remote access alternatives

[katka]

what remote access softwares (mainly freeware) can I install on some business pcs?
I've seen that teamviewer and anydesk nowadays are not as they were long time ago, and by this im reffering that for example anydesk has only 15 days trial and teamviewer literally kicks you out after 5 mins of connection
so, what else can I use?

Remote Desktop that comes with Windows works pretty well.

This is what we use. It's faster and more responsive than Teamviewer which is what we used in the past

I found MeshCentral.  It is more of a Remote Management system but has Remote Access as well.

 

It requires you to set up a Server and install Agents on the target PC.

 

I am just starting out with it and don't have it running outside my home network yet.

 

As a Remote Managment system it is more for Corporate/Enterprise management and control of the PC, so when you install the Agent, it loads as an automatic service and essentially "calls home" when it boot up.  Therefore MeshCentral can get access to the target PC anytime.  You would have to write your own scripts to Start and Stop the service if you don't want the automatic service loading.
