If it’s flashy AR and VR features you’re after, then RealVNC Connect isn’t for you.

Don't get us wrong, walking around in a headset all day sounds cool and all, but our focus is on providing the practical tools that today's IT and helpdesk teams need to get the job done.

The features you need:

Don’t choose between accessibility and security

When you’re implementing remote access, you need to know your solution of choice can be trusted and practices a ‘secure-by-design’ mindset, especially when it comes to protecting remote connections.

For example, when you want to create a cloud connection to a remote device, it happens in two stages. First, you sign into your RealVNC account. Then, to enable remote control, you authenticate using the RealVNC Server app on the remote device. This means that no single password controls remote access, making the system much less vulnerable to hacking.

TeamViewer, on the other hand, has to undergo extra configuration to achieve the best level of security. You can even use TeamViewer’s basic installation without signing into an account, which means that your remote computer is only protected by a PIN and password, making it vulnerable to attacks.

Decentralized device IDs keep devices completely undiscoverable from non-authorized users

Choice of MFA options available that can be chained for extra layer of protection

2FA for account access and session authentication is enabled by default

RealVNC Connect is the first and only remote access solution to undergo an independent white box security audit. Read the summary of findings here.

The RealVNC Difference

Easier Scalability

When you grow, the last thing you want is to be hindered by software costs. TeamViewer charges for additional concurrent connections that can quickly add up as you scale your use.

RealVNC Connect offers unlimited concurrent connections, and with the choice to pay per user or per device, you have the flexibility to find pricing that works best for you. With RealVNC Connect, scaling up is made easier with the use of a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) client that can be deployed across multiple devices.

Consolidate on costs

Reduce your IT spend with a single remote access solution that lets you provide IT support, administer devices, and empower a remote workforce. You can tailor your RealVNC Connect plans to fit your business needs and budget, paying only for what you use to avoid extra costs.

Support any device or user, even if they’re on an external network

Like TeamViewer, RealVNC Connect also lets you remotely support end users on any remote device, even when they’re on personal devices or outside your corporate network. By integrating VNC server capabilities, RealVNC Connect offers centralized management for a wide range of devices, allowing for the efficient administration of VNC servers across different platforms.

Using our On-Demand Assist tool, you can offer just-in-time support for troubleshooting hardware issues, setting up devices for remote access, and controlling computers and laptops, all without the need to have software pre-installed on the remote device. And while TeamViewer requires a stable internet connection, RealVNC offers reliable solutions that ensure connectivity, even when your internet connection might be less than perfect.
