Comment summary: Distant Desktop is widely praised for its ease of use, speed, and intuitive interface. Users highlight its free availability for business use and portability. It's often compared to TeamViewer, with many switching due to cost considerations. While generally fast, a few users note occasional connection issues. The tool supports multiple simultaneous connections and offers features like file transfer, audio chat, and remote PC wake-up. Overall, it is appreciated as a reliable, no-cost alternative for remote access needs.

Its interface is very simple and clear. However the software includes all options needed for successful work. It even allows you to wake your PC remotely.

It has no limit for simultaneous connections. I am admin, and this tool helped me a lot in the LAN management.

Not bad. Usually works fine, but sometimes it doesn't allow to connect to my remote partner. Although in general it's OK.

It's not as annoying as Teamviewer. It's said that the app is free, and it's indeed free!

Overall it's a good software. Strong sides are:

  • unattended access;
  • small download size, portability;
  • clean and simple interface;
  • fullscreen mode.

Negative size is its speed compared to competitors. DistantDesk is a bit slow!
