Which VNC Software Is Best?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the connect-the-dots dept.

Futurepower(R) writes "Which VNC software do you think is best, and why? There are several free programs, for example, TightVNC, RealVNC, UltraVNC, and TridiaVNC. Or, is it better to pay for VNC software, like Tridia VNC Pro or Radmin? Which is fastest, most secure, and the least hassle? Which has video resolution scaling of the remote desktop?"

    The first question is which VNC programs are GPL. This is the most important factor in finding the best VNC out there.
