    Comments about AnyDesk as an Alternative to TeamViewer
    Comment summary: AnyDesk is favored over TeamViewer for its speed, ease of use, affordability, and privacy features. Users appreciate AnyDesk's lightweight application, stability, and ability to work without installation. It is praised for being faster and offering a more privacy-friendly experience than TeamViewer. However, criticisms include the lack of an address book and limitations on remote computer lists with the free version. Despite minor issues, many see it as a superior replacement to TeamViewer.

    Same uncomplicated and simply working remote desktop application as one day was TeamViewer. And at best: Newer versions can connect to older versions - which TeamViewer always enforced to enforce everybody to upgrade.

    No longer free, 14-day trial, nag screens, and a timer. The licence is still cheaper than TeamViewer though.

    I prefer using AnyDesk on any other screen-sharing tool, because of the seamless screen-sharing without disconnection or refreshing the connection after a certain period of time, Kudos!

    Comments about Chrome Remote Desktop as an Alternative to TeamViewer
    Comment summary: Chrome Remote Desktop serves as a free and easy-to-use alternative to TeamViewer, praised for simplicity and basic remote access needs. Users highlight its lack of advanced features compared to TeamViewer, such as remote control of Android devices and unattended access. While Chrome Remote Desktop uses VP8 for improved streaming, it is not considered a full-featured substitute for TeamViewer, particularly for those requiring more comprehensive tools.

    I have been using this app/chrome extension for years now. It just works fine and it's FREE. No fancy tools, just remote single user support, but that's what I need. 100% recommended!

    It works just the same as TeamViewer, but the download is only 1.5 megs - and it's not $800 - it's totally free.

    Like TeamViewer but no features except for chat and file transfer via chat window. If only remote control needed then this will be just fine. Does the basic job very well.

    UltraViewer supports all Windows versions since XP with its latest update. TeamViewer requires you to purchase a license before you can support older versions of Windows, and then you have to download an older version of TeamViewer, not the latest. Also, if you want the paid version of UltraViewer, it costs a lot less than TeamViewer.

    Supports all features of TeamViewer, but with fair license prices and more technical options. i.e. it allows to run your own relay server ("RU Server") in the public internet to connect your "Viewer" with remote PCs (running unattended "Host" or on-demand "Agent") when they are both behind a firewall. (TV always uses its own cloud infrastructure for that purpose)

    Straightforward, effective and lightweight, with less mucking about with usernames and things than Teamviewer. Just what I wanted. If I'm running fullscreen (F12 toggles it) then I feel like I'm just working away on my remote PC. I use it to work from my office laptop using my home desktop setup.

    Has all the features of Teamviewer, but is priced reasonably for commercial use. Hopefully they will keep the pricing that way, because any higher and we will ditch them too. Loved Teamviewer but it was outrageously priced.
