What is the best remote control for Win 7? - Vnc etc

The Mafia · 16th August 2012, 12:36 PM

Hi Everyone

I don't want to RDP because I don't like switching desktops etc for this particular PC.

I am currently using Real VNC but I was wondering if any of you out there use anything that you think is better?

Thanks

TeamViewer, hands down

I didn't mind LogmeIn last time I used it.

Touch expensive for a single user ($49) but Radmin is about the best I've used.

Good part about it though is that the viewer side is free, so you can view a pc from any other pc without licensing issues. It's only the server side (the pc you want to view) that you pay for.

Radmin is actually pretty good.

logmein may have a better licensing model. And it handles Terminal Services better.

RADmin is great if you want to buy... though I'm trying out TeamViewer at the moment and it does the job of controlling my Win 7 box via my Note quite nicely

In terms of multiple users and price?

Yeah.

Essentially you pay for 1 Central License, 1 ignition license (if you need it) and you can support <gazillion> pc's

Pro licenses on the hosts give file xfer etc.

I second TightVNC. It works for me when I want to use a computer in another room, or if I want to use a computer over the interwebs.
