This makes it tedious to find specific types of machines. While it supports using tags to categorize the systems, these tags are also limited to the group you are viewing. I’ve not seen any filtering options – no way to hide offline systems. The customized names in the address book don’t remain when you connect – it changes to the connection ID/number. This means – if I have BUSINESS1 – BUSINESS2 – HOME – and I want to search for a computer that I can’t recall where it is, then I’ll have to switch between each category and then search.

The way it works is a bit tedious – and the search is limited to the group you’re viewing. I don’t know what the limit is with the address book in AnyDesk, but I’ve not exhausted it so far. There are no meeting options available at current from what I’ve seen.

By “runs portable” that means you don’t have to install or setup anything. The program runs portable by default and gives you the connection options immediately. Remote ConnectionsĪnyDesk is one of the fastst to get going. I need to know exactly which group the system I’m looking for is in before I can do the search – or else it will constantly turn up blank. Let’s say I have “FAMILY” separate from “BUSINESS1” and “BUSINESS2”. The main issue is the inability to search across the entire set of addresses – searches are restricted only to the category you’re in. Of all the different remote connection tools I’ve used, AnyDesk’s address book isn’t the best but also isn’t the worst. I say this because of the way the address book is structured.

IMO – the product is more geared towards managing a few organizations with the option of immediate support. The product is priced cheaper than TeamViewer and has very similar features. This was a quick writeup and solely based on my usage of the product.ĪnyDesk has come up out of Germany much like TeamViewer. Customization – 3/5 (customization a bit tedious).Address book – 3/5 (uncertain of limit – search is tedious).Ease of setup – 5/5 (one of the easiest to setup/instruct on use).
