    I have used it to remotely help my sister. My experience with it is meh. When I go to control the remote machine, it frequently stops responding to my mouse and keyboard inputs, and I have to ask my sister to click on stuff for me.

    The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

          It is hideously expensive and I am a very small company, just me, and 2 clients left. I am winding it all down.

              Here I am envious that you have your own company, and you say you're winding it down. What's wrong with you?

                Only free for private usage, not for comercial / professional one. He needs it for the company.

                  Is remote desktop not an option? I know you log off the remote user, but if you are going to take over anyways... As long as you don't log off, you can just close the RD window with your mouse and everything continues running in the background, then the local person logs in and can continue where you left it. You might want to have a look here [^] too, VNC would be a nice option (I have used it a while and did everything I needed).

                      Anydesk works very very well. In case this is not suitable for you, there is the already included in windows "Quick assist" which is slow, but it works. Hope this helps! :beer:

                            Had been using that but need to share screen with my users to troubleshoot and train them. Also their Network security is a problem.

                                        RealVNC is a great alternative. I have used it extensively to control remote stations and never had a problem.

                                          Write something for yourself that you like. I liken it to whittling (with the app store in mind). In the process, I've become somewhat versed in Napoleonic battle field tactics.
