The difference between enterprise and desktop are documented here: I went and looked at the website for product information and found that they've improved bits of it. I suspect for what folks like you and I are concerned with, enterprise desktop is all we need. Yes, the licensing is confusing and they do not do a good job differentiating their products. This is really great when you need to slap a machine in the warehouse and give people access to Windows-based services on a VM in a non-dusty, half-full coffee cup free, forklift filled environment I also discovered that you can use NX on an RPI4 for to provide a low cost smart terminal with responsiveness equal to running the same application on the local machine.

My user base is a lot of video editing and NX is the only solution that works streaming SD and sometimes HD to a work from home environment. For that, anydesk is the best optional I've found so far.įor me, NX was necessary because it provides a high-speed high-quality Remote Desktop. I would not use no machine/NX for Remote IT/systems management. Please convince me that it is worth looking at again :) I really want to like the software and service but I simply cannot understand why NM is even still a thing when (for example) the Anydesk offering is free, is easier to configure, doesn't need the prospect of port forwarding and works well though is a bit crap for business environments). Logging in - As far as I can tell I would need to create a hidden admin user on MS and Apple machines so that the end-user sees 'PC Support' just connected rather than their own username. Ports - Seriously in this day and age you still need to forward ports on some routers to be able to use NM?

Can someone please explain is idiot-proof terms the differences? What is the difference between the free version and the Enterprise Desktop version? To me, there is no difference at all.

I've toyed with NM in the past and like what I see but why do they make it so damn difficult to use?įirst off, the different packages. I am an MSP / remote support engineer with one employee (me) and about 300 endpoints (a mix of Microsoft and Apple) currently using a combination of Atera, free Splashtop via Atera, Teamviewer (rolling out) and AnyDesk (replacing with TV).
