as Teamviewer has stated that free users don't get security update and blank screen is disabled (introducing privacy concern). I would be cautious about using Teamviewer free in any event. Very cost effective and you get full features, security updates, etc. For supporting friends and family, it is priced at just $7 per month ($84 per year, billed annually). Millions of consumers and business are happy customers of Splashtop. SOS is high performance, secure, and reliable. Please give Splashtop On-Demand Support (SOS) Friends & Family Pack a free test drive. Has anyone used it or seen any independent reviews and security analysis? You have to also wonder about the security of their platform even if the company itself is legit. Given that this is remote control software that walks past routers as if they weren't there, I'm not about to install it without somebody vouching for it.

I've looked for alternatives before, so I'm wondering why I've never heard of them before or seen them in reviews. It looks like they are trying to knock-off TeamViewer in appearance as well as name. The site looks professionally done, they say they've been in business for 5 years, but I've never heard of them before and I can't find them on any top 10 or best lists for remote control software. I've found an alternative called UltraViewer. The last 3 times I had to make several requests before they did it and it look months.

The first 3-4 times, I used their web form to explain and they promptly lifted the restriction. For about the 8th time, now, TeamViewer has blocked access to my home automation PC with the 'commercial use detected' BS. I've been using TeamViewer Free for remotely supporting my elderly parents and to access a home automation PC that has no keyboard and monitor.
