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?"

    Are we limiting these clients to *nix? Is there a reason to not use Windows Remote Desktop Connection? I use it on all of our Windows servers, and really, until I see a need, why should I use another? It is faster than any of the hardware (dell DRAC card or KVM IP), and if I connect via a VPN to a secured LAN first, is there a security concern?

    Yeah, I know you want a VNC based solution, but the Microsoft/Citrix remote Desktop Protocol rocks.
