CrossLoop – Simple Secure Screen Sharing
Deozaan:
I just heard about SplashTop. I haven't used it myself, but from what I've heard, it's very fast (unlike TeamViewer, which takes forever sometimes to update the screen).
It might be worth looking into.

The different tasks need different solutions. I try to one-way remote control of my students with TNM.

@ADNY78 - Nice! I took a quick look and TNM seems like a very ca[able tool for remote monitoring and tech notification. I'm going to have to play with that a bit when I get a chance.
But I didn't see that it had a remote desktop feature which I feel is essential for providing remote support to a client. Did I miss it by any chance?
:)

Thx for the heads-up Deo. I'll give it a try. :)
FWIW I never found TeamViewer to take forever to do anything. It's as light or lighter than any other RD tool I've ever used. But I guess it really all depends on the the quality and speed of the network connection so YMMV.

I exaggerated a bit when I said it takes forever. But I have experienced it taking several seconds to update the screen when there were large changes, such as opening or minimizing a window.
I tried SplashTop on my PC from my Tablet (Tablet to PC connection) and it works pretty well over WiFi. I think you have to pay if you want to use it over the internet. But I would agree that it seems to run a lot more smoothly than TeamViewer does. I like it.
