PRO32 experts conducted a market study of remote access software required for geographically distributed organizations, as well as companies with remote and hybrid working modes. The study showed that most Russian TeamViewer analogues do not meet security requirements.
The departure of the TeamViewer developer from Russia motivated businesses to turn to alternative software, which led to an increase in the number of programs with similar functionality. Currently there are about 10 solutions to organize remote access in the native software registry. Additionally, foreign programs such as AnyDesk and Remote Desktop Protocol can also be used using a VPN.
Within the scope of the study, the most popular solutions that can be used as independent software were analyzed. Experts examined more than 50 parameters in areas such as operating system support, customization, management and security. The most vulnerable parameters of TeamViewer analogues were security and versatility of working with various operating systems.
More than half (55%) of solutions do not provide role-based access, creating the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data. Another important parameter that allows you to strengthen security is to track sudden changes in geographical location. To date, this functionality is provided in only 22% of solutions.
A third (33%) of the analyzed products are selective with respect to the user’s operating system and are only “friendly” with Windows and Linux.
