None of the alternatives we tried were on the TrustRadius list, but speaking of them, none were as simple to use and configure as AnyDesk. All that we tried had connection issues. An example was terminating remote access unexpectedly several times while using the software.

Chose TeamViewer
It's fast and lightweight, but the user interface and feature set don’t match TeamViewer's flexibility. While AnyDesk is solid for quick remote access, it lacks the depth TeamViewer offers for ongoing support and collaboration.

Most suitable for large corporations who want to have real-time control of multiple devices in different countries. It is not suitable for scenarios where permissions for using the system need to be obtained from the user for every session if there is no support subscription in place.

Cons
AnyDesk Software
  • we should be able to connect from windows to iphone or ipad, it is now possible to connect to ipad or iphone. AnyDesk can work on this.
  • the field where we enter remote address should be more visible. New user cannot find where to enter the remote address that takes some time to connect. AnyDesk should change the placement of it.
  • If we can change the colour theme of the UI that will be an addon thing. when you daily use AnyDesk you get bored of the same UI.
  • Just like a Xmax UI. Any desk should constantly change somethings which makes the UI visually appealing.

TeamViewer
  • With an iPad, you can't take control of the device, so you have to tell someone what to do. Which can be a challenge because the end user doesn't know what to do
  • With the free version of TeamViewer you cant enter Admin credentials because TeamViewer blocks the windows to fill in the credentials
  • The free version can be really limited which can be putting off people because they don't see the full potential of TeamViewer

the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.

I had a very good experience of implementing TeamViewer in our organization because it did not take time to be adopted. I could state that the ability of this software to run on multiple operating systems together with its GUI meant that our technicians could apply the software in employment without extensive training.

AnyDesk Software
AnyDesk is simpler to use than BeyondTrust. Beyond trust is suitable for a bit, but it's a bit heavy. Major guidance is required to guide the next person. Multiple steps are involved before we get remote access. Sometimes, it gets stuck in between. Beyond trust, data transfer is comparatively slower. It cannot be ready within a few minutes.

Return on Investment
AnyDesk Software
  • Fewer on site visits needed for troubleshooting or set up.
  • That will lead to saving of time and travel cost.
  • Poor experience in low bandwidth - one of our field technicians connected to a system, which led to delays in work due to lag and frequent disconnections.

We started seeing benefits from TeamViewer within the first 3 months. Initially we saw immediate savings reducing travel time and costs for support visits. Within the first quarter, we’d already cut travel-related expenses by around 15-20%, which quickly added up. As the team became more familiar with the software and we streamlined our processes, the time savings from faster issue resolution grew, further improving our ROI.
  • It has really reduces travel cost. Saved us approximately 30% on travel expense by handling most tasks remotely instead of sending technicians on site.
  • We are able to resolve issues way faster within minutes.
  • Faster service delivery has contributed to better client retention and stronger relationships.
