Teamviewer Alternatives: 10 Best Remote Desktop Software

1

TeamViewer

While TeamViewer and other services on this list charge you on a subscription plan, Lite Manager offers a one-time paid plan which brings far better value for your money. While Lite Manager is not as feature rich as TeamViewer, it offers enough features which should satisfy the needs of most users. With Lite Manager, you can control and view the desktop of a remote computer, work with files and folders remotely, start a text or video chat, and record screen among various other things. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to TeamViewer, you should certainly take a look at Lite Manager.

AnyDesk

Whenever one starts talking about TeamViewer alternatives, AnyDesk is the first software that comes to my mind. Just like TeamViewer, AnyDesk packs a ton of features, allowing you to access your devices remotely from anywhere you want. My favorite thing about AnyDesk is that the service brings one of the fastest data transmission rates with 60 FPS screen sharing. AnyDesk also brings very low latency which means that your actions are immediately transferred to your remotely controlled devices, making it feel more natural. Another big feature of AnyDesk is that it supports almost all the major platforms including Windows, Linux, Free BSD, macOS, iOS, and Android.

LogMeIn

Another popular TeamViewer alternative is LogMeIn which allows users to not only access their computers from any device but also to store, share, and collaborate on files with just one click. Unlike TeamViewer and AnyDesk whose main focus is using remote desktop control for providing support, LogMeIn mainly focuses on providing users remote access to their personal computers, so that they can do their work no matter where they are. While either of the three services can be used for both these use-case scenarios, LogMeIn specializes in the latter, and hence, it is a good option for any working professional who has to work remotely.

Splashtop

Splashtop markets itself as an all-in-one solution for all your remote accessing needs. The service allows both individuals and teams to easily access their own computers as well as shared computers with any device at any time. Splashtop focuses a lot on security and ensures that your remote connection is always secured. As such, all remote sessions are encrypted with TLS and 256-bit AES encryption. Access is further protected by device authentication, two-step verification, and multiple 2nd-level password options. Splashtop seems to be geared towards companies which provide on-demand support as it allows MSPs, helpdesks, and service providers to provide attended/ad-hoc support to clients.

Parallels

Another great remote access software is Parallels Access which provides one of the fastest, simplest, and most reliable remote access to your computer from anywhere. The service allows users to access all your applications, files, and computers in one place. My favorite feature of Parallels Access is its mobile apps. While most of the remote desktop software mentioned on this list come with their own mobile apps, Parallels Access gives the best mobile viewing experience. The connection never drops and your touch inputs are instantly recognized on the computer that is being controlled.

Supremo

Supremo markets itself as a powerful, easy, and complete solution for remote desktop control and support. It allows users to access a remote PC or host meetings in just a few seconds. One of the good things about this software is that don’t need to install or patch anything. There’s only one executable file that is very small and doesn’t need any installation. Supremo is also very safe and reliable AES 256-bit encryption and supports USilio, the IT Management Console. If you are a business, you will also appreciate that Supremo allows you to customize its user interface to display your company’s logo, something that TeamViewer doesn’t allow you to do.

Chrome Remote Desktop

If you are not a heavy user of remote desktop software and need something which is completely free, you should definitely check out Chrome Remote Desktop software. Do note that, Chrome Remote Desktop is nowhere near as powerful as TeamViewer, however, it is completely free to use, and you can easily get things done using this. Just like TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop allows users to remotely access another computer through Chrome browser or a Chromebook. Computers can be made available on a short-term basis for scenarios such as ad-hoc remote support, or on a more long-term basis for remote access to your applications and files.

ConnectWise Control

ScreenConnect used to be a separate entity, that is until ConnectWise acquired it and renamed it as ConnectWise Control. The good thing is that the service became even better after the acquisition. The company offers ConnectWise Control as a remote desktop product for companies which provide a remote assistance to their clients. While there is no one who is stopping you to use the product as an individual, seeing how the company is marketing its product, I would say that it is much better suited for companies. The best part about ConnectWise Control is that it offers a scalable experience for individuals and teams, large and small.

Bomgar

If you value your security over everything else, Bomgar remote support is certainly for you. While all the other remote desktop software on this list including TeamViewer offer some type of security, none of them focus so heavily on it as Bomgar. As per their website, not only is the product architecture superior from a security standpoint, the product itself has a number of features that strengthen the security on a day to day basis. Bomgar provides customers with a segmented single-tenant environment where their data is never mixed with the data of any other consumer. Bomgar doesn’t need to use VPN tunneling go through company’s firewall thereby keeping the perimeter security of companies intact. These are just some of the security measures taken by Bomgar to ensure that your data is always safe.
