    Team Viewer requires installing a TeamViewer add on, but UltraVNC plays with whatever VNC server you have.

    AnyDesk is far faster than UltraVNC. Both in terms of encoding and framerates.

    Anydesk also captures sound and can send keys all keystrokes directly to the server.

    Both LogMeIn and UltraVNC offer remote desktop connection and control. Though their approaches to doing so are different, the end result is still, at its core, the same.

    On-Premise currently only supports Windows & Ubuntu variant distributions but source-code is readily available.

    Includes convenient ~200mb client installer & branding customization features.

    Project is on hiatus as of about a month ago (Aug 23, 2021) due to change in dev personal living arrangements.

    Heavily recommend supporting this one and all his endeavors, this sort of thing only comes around once in a blue moon!
