Teamviewer: Top 3 alternatives for Android
The "Teamviewer" is the standard solution to control the home PC via Android. But there are also good alternatives - we present three of them.
Splashtop 2 attacks the top dog Teamviewer
The widely used Android software "Splashtop 2 - Remote Desktop" is currently the easiest and most functional way to control your PC remotely via Android.
- After downloading the app and the associated PC software, all you have to do is create an account and you're good to go.
- What makes it special: The app supports Windows 8 gestures - so your Google tablet quickly feels like a Microsoft product. To top it off, this program is also completely free and can be classified at least on par with the "Teamviewer".
Outsider opportunity: Alpemix Remote Desktop Control
There are numerous less well-known apps in the field of remote control - one of them is "Alpemix Remote Desktop Control".
- The ease of use is particularly noteworthy here. You won't get around an additional application for your PC, but the connection is very easy - either with fixed access data, an on-demand request or a created user account.
The expensive alternative - the Remote Desktop Client
With the current price of 10.83 euros, the "Remote Desktop Client" is no longer the first choice for remote access to the computer.
- However, the app scores with its high security standard, which also enables it to be used in a professional environment without risk.
- This app also supports the Windows 8 Metro interface.
It remains: the agony of choice
In this practical tip, we will show you three useful competitors to the well-known "Teamviewer". All have been tested and are in no way inferior in terms of functionality and operation - so you don't have to pay attention to that. Choose your favorites according to the goal you are pursuing: professional or private use, quick access or a high level of functionality. In any case, you can't go wrong with these apps. However, remain skeptical about other alternative offers in the Google Play Store.
