What is Apache Guacamole?

Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser

I don't know (yet), but what I can tell is that AlternativeTo is completely wrong. None of the alternative options is build to enable fast access to a desktop in clientless/HTML5 mode.
An alternate option could be parallels.
It is a browser based solution supporting all important protocols (VNC, RDP, SSH). Works flawlessly completely inside Docker.

You can connect to your machine via a web browser witch makes it portable, for anyone who wants to connect to that machine, but its difficult to setup on the host machine.
clientless, HTML5 based, blazingly fast and open source!
Unfortunately I don't think any of these are alternatives to Guacamole. The whole point of Guacamole is client-less HTML5 based remote access. I think all of these alternatives require the download, and installation/execution of software as well as firewall configuration allowing outbound connections over their ports.
Yes I think so. I do agree, I am still trying to find something but that works out of the box.
guacamole pretty much does run out of the box without much config (if any). I personally use mattgruters guacamole-docker-containers and it works flawlessly - up and running in <5min. Just be sure to get all 3 containers and then follow the instructions. https://hub.docker.com/r/mattgruter/guacamole-webserver/
Moritzafl still in incubating phase a an Apache project http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org/ so besides not being in a production, which I will expect to be able to deploy in most distros and have some kind of good web gui to admin and setup i will expect more documentation and tutorials; Don't get me wrong I think is a great initiative and I see a lot of potential in the general industry, but still not working out of box, even using Docker.
