Remote desktop software developments

Overview

The remote desktop software market includes both proprietary and open-source solutions designed for remote maintenance and hybrid work environments.

AnyDesk is a proprietary platform utilizing a custom DeskRT codec to achieve low latency. It offers features such as portable USB use and mobile access via Android. To assist with system reinstalls or migrations, a dedicated Backup4all plugin has been introduced, allowing administrators to back up AnyDesk user data, configuration files, and registry entries.

As an alternative, RustDesk provides an open-source option developed in the Rust programming language. It emphasizes data sovereignty by enabling users to host their own infrastructure rather than relying on third-party cloud servers. RustDesk includes end-to-end encryption and cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
