As you know, TeamViewer is a good software for remote control/ remote computer access . But it's not free at all, if you used it many times, you may got a commercial use detected or suspected announcement everytime you try to connect. That's time you need to decide to purchase a license to use it more, but wait a minute, let see another good software look like TeamViewer but absolutely free - called UltraViewer.
UltraViewer - The best TeamViewer alternative software
If you're consider to buy a TeamViewer license, you will reliazed that it's quite expensive, the cheapest license called 'Business' cost 749 usd, and that's not all because there are some hidden cost. Especially about the upgrade or install on different computers.
For example , you have two computers and want to install TeamViewer on two computers, you will not able to use the 749 usd Business license, you will need to buy the Premium version cost 1499 usd for install on 2 computers. That's so expensive but not all. If you can have a find on the internet, about the hidden cost of TeamViewer, you will see some complain about the upgrading. They will charge you a lot for an upgrade between each version (TeamViewer 7-> TeamViewer 8/9/10/11...).
UltraViewer - the best TeamViewer Alternative
Now is time to come back to the main subject of this post, you're finding an alternative software that can work like TeamViewer but more cheaper. That's why i'm talking about UltraViewer. UltraViewer is a software that designed to remote control/access a computer for support. It mostly look like TeamViewer and work like TeamViewer, but the price is quite quite cheap. I'm not sure why TeamViewer is so expensive, but i sure UltraViewer will save a huge of your budge.
You can download UltraViewer here (free for personal use) and click here to see the price table of UltraViewer , i bet you will be a susprise about the cost of UltraViewer compare to TeamViewer.

You really cannot call it the best alternative to Teamviewer yet until your program also supports Mac computers.TeamViewer allows remote connections to both Windows and Apple computers.So, maybe you should say you are the best alternative to TeamViewer if one only uses and connects to Windows computers.You are correct that TeamViewer stopped using only the MAC address. They changed it to where it records your Windows-generated Hard Drive ID Number and Windows-generated User Account SID number.
Hi O-Qua Tangin Wann, thank you so much for leaving a comment. You're right, i'm forgot to talk about Macbook, but with me it is the best alternative in Window. Hope UltraViewer will have a version on Mabook soon.
@DucFabulous: I'm not sure about MAC, but having a Linux version as well, would rock. I am not sure as of why you are making this free. Sure we all love the idea, but why free? Also for when will there be a Linux version? .rpm probably would work best.
@Bogdan Bartos: We have some sponsors to give the software free for support startup. We will create a version for Linux too, please wait for it. Thank you very much!
@UltraViewer: Well, it's more than a year since it came into discussion a Linux version. Sadly, nothing, to date. Such a version would be very interesting (for all the major distributions). Especially if it could work on Raspberry Pi, too. I hope this it will be available soon.
Thank you.
I agree with all the sentiments stated here. For my job, I do a lot of remote support. I've looked all over for a good remote support program, and so far every one of them has had their drawbacks. The lack of good options out there is to the point that I've seriously thought about trying to create my own; however, that is a big enough undertaking that I haven't tried to do that yet.Recently, I've been using Team Viewer, but there commercial use thing always gets me. I would have paid for their professional version a long time ago, except for the ridiculous price tag. I could understand a $100 or $200 price, but $700 is just ridiculous.I tried the UltraViewer out just now and it seems to work decently well. The color rendering seems off just a bit, and the screen rendering seems a little slower than I'm used to, but otherwise it seems like it could be a promising alternative. The setup was very straightforward and worked without forwarding any ports or anything.I wish you guys all the best. Good luck.
Thank you so much Madison Knight, your comment will be a best motivation for us to upgrade our product. We will make the color better and speed more faster and more and more soon... Wish you all the best , have a nice weekend!
Madison, I agree with you 100%. And to make matters even worse concerning TeamViewer's $700 charge: that extremely high fee only covers the one numeric version. In other words, you pay $700 for Version 10, and then they want more money to buy Version 11, etc.Thank you to DucFabulous. An UltraViewer program that can easily connect to either a Windows or Mac computer would be great.Good luck...and Happy Holidays!
Agree with Madison as I am in a very similar situation and if this product is developed further and priced correctly - it should do very well.PS anyone know how to send CTRL+ALT+DEL? - or is it not yet available?thanks and best of luck
Hi Capotec!That's a good idea. We will support forward Ctrl + Alt + Del in next version soon.You can using Ctrl + Shift + Esc now instead if you want to run Task Manager on remote computer.Please tell me if you need any further assistance!
Great program. Some things you guys can add in would make it a whole lot better*The ability to copy/paste between remote computer and main computer*Black out screen, lock screen ect.*More securityIn time I would be willing to pay for this, but please don't overcharge like team-viewer.
great software for nowbut im not able to do copy paste from remote pc to my pc, hope you fix this issueonce more suggestion for me, allow multiple connection by open new tab, not new windows like now
great alternative for teamviewer, which I shy away from purchased it because of the very high cost.well, I just tried it for a day.seems like the performance is about 80% of teamviewer.can copy paste between remote and my computer, can send file too from the chat (while teamviewer can send file from remote).problem is, if the connection on remote computer is slow, it frequently disconnect, while on the same connection and remote computer, teamviewer can still connect and stabil.hope u can get the same stabil and speed connection like teamviewer. on that time, I would be willing to pay it, just dont too high like teamviewer. keep up the good work
Please contact us at contact@ultraviewer.net and let us know more details like where are you living, so we can increase the network latency problem of our server at that region.
Thank you for your program.I tried today and so far is good.But, can you make target computer wallpaper removed?So we can gain more speed and acurate mouse control over remote computer.And file transfer is one of helpful function if can be done.Sorry for my bad English.
Dear Plasta,We will add feature to remove wallpapaer soon. Please contact us at contact@ultraviewer.net and let us know more details like where are you living, so we can increase the network latency problem of our server at that region.The file transfer feature is already available, please press F1 to show the chat panel and drag the file you want to the chat panelWe're still developing the portable version, please come back later to download it.
This app is not a replacement for teamviewer (YET) and that is key, to make it a replacement we need support for mobile devices, windows, apple, android, need an account based login to add all your remote machines to without having to remember ID's, add options to transfer sound, files, etc, this app is good for instant quick support right now but once you have unattended it will make it a little better and once you add all the other above features than it will be a complete teamviewer replacement
Hi..this application is very helpful... Just saying for a few concerns: Can you improve the security? The Pc where you installed this don't have the ability or rights to exit or end task this program without entering the password.. And as Admin set full access to UltraViewer, anytime i can freely connect to that pc, using admin rights, the only message appear on his/her screen is "Admin (bla bla bla) is connected, keyboard and mouse input disabled"... No choice but to watch and wait until admins finish checking up the PC.. something like that? is this possible? Maybe it would be better to have two installer: 1) UltraViewerClient and the other is UltraViewerServer... something like this...hoping for your favorable action regarding this matter...Good luck! You have a very light and helpful application BTW... This will rock more if you improve a little bit...
Great Software...Just suggestion for your next upgrade (if any) version :- Improve the "lack" time between pc's, 'cause responds the client pc had little more times then using t-viewer- improve connection stabilizer- file transfer abilityHopefully Ultraviewer and DucFabulous team making more great success ..Thank you.-Ipoy-
UltraViewer already have file transfer feature, you can press F1 to show the chat panel and drag file to the chat panel.About the connection stability and speed problem, please contact us at contact@ultraviewer.net and let us know more details like where are you living, so we can increase the network latency problem of our server at that region.
Could you please do something with the possibilities for a group of PC-'s. I have 3 laptop's at home and couple of friend who regularly needs my help. In this moment, I can not save the ID's that I already connected with.
It's my opinion Teamviewer have priced themselves out of reach of many individuals and small businesses.This represents a glaring gap in the market and a opportunity that Ultraviewer could fill. Your product does need to be free, it just needs to work well and be priced correctly and people will buy and use it.
In addition to Ultraviewer, you can also have a look at alternatives like on premise R-HUB remote support servers, logmein, gotypmypc etc. They work well.
i suggest there can add more languajes or create a place to do that integration (multilenguaje) add the spanish/Españoli see there are functional, i think there have many things there can do ;) i think there i can suggest to many friends if add in spanish.BR, Apuromafo
I finally got the Commercial use for teamviewer and i am limited to 5 min at a timeI was looking for alternative and I can live with Ultraviewer if i could save the ID and add a name beside it.Now i have to keep a notepad open with the name of my computers and ID.. I just use that to control other laptop in the house so i dont have to get up and help a friend or two when neededI really really would like a way to save the ID/Password when i connectAlso an android version would permit me to play with my computers from my tablet when i am on holiday.Thank you so muchPaul
Hi,Would say that this program has features comparable to Teamviewer.However, I have problems connecting to servers that is hosted by 3rd party hosting companies as they do not have monitors attached to the servers. And connecting to these servers, it will result in blank screen whereby Teamviewer does not have this issue.
I am using TeamViewer for personal use only. Most of my documents are on my desktop computer so whenever I use my laptop at the library or remote locations, I need to access files on my desktop computer.Again, TeamViewer is for my personal use only.
Hello. UltraViewer looks like a promising peace of software. But I have found that some things that aren't working as I would expect.For example the SHIFT key doesn't work in some situations. It is not possible to delete the files permanently without moving them to Recycle Bin with SHIFT+DEL shortcut. Pressing SHIFT+DEL only wants to move the files to Recycle Bin, the same way like pressing only DEL does. Also it is not possible to mark the text with SHIFT+left arrow or SHIFT+right arrow keyboard shortcuts.Also when I change the software keyboard on the remote computer to my local language, it doesn't accept some characters from my notebook keyboard or USB keyboard attached to my notebook. So on the remote computer it is impossible to write some characters with the diacritics such as Á, É, Ú or Č, Š, Ž, because the diacritic signs ´ or ˇ doesn't work.I'm connecting from Windows Vista to a remote Windows 7 computer.But anyways, thanks for your software.
