Due to work requirements, I frequently use remote desktop software. I spent time testing five free options: TeamViewer, DeskIn, AnyDesk, Awesun, and Parsec. Below, I share their performance in remote work, gaming, and video streaming to help those seeking reliable remote tools. Most tests were conducted via phone-to-PC and MacBook-to-PC connections.


Free Remote Desktop Software Spec Comparison

remote desktop software comparison

Note: The "four major platforms" refer to Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.


Remote Work: DeskIn Outperforms Awesun

Among the five, only DeskIn and Awesun allow commercial use in their free versions. TeamViewer, AnyDesk, and Parsec require paid upgrades. Thus, I focused on DeskIn and Awesun for work scenarios.

Basic Operation: DeskIn Feels More Intuitive

Both DeskIn and Awesun have clean desktop interfaces, with quick access to features like text chat and dual-screen switching. However, DeskIn offers faster and more stable connections, while Awesun feels laggier.

Awesun’s scroll wheel sensitivity is too low, making navigation clunky compared to DeskIn’s smooth scrolling.

DeskIn Desktop/Phone Versions

DeskIn’s mobile app is the most user-friendly I’ve tried. Its touch + mouse hybrid mode and gestures (e.g., window switching, web browsing) work seamlessly. The screen response is lightning-fast, even on phones.

voice calls with remote devices

Bonus features: messaging/voice calls with remote devices and a Task View shortcut for quick window switching.


task view shortcuts

Awesun’s mobile app also has a hybrid mode and a single-layer menu (phone-friendly). However, it lacks Task View shortcuts and communication tools (e.g., voice calls), forcing users to rely on third-party apps for collaboration.

File Transfer: DeskIn Has No Speed/Size Limits

DeskIn’s mobile file transfer is paywalled (desktop is free). Speeds are impressive: 5GB over Wi-Fi takes ~3 minutes. Awesun allows free transfers on all platforms but limits files to 1GB, restricting usability.

Remote Input: DeskIn’s Shortcuts Shine

For the typing section, the desktop versions are quite similar, so I won’t compare them. Instead, I’ll share the experience of using a phone to remotely control a computer.

Both DeskIn and Awesun mobile versions have keyboards that occupy about half the screen, making typing relatively comfortable.

However, DeskIn has a significant advantage: it allows users to pin frequently used shortcuts (like copy and paste) above the keyboard or on the remote screen. This makes it easy to copy desired content while typing and paste it where needed. Users can also customize shortcut keys:

Awesun, on the other hand, hides shortcuts in a menu. When I want to copy selected content, I need to switch to the shortcut menu, press copy, then switch back to the keyboard. The same applies for pasting, making the process quite cumbersome.Additionally, after using a shortcut, returning to the keyboard requires pressing "Default" instead of "X." The naming is confusing, and I often pressed the wrong button initially, which was really frustrating.


Other Three Apps Briefly Reviewed:

TeamViewer: Feature-Rich but Slow Transfers, Clunky Mobile UI

  • Slow connections (free version), especially on mobile.

  • Full-featured desktop with a “leave message” function post-session.

  • Painfully slow transfers: 5GB took 30+ minutes.

  • Mobile mouse controls lack touch integration; copy/paste shortcuts are buried.

AnyDesk: Fast Transfers, Chinese Input Issues

  • No installation needed for desktop, but UI feels outdated.

  • Blazing transfer speeds rival DeskIn, but laggy visuals (1-2 sec delays).

  • Mobile menu hidden on the right edge (minimalist design).

  • Input bugs: iOS struggles with third-party Chinese IMEs; Android lacks delete functionality.

Parsec: Great for Gaming, Useless for Work

  • No Chinese support, but setup is simple.

  • Desktop version lacks basic features (no file transfer).

  • Mobile app (Android-only) is barebones: no zoom, no Chinese input.

  • Ideal for gaming (smooth, adjustable bandwidth), but avoid for productivity.

Remote Gaming Scenario Comparison

For the gaming section, I tested "using a MacBook to remotely play Diablo IV on a PC" to evaluate each software’s connection quality and latency. This scenario reflects my occasional use case: taking a MacBook Pro out for work and wanting to game during breaks if my home PC is on.

TeamViewer

First, I tested TeamViewer. While playable, it felt noticeably sluggish, with delayed movements and occasional screen freezes, resulting in a subpar experience. Setting the quality to "Speed Priority" did not improve performance.

DeskIn

Next, DeskIn impressed me. The visuals were sharp, and gameplay remained smooth for 30 minutes. It also displays real-time FPS and latency stats. DeskIn offers 4K 60fps and 144fps options (paid version only), which would enhance gaming further.

high frame rate

AnyDesk

AnyDesk delivered the best image quality among the five and smooth gameplay. However, I noticed a critical issue: the remote PC’s CPU usage spiked to 70-80%, causing loud fan noise and raising concerns about long-term hardware strain.

image quality

Awesun

Awesun performed smoothly except for brief stutters during scene transitions (e.g., returning to town). Its Mac version had stability issues—crashing after one session and requiring reinstallation. It also lacked audio.

Parsec

Parsec excelled in gaming, offering flawless Diablo IV performance with adjustable bandwidth settings to minimize latency. It also supports multiplayer rooms. If gaming is your sole focus, Parsec is a no-brainer.

Remote Video Streaming Comparison

Streaming videos via phone-to-PC tests each software’s latency. I tested YouTube, Netflix, and local files. Three performed smoothly: TeamViewer, DeskIn, and Parsec, but with caveats.

  • TeamViewer: Smooth playback but extremely low volume (no mute option), forcing sound output if the PC plays audio.

  • Parsec: Great speed and audio, but mobile lacks zoom (full-screen only)

  • DeskIn: Flawless sync and no issues.

  • AnyDesk: Mobile audio is broken (iOS/Android)—no sound despite settings.

  • Awesun: Choppy audio and desynced visuals, indicating poor connection quality.

How to Choose Remote Desktop Software

Prioritize features (file transfer, device communication, keyboard ease) and low-latency connections. Additional tools like DeskIn’s screen extension and voice calls add value. Cross-platform support (iOS/Android/Windows/Mac) ensures future flexibility.

Top Remote IT Support Software to Boost Your Productivity in 2025

Imagine working from a cozy café in Barcelona when your client's computer crashes halfway across the globe. Previously, this scenario would have meant hours of frustration, endless emails, or an expensive on-site visit. Now, with remote IT support software like DeskIn, you can troubleshoot and fix issues in minutes, no matter where you are.

an IT support working remotely

These tools have transformed how remote workers, freelancers, and digital nomads stay productive, making mobility and efficiency a reality. In today’s globalized workforce, remote support tools are essential for keeping devices running smoothly without physical access. Whether you’re a tech-savvy freelancer or a business owner supporting a distributed team, the right remote IT support tools can save time, cut costs, and reduce stress.

The Rise of Remote Work and IT Challenges

Remote work has exploded, with 80% of companies planning to maintain hybrid or fully remote models in 2025, according to a Gartner report. But with teams spread across time zones, IT issues like software glitches, connectivity problems, or security breaches can derail productivity. Remote support software bridges this gap by allowing instant access to devices for troubleshooting, updates, or maintenance.

For example, I once helped a client recover critical files after a system crash using remote IT support tools. Without leaving my desk, I accessed their PC, diagnosed the issue, and restored their data—all in under 30 minutes. These tools empower you to solve problems fast, wherever you are.

Key Benefits:

  • Speed: Fix issues in real-time without travel.

  • Cost Savings: Avoid pricey on-site technician fees.

  • Flexibility: Support devices on Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android.

Did you know? Businesses using remote support tools save an average of $11,000 per year on IT support costs, per a 2024 TechRepublic study.

Key Features to Look for in Remote IT Support Software

Not all remote support software is created equal. To choose the best free remote access tool, focus on features that align with your needs as a remote worker or freelancer. Here’s what I prioritize after years of testing tools:

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: The software should work seamlessly across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. DeskIn, for instance, supports all four, making it ideal for diverse setups.

  • Security: Look for 256-bit AES encryption and two-factor authentication to protect sensitive data. A 2023 Cybersecurity Ventures report notes that 60% of remote access breaches stem from weak security.

  • Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface saves time. Tools with cluttered dashboards or complex setups can slow you down.

  • Performance: Low latency and high-resolution support (like 4K at 60 FPS) ensure smooth connections, especially for tasks like graphic design or gaming.

  • File Transfer: Quick, secure file sharing is a must for sending patches or retrieving logs.

Actionable Tip: Test the free version of a tool like DeskIn to ensure it meets your needs before committing to a paid plan. Check for lag, ease of setup, and device compatibility.

How Remote IT Support Tools Enhance Your Workflow

As a digital nomad, I rely on remote IT support software to stay productive on the go. Here are three ways these tools transform workflows, with examples from my own experience:

  • Troubleshooting Client Devices: A client once called me in a panic because their CRM software kept crashing. Using remote support tools, I accessed their PC, updated the software, and fixed the issue in 20 minutes—all while on a train.

  • Collaborating with Teams: During a project, my team needed to share a design prototype. With DeskIn’s screen-sharing feature, I projected my screen to colleagues in different countries, making feedback instant and seamless.

  • Managing Personal Devices: When my laptop froze during a deadline, I used a remote IT support tool from my phone to restart it and recover my work, saving hours of frustration.

Pro Tip: Use remote support software with voice call features to guide clients through fixes while you control their screen. It builds trust and speeds up resolution.

Top Remote IT Support Software to Boost Your Productivity in 2025

Imagine working from a cozy café in Barcelona when your client's computer crashes halfway across the globe. Previously, this scenario would have meant hours of frustration, endless emails, or an expensive on-site visit. Now, with remote IT support software like DeskIn, you can troubleshoot and fix issues in minutes, no matter where you are.

an IT support working remotely

These tools have transformed how remote workers, freelancers, and digital nomads stay productive, making mobility and efficiency a reality. In today’s globalized workforce, remote support tools are essential for keeping devices running smoothly without physical access. Whether you’re a tech-savvy freelancer or a business owner supporting a distributed team, the right remote IT support tools can save time, cut costs, and reduce stress.

The Rise of Remote Work and IT Challenges

Remote work has exploded, with 80% of companies planning to maintain hybrid or fully remote models in 2025, according to a Gartner report. But with teams spread across time zones, IT issues like software glitches, connectivity problems, or security breaches can derail productivity. Remote support software bridges this gap by allowing instant access to devices for troubleshooting, updates, or maintenance.

For example, I once helped a client recover critical files after a system crash using remote IT support tools. Without leaving my desk, I accessed their PC, diagnosed the issue, and restored their data—all in under 30 minutes. These tools empower you to solve problems fast, wherever you are.

Key Benefits:

  • Speed: Fix issues in real-time without travel.

  • Cost Savings: Avoid pricey on-site technician fees.

  • Flexibility: Support devices on Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android.

Did you know? Businesses using remote support tools save an average of $11,000 per year on IT support costs, per a 2024 TechRepublic study.

Key Features to Look for in Remote IT Support Software

Not all remote support software is created equal. To choose the best free remote access tool, focus on features that align with your needs as a remote worker or freelancer. Here’s what I prioritize after years of testing tools:

  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: The software should work seamlessly across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. DeskIn, for instance, supports all four, making it ideal for diverse setups.

  • Security: Look for 256-bit AES encryption and two-factor authentication to protect sensitive data. A 2023 Cybersecurity Ventures report notes that 60% of remote access breaches stem from weak security.

  • Ease of Use: A user-friendly interface saves time. Tools with cluttered dashboards or complex setups can slow you down.

  • Performance: Low latency and high-resolution support (like 4K at 60 FPS) ensure smooth connections, especially for tasks like graphic design or gaming.

  • File Transfer: Quick, secure file sharing is a must for sending patches or retrieving logs.
