Highly Recommended! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Aleksander B. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022 **What do you like best about Synergy?** I'm an early adopter and I got the licence for free lifetime! I started using it in 2014 or maybe earlier - thats quite some time! **What do you dislike about Synergy?** Maybe the interface, well its not bad just simple no extra sparks but the software does what its designed for! Enough said :) **What problems is Synergy solving and how is that benefiting you?** KVM with 3 computers :) ### 2. Super useful, but not consistent **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew R. | Senior SRE, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019 **What do you like best about Synergy?** Symless Synergy is a solution which allows keyboard/mouse sharing across multiple computers; imagine having two laptops and a desktop on your desk, but only one keyboard/mouse. It's wonderful to not have to move from one keyboard/mouse to another, and have only one on a desk instead of several. **What do you dislike about Synergy?** It's far too tricky to get this working consistently. Over Wifi, it's almost unusable due to lag. Over Ethernet, it depends on how the machines are routed to each other. A direct Thunderbolt connection works best for me, but even then, the sleep/wake modes are problematic. I've had to develop my own helper scripts and utilities just to get Symless Synergy working correctly. **Recommendations to others considering Synergy:** Try it, but be prepared for frustration while getting it working. **What problems is Synergy solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm able to share a single keyboard/mouse across multiple computers; keeps my desk tidy and aids my workflow by not having to change input devices. ### 3. Ditch the KVM switches! Manage two computers with the same keyboard and mouse! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan L. | Data Engineer , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2019 **What do you like best about Synergy?** I love being able to copy and paste text and even files between two completely separate computers without any manual action. Symless Synergy makes it seem like you are using one computer the whole time. **What do you dislike about Synergy?** Sometimes the software can be buggy and requires a restart to reconnect to the host. **What problems is Synergy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our company provided us with laptops as well as enhanced desktops for when we needed more computing power. Having Symless Synergy made it easy to use both when in the office. ### 4.

Free up my desk space. Avoid confusion of two mice. **What do you dislike about Synergy?** Sometimes it doesn't automatically start up. **Recommendations to others considering Synergy:** Give up your second mouse and buy this instead. **What problems is Synergy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Save money, time, and desk space by controlling multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse set - [View Synergy pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/synergy-2025-04-03/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-19+12%3A01%3A44+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=93654cc4-2ef6-4f0d-aa97-5276b02ec5ce&secure%5Btoken%5D=a6ec5c1d3a97fb6e821dcc23ede8cfcfc992fe04992b45a2a7c66be9a9dc05d2&format=llm_user) ## Synergy Features **Administration** - Usage Information - Integrations - Diagnostics - Session Recording - Session Transfer - Unattended Access - File Sharing **Platform** - Cross-Platform Access - Mobile Device Access - Applications Management - Remote Device Control **Security** - Remote Wipe - Device Management - Device Enrollment ## Top Synergy Alternatives - [TeamViewer](https://www.g2.com/products/teamviewer/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (3,804 reviews) - [AnyDesk](https://www.g2.com/products/anydesk/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,067 reviews) - [Action1](https://www.g2.com/products/action1/reviews) - 4.9/5.0 (1,023 reviews)
