Hey Guys

I have been using Atera for a while, but due to some unforeseen events and misunderstandings from Atera side haven’t I been able to use the service for remote desktop for a while.

Can you recommend a remote desktop service/solution, and eventually the cost?

Ideally a service that offer -on the spot sign up- as i have some pretty p*ssed off clients

Any recommendations? :grin:

I use Teamviewer and it works. That said, if I were shopping now, Splashtop would get serious consideration.

I personally love Goverlan, but is less an MSP type tool than they are NetworkAdmin type tool (works best on domain).

Manageengine’s RMM would be a consideration if you want a competitive product to Atera. They make a strong suite of products.

We moved from TeamViewer (due to cost) and now use ConnectWise Control.

Granted, I am Helpdesk using it for internal uses, so have no experience with using it in a customer environment.

For onesie twosie, I also occasionally use AnyDesk.

TeamViewer is usually my go to free option but I have also started using LogMeIn.

Do you have any specific requirements? Off hand I’m a big fan of ConnectWise Control. It’s a great tool for remote support.

How many users are you looking to support? And as a follow-up question, you mentioned clients, are you an MSP or do you work within a company’s internal IT org?

We use RemoteUtlities which is pretty good and cost effective. for us

Throwing another hand in for ConnectWise. I have been using it for 6 years. Replaced a combo of PC Anywhere and Teamviewer. One of our software companies uses Splashtop and It is pretty slick also. Pricing on the ConnectWise is concurrent connections ( I believe and pretty affordable).

Without knowing more about your needs and requirements, it is pretty complicated to make a good suggestion. Lots of excellent options are already mentioned above. I have pretty good experience with Royal TS/TSX Server and Client. You can check the pricing here Royal Apps . Atera offers a fully-fledged RMM bungle, so I believe remote access is not the only feature that you are missing.

Splashtop user here. Works great!

If you’re looking for solutions where end users share there sessions (essentially remote support, like bomgar), a lot of folks have recommended solid things.

Definitely take a look at Remote Desktop Manager by Devolutions. The free version is pretty feature rich. Depending what exactly you’re trying to do I’ve not found a better software for remote session management to be honest. However, I’m not positive they have a ‘remote assist’ functionality, which might be a key piece you’re looking for. if you’re looking to manage a large amount of remote desktop sessions, perhaps other types. We have the enterprise edition and basically store everything in a SQL db… it’s pretty awesome.
