Unattended access, free for up to 10 connections, no time limit, personal or business use. These guys get it!
7Supports 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)
2justpostedStraightforward, 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.

Comments about RustDesk as an Alternative to TeamViewer
Totally free, user friendly and easy to use. I think in basic it has the same functionalities.
RustDesk is open source and actually great! Interface is super easy, like Team Viewer. Performance is from my laptop to my TV computer, currently using built-in WiFi N getting around 2 MBps .
Finally something cross-platform that takes TeamViewer by storm! Absolutely awesome!
