[image] It’s the start of a new year here at Devolutions, which means that it’s my privilege to share our 2019 Road Map, which highlights the goals we have planned for the year ahead. Before getting started, I’d like to take a moment and thank all of our users for being such a critically important part of our world. Since launching more than a decade ago, we have been committed to listening to our amazing community — not just when you tell us what you like, but also when you tell us what we should improve or fix. We do not exist to serve ourselves: we exist to serve YOU, and to help you control the IT chaos in your organization. So once again, on behalf of everyone here at Devolutions, thank you for making us part of your organization’s security, governance and productivity solution. Now, please join us as we look ahead at some of the big milestones we have planned for this year: https://blog.devolutions.net/2019/02/devolutions-2019-road-map

[image] Updated January 24, 2019: We have added Zoho Assist! Please look below for the added Remote Desktop software review and also take a look at our updated comparison table. JoinMe vs AnyDesk vs Chrome Remote Desktop vs Windows RDP vs UltraVNC vs Remote Utilities vs TeamViewer (Personal Use) vs ScreenConnect vs LiteManager Free vs Wayk Now vs Zoho Assist In the same way there is an abundance of Password Manager software and 2 Factor-Authentication methods to choose from, finding the perfect remote connection software for you or your company can be as hard as finding the perfect date on Tinder. But don’t worry, we’ve worked hard and done the background search so you won’t have too. After much in-house debate and research, the following are our favorites free remote connections: join.me , AnyDesk , Chrome Remote Desktop , Windows Remote Desktop Connection , UltraVNC , Remote Utilities , TeamViewer (Personal Use), ConnectWise Control , LiteManager Free, WaykNow and Zoho Assist . Remote connection software helps users work on a computer through another computer. These programs are a must for technical support staff, as they enable IT pros to help when physical access is impossible. It also allows anyone to start or attend meetings, collaborate on projects, and discuss business, even when they are nowhere near their desktops. So let the comparing begin: https://blog.devolutions.net/2019/01/updated-2019-most-popular-free-remote-desktop-solution

[image] Happy New Year everybody! I hope you all had amazing holidays, and that Santa (or whoever your gift source is) decided you were nice instead of naughty.n My approach to getting back to work after taking some time off is like my approach to getting into a pool: it’s best just to jump right in instead of one small bit at a time. So let’s get going and take a look at one of my favorite new features in Devolutions Password Server (DPS) and Wayk Now: Chat!

[image] It’s hard to believe that two years have passed since we introduced Wayk Now . Back then, it was simply a local network instant remote support tool. And really, the only significant difference between Wayk Now and Windows RDP was that it worked better with Remote Desktop Manager because we controlled the code.

As you hopefully know, about three months ago, we introduced Wayk Now. This new tool lets you take control of a remote computer, or allow an authorized user to take control of your computer.

Hello together, following combination leads to a wrong keyboard layout (ver. 0.9.3): -> Wayk Now Host German Keyboard layout (+ english layout installed but not active) -> Wayk Now Supporter German Keyboard layout (+ english layout installed but not active) Typing on the host will result in an english keyboard layout on the host, switching to english layout (Alt+Shift) will lead to the german keyboard layout. The keyboard layout on the supporter pc (when typing locally) stays untouched. Best regards, Hermann ps: sorry, posted in the wrong section. Please move it to the bug section.

Hi, Is it possible (or in the plans) to connect to a remote system, not on the same network like AMMYY?
