Anyone use a Teamviewer alternative they really like? This is for a small office (less than 10 computers). Teamviewer got a lot pricier than I recalled!

We use built-in windows 10 remote desktop for Autocad and Revit work (even some realtime 3D browsing) and it's pretty good... I have around 25 people working remotely in an architecture office - the people with the most issues seem to be people who don't take my "use an ethernet cable" advice seriously  the thing i really wish i could do was power up computers that shut down for some reason!

Or no-ip? Separate note - I am hard wired and no matter what I do I can't get WOL to work.

Usually its a quadro feature but because of COVID they opened it up. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/g05pgr/nvidia_have_end_users_with_nvidia_graphics_cards/

We've been using AnyDesk commercially. You really only need to license the computers that will be using it for connecting-to-another and can leave 'end-points' unlicensed if you want to, but it's not stupidly expensive anyways. It works well and i would recommend it. I would advice against the built-in windows RDP just from a security point of view. One of our O&M computers that it had running was hacked through that because its' apparently stupidly easy to brute-force, although you can probably secure it better.

We have teamviewer deployed company wide, it's pretty rad for 2020 since the client deployment can be updated via a centralized profile configuration. I update the profile settings for Intune group A, and they all update within a couple minutes. At my last place we used ScreenConnect (it's called ConnectWise Control now) and I liked it a lot for inter-office connections. It was easy to search by computer name and logged in user and... some other criteria. Team Viewer has needed some tweaking. I don't have any experience on the system administration side with ConnectWise, but I've heard it's not great on the security. Keeping it within the building was not as big of a deal for the small shop I was in. One cool thing about it was we were able to run powershell commands on the client PC so I was able to do some dinky poo poo like update the system time or see if some software package was even installed and running without having to interact with the user.

Splashtop is a cheaper alternative.

Wait what. New job I started at last week uses ConnectWise. I spent 15 minutes remoted into a machine yesterday trying to adjust the time before I found the correct credentials to get admin. I definitely need to learn PowerShell, yikes.

Splashtop, itiarian, tinypilot+VPN/tinypilot+tailscale/tinypilot+nginx reverse proxy+a domain name(not recommended without a netsec background and even then not really recommended, tailscale+putty, hypervisor+VPN/hypervisor+tailscale, there are millions of options.

Anydesk is great and we find a whole lot less lag compared to teamviewer which routinely makes me want to eat my computer
