What is remote connection software and what is it used for?

Suppose you have a problem with your computer system that you do not know how to fix it or you have trouble running a software program you have just bought. In this case, you are probably trying to solve the problem with the help of your expert friend's verbal explanations or the software the support team. But what can you do if you cannot solve the problem with verbal explanations? In this case, as the only solution, you need to have a friend or an expert examine your system, find the problem, and fix it. What if this person is not able to examine your system in person due to the long distance or any other reason?

The good news is that there are remote control software programs that allow a person to remotely do whatever they want on your system without having to be present behind your system. These programs are called remote connection software.

Simply said, if you and another person have remote software on your system and you are connected to the Internet, that person can easily connect to and access your computer system with your permission. In this case, that person controls your system on their own system. In other words, that person sees your system screen, moves your system mouse with their own mouse, and types on your system with their own keyboard as if they are the user of your system.

There are hundreds of different types of remote connection software with various specific features that you can use for remote access. But what are the features of a good remote connection software program? Which software is the best choice for remote connection? To find out the answer to these questions, read the following sections.

Our Criteria for Remote Connection Software Selection

Before writing this article, we have tested many remote connection software programs to select the most suitable ones for our work (Virtual-User software support). As a result, for examining and selecting the most useful remote connection software programs, we have developed a number of criteria which are listed below:

  • Cost: Most remote connection software programs require you to pay a fee, but a small number of them are available for free. We have considered the free items only.
  • Simple UX: The user interface of some of these software programs is simple and straightforward and does not require special knowledge and expertise, while others have a complex appearance and are suitable for more specialized cases. Being able to use the software easily is very important for our users.
  • Speed: Many of these software programs operate with high speed and transfer images with a satisfying speed while others have slower connection speed. This slow speed causes losing many scenes during the image transfer. As a result, the user is annoyed while using the software.
  • Continuous Connection: Some software programs establish a good connection with the remote system and do not suddenly disconnect. Some others are frequently interrupted during access, making it difficult to work with the remote system and annoy users.

Finally, based on these criteria, we have selected two remote connection software programs to introduce to you:

  1. Distantdesktop
  2. Completely free, excellent speed, easy to use, including basic features

  3. Iperius Remote
  4. Completely free, good speed, easy to use, including basic features,
