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!

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!

Sounds great at first glance. But as always, there is a catch. Yes, the software is open source, but limited in bandwidth, if you want more speed you have to subscribe. And that can cost up to 100 € for 50 Mbps maximum bandwidth per month, 1200,- € or 1346,49 $ per year. Then better use a professional solution like Teamviewer or Anydesk.

Hands-down the best FOSS replacement for AnyDesk, TeamViewer, etc...

Works flawlessly out of the box. I also tested it in a restrictive corporate network with nefarious NATs, firewalls, and other security theatre measures. Works

It's not only alternative, it is the best, fastest, and most lightweight among all terminal configurable servers. Also can be used on arm processors where Team Viewer supports only host machine installation.

TightVNC requires server configuration and port forwarding. Too complicated for the average remote client who uses Team Viewer for remote support.

It has too much options for an incompetent user to setup. Also, it does not tell the external IP address of the user, so I cannot connect.
