THE BEST FREE TEAMVIEWER ALTERNATIVES FOR WINDOWS AND MAC

In this post we will see a few free remote desktop service alternatives for Windows and Mac. Easy to use and simple to install, to be able to connect to our computers or work from home. The well-known “ Telecommuting ” in times of Coronavirus (Covid-19). 

What is TeamViewer and what alternatives do I have?

When we talk about remote desktop, the well-known TeamViewer comes to mind . It is very good software , installed on millions of devices, both mobile and computers, but with a few drawbacks that we will now see.

Advantages of TeamViewer:

  • Remote connection on any device.
  • Allows you to send files.
  • Great security to your rotating port.
  • Allows you to save devices with a preset key.

Drawbacks of TeamViewer:

  • In its free version disconnections occur.
  • In local network without Internet it does not work.
  • If you restart, you will have to start a new session.
  • You need the same version installed on both devices to be able to connect.
  • Your license is paid.

Top 5 best alternatives to Teamviewer for free remote desktop.

  • Chrome Remote Desktop.
  • Anydesk
  • ISL
  • Windwos Remote Desktop and Apple Remote Desktop
  • Supreme

Chrome Remote Desktop the fastest alternative.

If you are used to using Google Chrome as the default browser, we believe that this option is the most recommended for you. You just have to install an extension in Google Chrome and you will be able to use the remote desktop function of Google Chrome.

How do I install Chrome Remote Desktop?

Open Google Chrome and go to applications in the upper left bar.

 Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for Chrome Remote Desktop .

Click "Add to Chrome".

The icon will be installed in the bookmarks bar, and you can now access it.

 

Advantages of using Chrome Remote Desktop

  • Its operation is very simple.
  • Its installation is simple and takes up very little.
  • Allows you to store equipment.
  • Allows you to connect with all types of platforms

Drawbacks of using Chrome Remote Desktop

  • It does not work properly on devices with multiple monitors.
  • Very few additional options.
  • A Google account is required.
  • It has no function to hold conferences.

Anydesk, the most reliable alternative to TeamViewer

Anydesk is another very good recommendation to consider, much more reliable than TeamViewer. Anydesk was created by former TeamViewer employees.

This application has a multitude of options, a much friendlier interface and is completely free for non-commercial use.

It has a technology called DeskRT that makes the remote connection almost imperceptible without latency. Therefore, it allows you to handle video editing programs, photo retouching such as "Photoshop " with hardly any centralization.

Advantages of using Anydesk

  • It works perfectly.
  • Its free version is one of the best.
  • It has a warehouse for equipment.
  • Connection with any platform and device.
  • It has a full screen mode.

Disadvantages of using Anydesk

  • Its business version is paid.
  • There are no conference options.

Compatibility.

  • Windows
  • MacOS
  • Android
  • IOS
  • Linux
  • RaspberryPi
  • ChromeOS

The best alternative to TeamViewer for companies.

This software called ISLOnline is designed mainly for companies , since it has specific functions to provide support or specific solutions to customers by invitation to Remote Access.

ISLOnline is very light, therefore its operation is very fast and it can work in circumstances where others could not. It is capable of adjusting graphics reductions according to the speed of the line, in order to connect to the device in question.

Advantages of using Anydesk

  • It has chat.
  • Remote session recording options.
  • It has icons and actions to interact with the client.
  • It has a variety of information on its website to integrate it into your company.
  • Organization of connections through folders.

Disadvantages of using Anydesk

  • Its full screen mode is very poorly designed.
  • Its price is somewhat high.

Windows Remote Desktop and Apple Remote Desktop.

If you have one of these two systems, you have the option of using your own remote desktop technology. Both Windows and MacOS have this option preset as standard, although with some incidents and somewhat more confusing than other solutions.

Windows RDP remote desktop.

If you have a version of Windows Professional, you have the option of activating the remote desktop service to connect to your computer through your LAN network or connection by redirected port (which I do not recommend since it is very insecure and requires knowledge to be able to activate it safely).

If you have a Windows Home version, this option will not be available .

Activate the Windows RPD remote desktop service:

On the device you want to connect to, select  Start -> Settings ->  System -> Remote Desktop.

Check Enable Remote Desktop .

Make a note of the device name.

Use Remote Desktop to connect to the device:

In the Windows search box type Remote Desktop Connection. Note: There is a new free version in the Windows 10 Store , but it is not required.

Once the application is open, in the team box we put the name of the device in question > and click on connect.

It will ask us for an access password, we will put it and that's it.

Apple Remote Desktop.

If, on the contrary, we have a system with MacOS, we have the Apple Remote Desktop option, which in order to unlock it we will have to acquire it for a price of € 89.90.

I honestly have not been able to use this application and I do not recommend it since the ratings are somewhat confusing and I think there are better alternatives. If you are still interested in this App I leave you the following link .

Supremo, an application similar to TeamViewer.

If what you are looking for is an alternative similar to TeamViewer without losing its essence, I recommend Supremo . This application is very secure as it uses AES-256 encryption, so it can also be applied to small businesses.

It has a free version for personal use with 21 days of use so that you can try it and if it convinces you you can choose one of its paid versions.

Advantages of using Anydesk

  • Simple and safe.
  • Multi platform.
  • Folder transfer.
  • Allows screen sharing.
  • Disadvantages of using Anydesk
  • It is paid but inexpensive.
