The Free version is limited to the control of ten client computers. The remote shutdown and Wake-on-LAN features are only available with the higher of the two paid plans, called Standard and Professional. Zoho produces a wide range of business software and the company also owns ManageEngine , which is a leading supplier of IT infrastructure management software. Zoho Assist is a cloud-based package of remote access services that is ideal for help desk and MSP technicians.
All communications are protected by bit AES encryption. The Zoho Assist package includes a live chat system and an integrated file transfer utility.
The technician can open up multiple sessions on the same remote machine, enabling user-visible actions in one window and operating system actions in another. It is also possible for the technician to show the customer his own screen in the interests of giving a system tour or usage instructions without having to grant that prospective buyer an account.
Apart from the remote desktop utility, Zoho Assist includes full remote access features that include automation for bulk research and updates across endpoints. For a completely free remote desktop system, check out the Free Edition of Zoho Assist. This package will operate for one technician and allows contact to five remote computers, but only one at a time. This is a particularly interesting service for independent, freelance support technicians because it includes all of the tools needed to communicate with a user that needs help.
The service is delivered from the cloud and is charged for by subscription with a rate per technician per month. That means that the entire system is available to independent technicians as well as teams working for MSPs and large organizations. It is also possible to access the operating system without going through the desktop of the remote device.
The Take Control system is available at two levels, with the higher level being called Take Control Plus. The higher level is particularly useful for supervised technicians because it includes session monitoring and technician performance reporting functions.
Take Control Plus also includes a user survey to evaluate the competence of each technician. The service can be paid for by the month or by the year. The annual payment plan works out cheaper.
However, be aware that you have to pay for the service period in advance. SolarWinds offers it on a day free trial. TeamViewer is an industry leader. This remote desktop system has been installed more than two billion times , which shows its popularity. We put this remote desktop system near the top of our list because it is a very comprehensive commercial product that allows free use by private individuals.
However, if you need a remote desktop program for business use, you will have to pay. As the name suggests, TeamViewer is aimed at team collaboration and has a number of group communication features that make this more than just a remote desktop sharing tool. These include video conferencing utilities and demonstration broadcasting. The remote connection tool relies on two-factor authentication to enhance security and all transmissions are protected by bit AES encryption.
The controller software can be accessed from Android mobile devices. The system also includes a secure file transfer facility and script execution capabilities in the console.
Although you have to pay for the Business Edition of TeamViewer, you can get it for free for an assessment on a day free trial. Atera is a support package for managed service providers MSPs. Another utility in the package is a Help Desk system , which includes a portal for access by the user community and a dashboard for use by technicians when they are working on a ticket.
The Help Desk dashboard gives access to a remote desktop system, which is actually Splashtop , which you read about above. The interface includes a chat system so that the technician can guide and advise the user as he explores the remote endpoint and produces a solution for the problem raised on the support ticket.
Atera is a cloud-based service and is accessed through any standard web browser. The service can also be accessed through a special app that is available for free for mobile devices.
The platform is charged for on a monthly or yearly subscription per technician. You can get a day free trial and test the Atera system before you sign up for a subscription.
For more features, you can order the Standard, Professional, or Enterprise edition. The free Quick Assist remote access program is easy to understand and doesn't require a download because it's built-in to Windows 11 and Search for it through the Start menu, or browse the Windows Accessories Start menu folder, to open the program. Type into the text box the 6-digit code that the client's computer generated, and then select Share screen. Once the client has done their part, you need to confirm that they can have access to your computer before the connection can be established.
Choose Assist another person and then log in to your Microsoft account. Give the security code to the host and then choose Take full control or View screen to get remote access to their computer. Once the client has connected to the host, they can change which monitor to control, annotate directly on the screen, restart the computer, and quickly open Task Manager. The multitude of options could be overwhelming and confusing if you just want a simple remote access tool.
LiteManager is strikingly similar to Remote Utilities, explained above. However, unlike that program, which can control a total of only 10 PCs, this one supports up to 30 slots for storing and connecting to remote computers, and also has lots of useful features. The computer that needs to be accessed should install the LiteManager Pro — Server. There are numerous ways to ensure a connection can be made to the host computer. It can be done through the IP address, computer name, or an ID.
The easiest way to set this up is to right-click the server program in the notification area of the taskbar, choose Connect by ID , erase the contents that are already there, and click Connected to generate a brand new ID. The other program, called Viewer, is installed for the client to connect to the host. Once the host computer has produced an ID, the client should enter it from the Connect by ID option in the Connection menu to establish a remote connection to the other computer.
Once connected, the client can do all sorts of things, much like with Remote Utilities, such as work with multiple monitors, transfer files silently, take full control or read-only access of the other PC, run a remote task manager, launch files and programs remotely, capture sound, edit the registry, create a demonstration, lock the other person's screen and keyboard, and text chat.
There's also a QuickSupport option, which is a portable server and viewer program that makes connecting much quicker than the above method. This program is available for macOS and Linux, too. ShowMyPC is portable and similar to some of these other programs, but uses a password to make a connection instead of an IP address.
This ID is the number you must share with others so they can connect to the host. Open the same program on another computer and enter the ID from the host program to make a connection. There are additional options here that aren't available in UltraVNC, like webcam sharing over a web browser and scheduled meetings that allow someone to connect to your PC via a personal web link that launches a Java version of ShowMyPC. Clients can only send a limited number of keyboard shortcuts to the host computer.
It works on all versions of Windows. After optionally forwarding the proper port number in your router, and signing up for a free account, you can access your PC from anywhere through a web browser. The computer that will be accessed remotely needs to have the DesktopNow software installed. When the program is first launched, your email and a password should be entered so you can use the same credentials on the client side to make the connection. The host computer can either configure its router to forward the proper port number to itself or choose cloud access during the install to make a direct connection to the client, bypassing the need for complicated forwarding.
It's probably a better idea for most people to use the direct, cloud access method to avoid issues with port forwarding. The client just needs to access the host through a web browser. If the router was configured to forward the port number, the client would use the host PCs IP address to connect. If cloud access was chosen, a specific link would have been given to the host that you'd use for the connection.
DesktopNow has a nice file sharing feature that lets you download your shared files remotely in an easy-to-use file browser.
There isn't a dedicated application for mobile devices, so trying to view and control a computer from a phone or tablet can be difficult. However, the website is optimized for mobile phones, so viewing your shared files is easy.
This includes Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. Another free and portable remote access program is BeamYourScreen. This program works like some of the others in this list, where the presenter is given an ID number they must share with another user so they can connect to the presenter's screen. Hosts are called organizers, so the program called BeamYourScreen for Organizers Portable is the preferred method the host computer should use for accepting remote connections.
It's quick and easy to start sharing your screen without having to install anything. Just click the Start Session button to open up your computer for connections. You'll be given a session number you must share with someone before they can connect to the host. Clients can also install the portable or installable version, but there's a dedicated app called BeamYourScreen for Participants that's a small executable file that can be launched similar to the portable one for organizers.
Enter the host's session number in the Session ID section of the program to join the session. Once connected, you can control the screen, share clipboard text and files, and chat with text.
Something rather unique about this software is that you can share your ID with multiple people so that many participants can join in and look at the presenter's screen. There's even the BeamYourScreen online viewer so clients can view the other screen without having to run any software.
You do have other options, like TeamViewer , which is wildly popular. Unfortunately, however, many users have had issues with it thinking that they're using it in a business setting, forcing them to pay to continue using the tool.

No need to make any changes to the router or firewall configurations. Combined with your individual comments this documentation is perfect for invoicing and reporting. Where it needs improvement Browser version : TeamViewer makes it possible to connect to another computer through a browser, but it is complicated to use; a quicker and more effective way to connect using a browser would certainly be a plus.
Complex security settings : Security is one of the major reasons a lot of people were searching for alternative to TeamViewer. It does offer high-end security, but it is complicated to set and If not properly configured, your system could be put at risk.

You can easily access the control panel, download programs and stream videos between the two computers. Great platform performance : ConnectWise Control performs admirably on all platforms, whether you are connecting via Mac, PC or tablet. Where it needs improvement Can't be used as a single-user solution : ConnectWise Control would be difficult to use as a single-user solution since someone must be at both ends to create the admin controls, initiate a remote connection and, on the host side, grant permission for the session to begin.
Difficult to establish a session : Establishing a session can get quite complex for a client or an employee who may not be very technically oriented. Who it's for ConnectWise Control is free for personal use only , not for commercial use. RemoteByMail is a free remote access application for your computer.
