Are you struggling with the limitations of TeamViewer’s free version? Free sounds good at first, but there are some serious disadvantages to the free version of TeamViewer. They won’t necessarily be solved by upgrading to an expensive TeamViewer commercial license, either. With Splashtop, you don’t have to blow your budget. Read on to learn more.
TeamViewer offers a free version of their remote desktop software for personal use. While you can use the free version of TeamViewer to remotely control another computer, you won’t have access to several vital remote desktop features (like security updates or remote printing). And you definitely won’t be able to use it for work.
TeamViewer Free vs Paid Version
If you’re comparing TeamViewer free vs paid offerings, you’ll find the free version lacks key features offered in the paid, commercial version (not to mention other remote desktop solutions). We know it’s tempting to go for the free version of TeamViewer, but here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t.
Limitations of TeamViewer Free Version
The free version is for personal use only. If TeamViewer suspects you are using it for commercial use, your connections will be blocked and you won’t be able to remotely access your computers.
The following features are unavailable in the free version: remote printing, blank screen, block remote input, and wake-on-LAN.
Lack of important security features including automatic security/feature updates.
Unable to add additional users.
Unable to access mobile devices to provide support.
Unable to access TeamViewer Tech Support via phone.
Imagine being in the middle of a project and getting locked out of your remote session! Not only is it frustrating, it’s downright disruptive. That’s unfortunately the experience of many TeamViewer free version users who have reported having their connections blocked for suspected commercial use.
Worse yet, some users have speculated that TeamViewer was trying to push them into buying a commercial license.
If you do need a remote desktop application for commercial reasons, you shouldn’t be pushed into an expensive license. And you don’t have to be, there’s a better alternative.
