Is either an iPhone or Android OS version available? Can I show clients my screen?
Both software, from my point of view, are very good, but I would like to read your opinions. Do you lean more towards one software over the other?
I’m helping a few IT teams compare remote desktop platforms speed really matters. These folks support end-users across different offices, and sometimes slow connections make support painful. They’re looking for tools that stay responsive even over weaker bandwidth and can handle high-resolution sessions without lag. So I pulled some data from G2 and user reviews, and here’s what stands out:
- TeamViewer: Consistently praised for low-latency performance and stable sessions across global networks, even on poor connections.
- AnyDesk: Lightweight client with a custom DeskRT codec built specifically for fast transmission and low bandwidth. Often mentioned by users as “snappier” than heavier tools.
- Action1: Cloud-native with high satisfaction (95%), known for quick connection setup and smooth sessions for IT teams managing many endpoints.
- Splashtop Remote Access: Balanced performance and price; users highlight its HD streaming and fast screen refresh rates.
- Zoho Assist: Easy to deploy and runs smoothly for small to mid-sized teams; less heavyweight than many enterprise tools.
- BeyondTrust Remote Support: Built for enterprise security but still delivers solid performance over VPN and restricted networks.
Syncro, ConnectWise Control, and LogMeIn Rescue are also often cited for high performance under heavy workloads.
For those of you running remote support at scale, what's been your experience with these tools? which tools have actually felt “instant” in real-world use versus just looking good on paper?
For those already using these tools, have you noticed a clear speed difference between them in real-world use, especially on slower networks? Would love to hear which one actually feels on these tools to help the teams evaluate
