    SupremeViewer is best for troubleshooting technical issues on remote computers. You can do connections all over the world without any configurations. Just run or install and connect. It is secured and works behind NAT. The easy installation process without additional configuration helps a lot when our customers need to run the server.

    At the beginning we used Windows Remote Desktop service. The main problem with Remote Desktop was that the remote computer needs a publicly visible IP address which will allow us to connect to that PC. For that reason we started using TeamViewer. TeamViewer works great behind NAT and with its free option was best solution for small company as ours. I think that now they are mainly targeting corporate customers and the price of their products is too high for us. This led us to look for other solutions. That's how we discovered SupremeViewer.
