RDP vs Teamviewer
Hi Experts,
how demanding is an RDP connection and similar applications like team viewer like on our internet connection. max bandwidths? min requirements? any info would be helpful.
I just want to make sure that a 8mbps ADSL connection will be good enough to RDP over for around 4 users

RDP is a lightweight protocol and you can control what gets passed through increasing or decreasing the requirements. It also autodetects the bandwidth and enables features it thinks it can support appropriately.
One thing to consider is what people will be doing on the connection - if they print to a local printer, that print job, depending on what it is, could SERIOUSLY slow things down. If they are downloading files on the machine that they are RDP'd into, that will suck away bandwidth.
RDP is generally the FASTEST RESPONDING system out there - I've yet to find something faster - a few are CLOSE, but nothing, in my experience, beats it's performance.

TeamViewer is good but its data has been recently hacked. Have a look at http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36459015 Are hosted services secured? Why not use on premise remote support solutions like R-HUB remote support servers? It works from behind your corporate firewall, hence better security.
AEROADMIN runs best with every connection, no matter how slow it is

the application can be 'streamed' using the lower color option if this helps. hopefully it wont be too much of a problem.
