   I chose X2go over Nomachine

   We use X2go as access our home office work machine while traveling. The home office desktop (X2go server) is used primarily for word processing, spreadsheets and creating presentations. The X2go server is running on 3rd generation Intel i-5 processor with onboard Intel graphics and 12 Gb DDR4 RAM. The OS is Linux Mint Mate' 20.04. Nomachine works on most desktops, however X2go seems to prefer the XFCE and Mate' environments. My experience with X2go is slightly faster and more stable on the Linux Mint Mate' flavor than Ubuntu's 20.04 Mate'. It also looks much better. Remote access is accomplished using X2go client over SSH (ECDSA-256) with minimal compression through a ZeroTier network. Nomachine free version doesn't allow SSH connections. Nomachine also uses 128 bit encryption and is prettier and faster as first installed. However, X2go has more granular connection options. After multiple trial and error adjustments X2go is MUCH smoother and comparable to sitting at the physical desktop over ATT 4g-LTE hotspot connections. Youtube videos streamed remotely are a little jerky but watchable so I don't recommend gaming remotely over 4g. Additionally X2go allows for using 'published applications' making it possible to get work done over all but the slowest connections. X2go also allows multiple users to connect to the server and work in their individual environments simultaneously. Similar to a terminal server, although heavier on resources. My wife and I occasionally do this through hotel or cafe' WiFi. Nomachine free allows only one user connection at a time per machine. Nomachine is easier to set up for a novice and has Android & IOS apps. Not something we have a need for or want.

   🏁 Competitors: NoMachine Everybody

   👍 Pros:    Secure|Fast|Multiple simultaneous users|Published applications performance

   👎 Cons:    Requires ssh server installation & configuration.|Requires users to navigate a daunting number of options to find optimal performance.|Wiki isn't novice friendly and often has sections out of date. support is minimal through user forum.

• TeamViewer alternatives?

  With the fallout from FUD with TeamViewer, Management at the company I'm at has blocked TeamViewer. However, we have vendors that need access, and as long as it's not TeamViewer we have the OK to proceed forward.Some of my workmates are going for UltraViewer, does have the same results?

• Closest Teamviewer alternative.

  So (also we are a non-profit, though it seems like most of these companies don't really give discounts) what is the software that has the closest to the ease of use and functionality of TeamViewer? And somewhat affordable (affordable equals a max of $500 a year, preferably allows as much as the free TeamViewer version does. I have been told to use UltraViewer, would you guys recommend it? Has anyone else used it?... Source: about 2 years ago

• Teamviewer alternative

  Not sure if I should post this here. I'm looking for an alternative to Teamviewer, I would prefer a free opensource alternative but doesn't have to be. I would like it to be just an executable that they click on and I'm connected. I have tried Anydesk, and Parsec but I have not been satisfied. I am yet to try UltraViewer, I have heard it’s good, and I am hoping it will work. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Source: about 2 years ago

• Alternative for Teamviewer

  Does anyone have any experience with the alternatives? We have been asked to switch to UltraViewer, has anyone used it before? Does it yield the same results? Source: about 2 years ago
