Really awesome application that allows you to use the portability and security of SSH, but also enjoy the UI of whatever desktop you have installed. I use this all the time to connect back to my desktop at home that only allows key based authentication, so I can feel comfortable it is secure and usable!

also, forgot to mention. I have used this to remote back to my desktop so I can give presentations to people at conferences. So, all I do is use my laptop as a jump host to get back to my powerful desktop back at home can do live demos over my phone mobile hotspot.
Uses SSH for connections, making it one of the most secure way to connect and have remote desktop access. Also provides virtual remote desktop sessions, meaning a user can spawn a session which is independent of the remote physical VDU/monitor.
The encryption is too weak:
Must be tunneled (with SSH) first if you want it to be secure.
Could you share which version you reviewed? X2Go uses OpenSSH X11-Forwarding to connect, which can be encrypted with AES SHA2.
