"Nice software for 2005, but a little outdated for 2018."
2.5/5
What do you like best about TightVNC?

TightVNC is reasonably straightforward and runs in the background with absolutely no disturbance to the user. It is neatly buried in the taskbar and can be hovered over when the time comes that you need remote support. Being an older generation of software, it runs very light on resources and does not slow down any core processes within the operating system. Best of all, its FREE for personal and commercial use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TightVNC?

I don't like the how resource heavy TightVNC is over an internet/LAN connection. It is very difficult to work in a remote session when the mouse jumps around and there is a lot of lag. Compared to products like TeamViewer, TightVNC is a lot more resource intensive during an actual remote assistance session. The look and feel of the software is also outdated, plus the fact that the last update to the software was in April 2017, it seems to be a dying product? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use remote control software"
4/5
What do you like best about TightVNC?

It is quick setup and easy to use software. You need to install server version on all the machines you want to access and on admin computer install viewer to remote control user computers. You can assign password to remote control client system so no unauthorized person can remote access. The best thing it is Free for commercial use too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Light and free VNC software"
5/5
What do you like best about TightVNC?

It allows controlling other computers in a simple way, allowing the generation of mouse and keyboard inputs. Moreover, it has several good customization options. The software is light, free and easy to install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TightVNC?

The UI has an old look. Probably it would need to renew its appearance and improve the usability. Also, I would like some better way to manage the saved hosts (maybe adding names for identifying the hosts or the possibility to create groups). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Free remote desktop client that misses some nice-to-haves of its competitors"
2.5/5
What do you like best about TightVNC?

It's free, lightweight and fast. It also is easy to setup if the computers you'd like to access are all available locally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TightVNC?

Security is nonexistent (passwords are sent over plain text). It also isn't suitable for computers that need to be accessed remotely and not through some sort encrypted tunnel. It also doesn't have computer management features that other, more robust clients have (think products from Citrix or even team viewer). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buen Remoto"
4/5
What do you like best about TightVNC?

The best part is that you can connect to other computers and take control so you can solve problems, help other people with their issues, install programs remotely, and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TightVNC?

Many times the video quality or the response time are high. I know it depends on both teams, but if it can improve, it will be a good thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
