Connect to remote computers and create remote desktop sessions for providing technical support, file transfers and PC management.
UltraViewer is a remote desktop control and file transfer application that can interface between linked computers. The software offers users the ability to control each other's computers by inputting a partner ID and password, and sharing screens for easy access and management.
Easy to install and get connected
The installation process is quick and uneventful and allows you to establish a connection with your partner rather quickly. The UI has an instant chat window for real-time communication with the user receiving support. As we'd expect, it sports a secure connection, something that is useful for anybody who wishes to protect sensitive data.
When it comes to the user interface, it's rather predictable with a double-panel window that displays the user's and partner's credentials. UltraViewer offers the option to change the details of the connection through the Options window. Once a connection is established by providing the proper credentials, the user to manage the other computer remotely with ease, by inputting the Partner ID and password, and hitting the Connect to partner button.
Since UltraViewer is less well-known that many of the other programs in this category, it certainly has some drawbacks. There've been some problems and glitches that have popped up in the past and bugfixes are slow coming. Performance is a weak point compared to competitors, with bouts of lag and performance drops.
Security concerns and based in the PRC
As UltraViewer is based in China, there are a number of security concerns. That means it may not be available in certain countries where a number of Chinese apps and software have been banned. It also faces considerable competition from other remote desktop control software, such as TeamViewer and AnyDesk.
Weak compared to the competition
TeamViewer, for instance, is very similar to UltraViewer and offers the same overall features, but with higher bandwidth, reducing lag and increasing performance. AnyDesk, on the other hand, is much more responsive and outperforms UltraViewer in terms of remote control, support, monitoring, and even with its chat function.
How we see it
In conclusion, UltraViewer is a small but stable software designed to allow remote desktop control and file transfer between linked computers. It's easy to install and use, and allows for secure connections, making it a handy tool for providing technical support remotely. However, its limited reach, less-known nature, and weaker performance compared to competitors, makes it a less attractive option for many users.
