It can be an effective way for multiple users to run multiple instances of Linux software off a powerful workstation or server simultaneously. While functioning similarly, X2Go provides much better performance than standard X11 forwarding through SSH especially in regards to applications that utilize hardware acceleration.
If you want multiple users to simultaneously use the same computer remotely, and each to have their own screen/keyboard/mouse control X2Go is a better tool to utilize. VNC while useful for a single remote user connection has drawbacks trying to support multiple users. X-forwarding can be inefficient in comparison to alternative options such as X2Go. The traditional method of running programs with graphical output remotely has been by using X-forwarding (-X option ) through ssh. While this proven method works well within a fast local network, it can be very slow, almost to an unusable level, when used outside the network on a VPN, or when the application needs to use hardware acceleration.
