TeamViewer is an all-in-one remote administration and collaboration tool. It enables users to remotely access and control other computers, mobile devices, and servers from any location. With TeamViewer, users can securely transfer files, access and share files, and even collaborate on projects in real-time. It also provides a range of features for IT professionals such as remote device management, remote support for customers, and remote access to a server or workstation. It is available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. Additionally, TeamViewer can be used for online meetings and video conferencing.
The fact that it appears to be running a native Linux binary is excellent, but it also runs on Fedora 25 (which Chrome Remote Desktop does not yet support) and works really well.
Very nice! Lightweight, fast, portable, free and great quality. That's what I was looking for.
Definitely an alternative with RDP features.
This is the best alternative, but lacks many of the features found in TeamViewer. However, if you're on a limited budget, this will work out of the box.
If you are looking for a FOSS alternative to Team Viewer, this is not really FOSS.
It is the best alternative to TeamViewer, a bit old but it does the job.
Open source, direct-connect standard
This is the best alternative to TeamViewer for those on a budget. It does almost everything TeamViewer can do, with the exception of the need to open ports in your firewall. Since you can specify ports, it is not as vulnerable as one might think, just use non-standard ports and a very secure password.
The fastest and best native tool, except for NAT.
Does not allow remote access over the WAN without a lot of work.
Simple and comes with the operating system. No need to maintain.
TightVNC requires server configuration and port forwarding. Too complicated for the average remote client using Team Viewer for remote support.
For users who know what they are doing, TightVNC is an excellent way to control systems remotely.
Free and open source, on all major platforms. Can be used with the VNC viewer on Android, which is also free - what more could you ask for!
Computer control but no conference.
It is easy to connect to virtual computers
It is easy to connect to very nice virtual computers
Remmina is a great RDP or VNC client. These are already listed as remote desktop technologies. Let's be clear that the main advantage of TeamViewer (and LogMeIn) is that the remote computer only needs an Internet connection. No port forwarding is required.
DWService is much lighter, able to use even without installation, more options, web user interface, also open source!
The best open source alternative! Easy to use! All features! All operating systems!
Open source, web gui on all platforms.
It's completely free, no strings attached. Fast and well designed GUI. I just bought their new Enterprise Desktop (unique) which is good value for money, inexpensive and has technical support.
Unattended access, free for up to 10 connections, no time limit, personal or commercial use - these guys get it!
The same functionalities and even more. Free license for up to 10 computers.
Free license for up to 10 computers, easy setup, has mobile application. Truly generous program!
Very good if you are in Linux to Linux use cases.
It works remarkably well and has sound as well.
Teamviewer is a remote support application with a NAT server in between, mRemoteNG is just a remote connection manager.
Very limited functions (almost none) as in Teamviewer, mostly made for meetings.
It wasn't hacked, pretty smooth. Little lag here and there. it's free!
Unlike TeamViewer, it is not a centralized solution, relying on servers that are owned by some company that will eventually cease to operate, and contrary to what some people say, setting up VNC connections is not complicated at all (within the same subnet is trivial across NAT-ted subnets only requires port forwarding, done, done). TeamViewer-like software should be taken into consideration only by computer novices, in my opinion.
It works just like TeamViewer, but the download is only 1.5 megabytes, and it doesn't cost $800, it's totally free.
I like TeamViewer, but it has no features except chat and file transfer through the chat window. If only remote control is needed, then this will be fine. It does the basic job just fine.
Guacamole provides an HTML5 remote access solution, the client PC does not require any software to remotely access the server. The administrator can also monitor/delete any connection in real time. The administrator can also assign the user a particular access to the server.
This software is new and incorporates features I have never seen before. The best part is that it is free and more secure.

The same simple, straightforward remote desktop application that TeamViewer once was. And, at best, newer versions can connect to older versions, which TeamViewer always applied to make everyone upgrade.
