UltraVNC

Pros

It is free, has a bunch of very good resources, the connection is pretty good, works very well even on poor connections, the bandwidth control is one of the best which I have seen. Therefore, it has some features such as file sharing, chat, and the deployment and configuration are pretty easy on both sides: administration and clients.

Cons

Do not have so much cons about it, just on the support side, because the software is free. However, it has a good documentation to follow, but you need to have some network and server side skills.

Pros

Installation and configuration for UltraVNC was super simple. Our remote clients often had very un-reliable and slow connections, but UltraVNC was able to cope with it with it's high compression algorithms to enable to efficiently manage remote systems and provide support.

Cons

There were odd occasions where the server would not run correctly as the driver did not load, but was not often an issue and more likely to be a PC issue.

Pros

The most advantageous feature of this software is that it is free of cost and can be installed as a service allowing systems to be accessible at every reboot.

Cons

Fixed password and limited accessibility makes it an undesirable option for corporate use.

Reasons for Switching to UltraVNC

Pros

I like using this tool as I can easily connect between PS's on the same network ( in my case ) and I can check what is happening with each PC in timely manner. Also, I am able to share files between these PC's which can be really useful when I need to edit and upload some configuration file for instance. Of course, this connection is always password protected.

Cons

UltraVNC sometimes tends to bug, which is why I need to path through Services to the affected PC and check if there was any issues with it's Services. It would be nice to have a feedback, whenever appropriate Service is not running properly or it has some issues.

Pros

I've never had any issues with UltraVNC, it works as it should. The automatic clipboard synchronization is a simple, but well received feature that lots of similar software doesn't seem to include.

Cons

The only thing that I would list as a con about the software, is the need for port forwarding on the machine acting as the VNC server.

Pros

UltraVNC is so easy to use. It is a great software. It allows remote support quickly and effeciently.

Cons

Remote support over a slower connection can be problematic.

Pros

I like the ability to instantly remote into a computer.

Cons

Sometimes the display settings are a bit funky.

Pros

It is a very light application, very smooth installation, easy operation, stable connection

Cons

sometime remote connectivity freeze during high latency network utilization

Alternatives Considered

Pros

I like custom key send option and can insert administrator credential trough the ultravnc.

Cons

Sometime it's services stuck and unable to establish connection.

Pros

First of all, UltraVNC is totally free: it is developed under a GPL license which allow the users to implement and develop its code to realize a better software over time.
The interface is quite "old style", it has everything you need to start and work out your remote session.

Cons

The interface: absolutely "old style" and totally out of time. It's a PRO on one hand (read previous pros), but on another hand it's a total CON if we think about the modern app and software interfaces.
The usability is not as good as it should be for newbies.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Ease of use UltraVNC is simple to install and configure, and has an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Cons

Risk of invasion, despite the security measures, UltraVNC can be the target of hackers or malware that try to access remote computers without authorization

Pros

This application allows me to connect to other machines stress free without having to physically go to the machine to perform simple tasks

Cons

The interface is very dated, I'd love to see a more updated UI

Pros

The free option has enough features to satisfy most remote support needs

Cons

Often the driver for the server connection malfunctions and a connection cannot be established.

Pros

UltraVNC is light, works on old and new machines, multiplatform, plenty of customizations

Cons

Sometimes customisation bring you away from the core business

Pros

UltraVNC is a great open source solution for remote desktop connections and being free for commercial use means big savings if you've got a lot of users that need occasional support. The software is small and easy to install and includes a variety of options to suit different Internet connection speeds. There's also a Single Click version that allows you to create a custom executable that can be distributed to customers preconfigured to connect to your IP address which saves them needing to configure the firewall at their end to support incoming connections.

Cons

Compared to some proprietary software like Microsoft Remote Desktop and TeamViewer the screen updates appear to be a little slower and there can be occasional glitches that need a screen repaint. While not a big deal for remote support incidents it may be worth looking at other options if you're intending working over a remote connection for extended periods of time.

Pros

For someone that uses remote servers for their work having trustworthy vnc connection is crucial. I used Ultra VNC for half year and I can say that this is great solution if you want simplicity. It’s open source, works even when connection is slow, very easy to navigate, you need only server name and password to connect.

Cons

I’d prefer to have some optimizations for really slow networks for example do not refreshing the screen or refreshing partially.

Pros

Very light tool that can be easily installed remotely

Cons

Nothing: for my needs it is absolutely perfect: please don't change it !!!

Pros

When it was working properly the basic functions were reasonably stable.

Cons

Very frustrating from a configuration point of view.

Cons

The viewer interface is a aware of the remote control while is on .

Pros

After everything is configured Ultra VNC is a breeze to use, all we need is the PC name and password.

Cons

I with Ultra VNC had a function to black out the users screen. We find that they often don't understand that we need them to stop what they're doing in order for us to help so a fight over the curser ensues. For the same reason a chat feature would be nice.

Pros

This software is Free of cost and provides a wide range of resources. Also, the features such as file sharing and chat is really easy and quick.

Cons

Outdated UI which would not attract new users. UltraVNC should upgrade their software and make it more user friendly and modern.

Pros

Features include file transfer and remote control.
The possibility to change the compression to improve the quality of the connection is very useful.

There are no advanced features and the user interface is outdated.

Cons

The features are lacking and the free aspect is shown in the pacing of the development.
