The first approach is less expensive per month but really most suitable only when it involves internal employees where you dictate their technology. The latter is more appropriate to your case because:
* Remote App relies on RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) which is on all Windows machines, Apple, some Android even
* user does not need Access or Office
In regard to security; in all cases they 'see' the data - meaning they can of course do screen shots or print outs - no way around that. But in the second set up they have zero ability to actually download any file.
