There are times in your work life when you don't have a computer with you, but you have to use it.
At this point, you may need a remote control software.
But in the face of a large number of software on the market, it seems to be almost the same, and the 100 help plan is ...... usedAs a product manager, Brother Dog may have stepped on more pits than the software you have used, and he has been criticized by the boss because of software problems. Therefore, in order to reduce the possibility of training for those friends who have not yet found suitable software, today we will talk about this topic - remote control software lightning protection evaluation.
There are many remote control software on the market, but today we have selected five popular and commonly used ones: Todesk, Sunflower, Raylink, and TeamViewer Splashtop.
They are because they have not only been tested by a large number of users, but they also represent two different forces, both domestic and foreign
These are the best of the best seed players, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and I hope to provide you with reference based on the actual evaluation results.
If we want to conduct quantitative analysis based on traditional software thinking, we probably need to consider the following factors
Depending on the use case, the focus is different, so almost all the software on the market has a lot of fans, but at the same time, it can also prove that no one is absolutely perfect.
Therefore, how to do a good job in software lightning protection, we have to find it in combination with the actual use link, and the following 5 places are the dimensions that need to be paid attention to
1.Ease of use: It is convenient to use, and there is no technical threshold.
2.Stability: Maintain stability during remote operation, no flash crash and crash, etc.
3.Security: Whether the connection method is secure and whether information will be leaked.
4.Multi-functional: It has a number of black technologies and is compatible with multiple scenarios.
5.Value for money: If you need to pay, it's not worth the money.
In the following software inventory, we also start from these 5 dimensions.
Ease of use refers to the difficulty of getting started, which is mainly reflected in compatibility, registration, login, interface, operation steps, etc.
Compared with foreign remote control software, domestic remote control software obviously has more advantages, and the UI design conforms to the Xi of domestic users and is compatible with various usage scenarios and common equipment. Among them, Todesk and Sunflower support 5 mainstream operating systems Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux for free** installation, while Raylink does not support Linux system for the time being.
Foreign remote control software was established earlier than that in China, basically covering all major systems. Their official website is generally the first to recommend the enterprise version, we need to find the personal version**, TeamViewer is on the [Free**] page, and Splashtop finds the personal version. TeamViewer supports Microsoft, Google, QQ, or Apple account login, and Splashtop supports QQ email registration.
In terms of login, the domestic Todesk login method is the most complete, and it can accept APP, WeChat scanning code, mobile phone verification code, email, account and password login;Sunflowers are second;Raylink only supports passwords, mobile phone verification codes and WeChat scan code loginTeamViewer and Splashtop can only be logged in with the corresponding email account.
In terms of client interface, the 3 domestic software are roughly the same in terms of remote control connection, all of which enlarge the local device** and temporary password, you need to fill in the blank box with the other party's device**, fool-like operation steps, novices do not need prompts to get started.
TeamViewer and Splashtop have very different interfaces. The main interface of TeamViewer is similar to that of the domestic one, and it also uses a shared ID and password for access, mostly in the form of initiating a session, and currently supports the Assist AR function, but the manual consent of the controlled end is required before the session is opened, and the connection difficulty is relatively simple, but Splashtop is more complicated.
Splashtop has a lot of product systems, and the personal version is green. I use win10 and iphone as the main control, and the win side is installed according to the ** version but the version is not supported, and the mobile phone display request timed out. Click Add Remote Computer to automatically control the Splashtop StreamerNovices must have a big head here, do you even connect yourself?This pop-up logic is a bit inexplicable. The correct solution is to close the pop-up and paste the connection to the controlled computer**.
If there is no account display after Splashtop is installed, you need to delete the streamer and restart itIt's a bit ridiculous that the mobile phone page pops up different network prompts, which are actually advertisements for upgrading payment, and click "not interested" to start creating a connection, and the overall experience is: a number of settings are not clear, and it is easy to be misled.
Ease of Use Rating: Todesk = Sunflower > Raylink > TeamViewer > Splashtop
You don't want to be in a hurry and suddenly "disconnected".
If we quantify the performance of the software in this regard: latency, frame rate, packet loss rate, clarity, transmission efficiency, etc., then Todesk, Raylink, and TeamViewer perform better among these software.
Todesk can achieve point-to-point direct connection of more than 60fps and maintain a delay of 1ms 3ms, almost no delay is felt, 0% packet loss rate, and the display is still smooth under the quality of the original picture, which is similar to localization operations.
The frame rate of the sunflower free version of the picture is different,The bandwidth occupation is as high as 600kb s,The delay reaches 209ms when the frame rate is only 6fps,It really affects the ** experience。
In terms of Splashtop connection performance, the frame rate is about 40 to 60 fps with an average bitrate of 003mbps,Resolution1080p,The latency of daily use is generally around 100ms,But it's very limited to watch**,The delay is as high as 400ms,The picture is seriously stuck (as shown in the figure below,Not a static picture)It affects the **experience。
Then, the free version of TeamViewer only has a connection function, and there is no performance monitoring on the mobile terminal, so I use win to control win, connect in the form of a session, and you can see that the bit rate in the remote connection can reach 13mbps, and the ping value is 6ms, which is still quite smooth. However, in the process of actual operation, there have been many network disconnections and offline, or commercial judgment to withdraw from the program, pay attention to lightning protection!
Raylink computer connection is very fast,Low frame rate image quality is average,Even if you choose4K, its frame rate still doesn't run,There are requirements for equipment,Frame rate and latency are less than 10ms,On the other hand, its mobile connection is very stuck!The repeated connection also times out, and then it is directly disconnected many times, the latency is high and the clarity is also extremely poor, and the ligatures are all mushy!
Stability ratings: Todesk > Sunflower > Splashtop> TeamViewer > Raylink
Software security is a very important dimension, which is related to our vital interests. We can also observe that these popular remote software have also put effort into security, deliberately making security a separate directory for users to set independently.
Let me briefly talk about the highlights of the security of these software:
The three domestic software basically use public and private keys, that is, device ** and temporary passwords, and all provide custom passwords of no less than 8 characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, special characters, and numbers.
Among them, ToDesk provides 5 types of temporary password update frequencies, with wider dimensions and more intimate choicesSecurity authentication allows native and manual consent, and can also block the screen and prohibit other personnel from operating through the privacy screen and keyboard and mouse lockMoreover, multiple remote prompts need to be authorized to be turned on, and the remote double-ended provides a close button, which allows the user to disconnect the remote at any timeThere is also an automatic black screen to prevent the financial account from being defrauded, etc., and there are more rights and interests in security settings, and there has been no security incident.
The old friend Sunflower security settings are also very comprehensive, providing two-factor authentication access, security certificates, domain name access, etc., and recently found that they have added connection security protection, which is to send a prompt or automatically interrupt the remote connection when harmful software such as Trojan viruses is detected, and you can also set a list of sensitive processes.
In the process of use, Sunflower has had a large area of software crash problems, which affects the user experience.
Splashtop security settings are relatively simple and useful with the ability to add an extra password to connect, require authorization when connecting, lock screen at end of session, lock keyboard and mouse, and enable black screen.
TeamViewer is mainly a basic personal version of the settings such as blacklist and whitelist lists, two-factor authentication, other authentication, and security key redirection, and you can only pay for more.
Raylink has little to offer in terms of security mechanisms, not even more than any other software.
Security ratings: Todesk > Sunflower > Splashtop > TeamViewer > Raylink
Because today's software generally provides a variety of versions, and the function coverage of each version is different, let's just take a look at the functions of these free versions.
Todesk has the most abundant free functions, remote transfer of files, printing, boot, lock screen and other office operations, in addition, you can also enjoy intelligent lossless, 3D mouse, camera, privacy screen, extended screen, mirror screen, voice call, annotation and other long-term free functions, there is a detailed introduction in the official micro article
Sunflower Free has basic features similar to Todesk, but there are no screen extensions or other screen sharing classes, and the black screen feature must be in the list of commonly used devices.
TeamViewer remote printing, mobile device support, etc. are all commercial categories, the free version can only enjoy remote connection sessions, remote restart, file transfer, whiteboard, message, lock, etc., unlike other software, the control panel can provide general information about the device, and even disk cleanup.
Splashtop Personal has basic features like a black screen, locking keyboard and mouse, and key-pasting, but I found it to be a great feature for mobile screensClipboard synchronization can be selected from local to remote or from remote to local, remote double-ended single selection or full selection.
There are many problems in the practical operation of raylink, for example, the inability to enter letters during the password entry stage;After requesting to turn on the privacy screen, the wallpaper of the main controlled end will be directly killed, in which case the wallpaper cannot be restored;What's even more speechless is that after turning on its [mouse lock] function, the mouse can't go beyond the range of the remote control desktop, if you don't remember the exit shortcut, you can only force the program to disconnect, which is not conducive to the safety of the main control equipment.
In summary, each has its own characteristics in terms of functionality, and the lightning protection policy can be selected in the following order according to the dimensions that can enjoy the most free functions and the least number of problems.
Free feature ratings: Todesk > Splashtop > Sunflower > TeamViewer > Raylink
No matter how good the promotion of some software is, it is better to try it in person, and only after trying it will you know that some money does have to be spent.
Of course, as for whether it is worth it or not, it depends on how much it costs.
The versions of these software are relatively rich, and they are also very flexible.
Among them, Todesk covers the widest range of areas, which can be said to be rich and thrifty.
If you just need remote desktop software, then I personally think that its professional version is enough to meet your needs, pay less than a cup of milk tea per month, and you can also superimpose other redemption codes to enjoy instant discounts, RTC+VIP exclusive high-speed computer room channel, which is more cost-effective than building it by the bigwigs.
As an old domestic remote control software, Sunflower's pricing is also relatively generous, and the paid version only needs 128 years.
But if you want to say the most generous, it must be Raylink, which is now completely free.
However, it doesn't necessarily meet your need for "performance".
And the paid version of TeamViewer, anyway, Brother Dog personally said that he couldn't accept it, so he passed it directly, if you are richer, you can consider it.
Splashtop Personal starts at $33 per month and goes up to $113 per year and can be extended to access up to 5 computers. Antivirus protection is purchased separately and billed at $1 per computer20 (excluding tax) month.
As for the other versions**, they are shown in the image below
According to different needs, the "performance" you need is also different, so the "cost performance" is really not easy to say, so we can only sort it according to the lowest level of payment**.
The pillar is **, the shorter the better.
Price-performance rating: Raylink > Sunflower > ToDesk > Splashtop > TeamViewer
On the whole, todesk is relatively prominent, basically able to cover various needs, even if it is a free version, its comprehensive performance is still useful in a variety of software, and the performance is good, so it is the one that Brother Dog personally recommends.
Sunflower is an old domestic remote control desktop,The performance in all aspects is also relatively mature,Even if Brother Dog doesn't say it,It still has a large number of fans,It's just that the functions provided by its free version are relatively simple,So the payment is more rigid。
Teamviewer is a relatively early one used by Brother Dog.,Later I replaced it when I paid for it.,This time I re-experienced it.,It can only be said to be so-so.,It's not as good as the others in terms of stability and ease of use.。
Splashtop feels that the steps are unclear, you need to retry repeatedly, and it is extremely unfriendly to novices, and the picture is clear but the latency is relatively high, which is generally suitable for graphics-intensive needs, such as PC-to-PC remote work for designers.
Raylink function has few permissions, weak security settings, the only benefit is free, but comprehensive its remote values, the performance can't keep up with the service, the computer is connected to the computer is simple to use, and the mobile terminal is not recommended.
