1- Windows Terminal Server: Windows terminal services is the most popular, efficient and simplest way of setting up QuickBooks Remote login. You will get a seamless connection to your windows server 2003 or windows server 2008 with converting the server as a terminal server. All of your data and applications (QuickBooks and others) are installed on this server and you don't have to keep your local QuickBooks application installed. You can get access to the server with remote desktop connection from any operating system like Windows, mac and iPhone, iPad, Android and other popular smart phone devices.

2- Citrix Server: Citrix server is a third-party tool to make your terminal server accessible from all client machines regardless to their local operating system. Citrix server is one of the trusted technologies available in the market. But due to expensive cost and need of experienced guy to handle its administration, it is not considered a very suitable solution for small and medium firms. Moreover, you need to install client softwares to make QuickBooks remote login successful with all aspects like seamless access and printing, etc.

3- Propalms Application Server: Propalms formerly known as Tarantella is used as an alternative of Citrix Server but it's quite cheaper than Citrix. This is a light program comparing to Citrix and requires less technical resource and administration skills to manage. You can access your QuickBooks and other applications through Propalms web portals, which requires a tiny Propalms client installation first on client computers' side.
