Teamviewer is a well-known remote-access software. However, in recent years many competitors have arisen to give this leading provider a run for their money. One such program is RemotePC. Join us as we compare these two programs<\/strong> and then provide a run-through of how to use RemotePC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RemotePC vs. Teamviewer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both Teamviewer and RemotePC are great remote desktop software programs<\/strong>. Both are easy to use and available on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android; they also have a web app. Teamviewer, however, is the only one that can connect to IoT and POS<\/strong> devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teamviewer and RemotePC are fairly equally matched when it comes to the features<\/strong> offered. However, Teamviewer does offer impressive meeting and presentation features, such as meeting scheduling, shared calendars, and screen sharing. While not everyone requires these features, and other apps can provide them, having them all in one place is nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, when it comes to support options<\/strong>, RemotePC slightly outperforms Teamviewer. Both offer the same types of support: live support and email support, as well as extensive knowledge bases and FAQs<\/strong>. However, RemotePCs live support is available for a more extended time period from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM daily, and they also offer 24hr chat support. Teamviewer\u2019s live support is available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most significant difference<\/strong> between these two programs is the price. Teamviewer can be expensive if used for anything other than a sizable technical support center. Yes, Teamviewer does offer a free personal account, but if you\u2019ve used the program for a while, you might start getting an error stating that they detected commercial use on your account. This is a way of pushing you to buy a subscription. While RemotePC doesn\u2019t have a free version<\/strong> available and only provides a 30-day trial on their more expensive packages, they are still much cheaper<\/strong> than any of Teamviewer\u2019s packages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So basically, if you\u2019re looking for affordable remote access software<\/strong>, then RemotePC is the best option. If you need to provide support to many different users and devices that include IoT and POS systems, then Teamviewer is the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
