The question asked, verbatim: best remote desktop software for remote teams
Brands named, in the order the engine gave
- Splashtop recommended
Splashtop - my default recommendation for most remote teams.
- TeamViewer mentioned
Flat per-user pricing (Pro around $8.25/user/mo, Performance ~$12.42) with unlimited-ish device access beats TeamViewer's entry commercial plan by roughly 4x on cost, and the video/audio quality holds up well for actual daily work, not just quick support sessions.
- AnyDesk mentioned
AnyDesk - best when raw session responsiveness matters most.
- Zoho mentioned
Zoho Assist - the small-team pick, especially if you're already in the Zoho ecosystem.

The answer, as recorded
**Splashtop** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. Flat per-user pricing (Pro around $8.25/user/mo, Performance ~$12.42) with unlimited-ish device access beats TeamViewer's entry commercial plan by roughly 4x on cost, and the video/audio quality holds up well for actual daily work, not just quick support sessions. If your team is "everyone needs to reach their office desktop from home," this is the answer. **TeamViewer** - the one to pick if budget is secondary and coverage is the priority. Broadest platform reach (including odd endpoints and IoT), the deepest integration ecosystem, and the most mature compliance/audit story. Commercial pricing is steep - ~$24.90/mo single user, ~$50.90/mo for team plans - and it's the main reason people shop for alternatives. **AnyDesk** - best when raw session responsiveness matters most. Tiny client, very low latency, good for latency-sensitive work (design, video review) and for contractors who need to connect fast without a heavy install. Pricing is per-device-ish (Professional ~$14.90/mo for up to 3 devices), which gets expensive as your fleet grows. **Zoho Assist** - the small-team pick, especially if you're already in the Zoho ecosystem. Free tier plus genuinely cheap paid tiers, and it's oriented toward unattended access and support rather than all-day desktop use. **RemotePC** - the budget option. Advertised from under $2/mo, cross-device, file transfer included. Fewer bells and whistles and a less polished admin layer, but it covers the basics for a team that just needs access. **ConnectWise ScreenConnect** or **LogMeIn Resolve** - go here if you have real compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOC 2 evidence, strict session auditing) or you're an MSP managing machines across multiple client orgs. **Chrome Remote Desktop** / **Microsoft RDP** - free, and fine for a one-off or for an individual reaching one machine. Neither gives you central user management, session logging, or provisioning, so they fall apart as a team standard. Quick steer: start with Splashtop unless you have a specific compliance or exotic-endpoint requirement that pushes you to TeamViewer or ScreenConnect.
