> # Best remote desktop software for remote teams
> 
> **1. Splashtop (Business Access / Enterprise)** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. Per-user pricing starts around $5/user/mo and Pro runs ~$8.25/user/mo, which is a fraction of TeamViewer's cost for essentially the same job: your team connects to their office or home workstations with good video framerate, multi-monitor, and file transfer. It's consistently the tool sysadmins recommend as the TeamViewer replacement. Weak spots: occasional blurry scaling on high-DPI displays, and session-approval prompts can get in the way.
> 
> **2. TeamViewer** - Name it if you need the broadest platform coverage (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, plus embedded/IoT) or if procurement wants an established vendor with compliance paperwork. It's still the largest installed base in remote support. Two real caveats: it's by far the most expensive (business tiers climb past $200/mo once you add concurrent connections and mobile support), and it was breached by APT29 in 2024, plus it killed perpetual v11/v12 licenses at the end of 2025.
> 
> **3. AnyDesk** - Pick this when raw responsiveness over bad connections matters most; its codec is genuin
