Remote Desktop Software for iPad

I would like some guidance and recommendations as to the best remote desktop software to connect an iPad Pro to a Windows-based office network and related applications. Needs to support VPN connection and to support terminal emulation.

I currently use CoRD on my MacBook Pro, but am planning to replace that with the iPadPro. Even the MacBook Pro is getting heavy these days (and I keep all of my work related files on the network).

Thanks in advance for suggestions and guidance,

Chris

You might like a mouse. The mouse will only work on the remote connection.

Read Multiform post. You can use a mouse with remote Windows and vnc desktop apps on the ipad. You need the right app store app.
