    AnyDesk VS TeamViewer

    Is AnyDesk a good alternative to TeamViewer?
     
    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!

    Chrome Remote Desktop VS TeamViewer

    Is this a good alternative to TeamViewer?
     
    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.

    It's the best alternative but lacks many of the features found in TeamViewer. If you're on a budget though, this will do in a pinch!

    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.

    It's the best open source alternative. It doesn't require port forwarding on client side. Just send the client the file and they press connect. That's it.
