Too slow
As a product it’s solid and well integrated with Mac environment. All specific shortcuts and features are working. No VNC or other software can compare to ARD (I tried). However, there is one big disadvatage comparing to Windows world - ARD is way too slow. When you’re working with Windows machines via RDP you can work near the same speed as if you were sitting in front of that machine. Mac to Windows, Windows to Windows, Ubuntu to Windows all work great via RDP. ARD is 100 times worse. Even when I’m sitting in the same room with the machine being controlled via ARD (same WiFi point) I’m getting very low performance. This is huge disadvantage. You can do basic things, but you can’t work remotely.
