Teamviewer was good, used it for many years. But it’s time to look for something else.

Been holding off solving this. Teamviewer is getting far too restrictive as a freemium app. I only use it very occasionally to support friends and relatives so it’s hard to justify 25 bucks a month for it.

I was happy with my own VNC installation before Teamviewer came along in 2005. Teamviewer just made it easier for supporting other non-tech friends. Simple website, quick installation, one off password to just get the job done and turn it off.

Truth is, I wish Apple, Microsoft and Google gang up to solve this. They all have their own solution for this, but very much tied into their own “platform”. A truly crossplatform product from one of these trusted base provider will be helpful for all.

But anyway, here are the ones I am trying so far, I will come back and update this post when I have settled down with one: (In no particular order.)
