answer, such as not being able to install a client, explains it.
