    Teamviewer connects to other TV hosted computers. Remmina is a CLIENT not a server like TV is. Remmina supports SSH tunneling as well for RDP connections. TV doesn't. TV connects to TV. Remmina connects to VNC, RDP etc.

    Parsec is awesome for viewing WINDOWS machines, but there is no native way to view and control Linux boxes at this time. Remmina allows control of both Windows and linux systems through various protocols.
