Radmin vs NetOp, Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance, PcAnywhere, RealVNC and Dameware
Many users have asked us to compare the speed of Radmin with its competitors.
We are providing this comparison below, but the best way to evaluate Radmin's
speed is to experience it yourself.
Speed Comparison
The transfer speed of changes in a remote PC is the second most
important factor of remote access products (security, of course,
being the first). That's why we developed the benchmark Speed
of Transfer Test to make an objective study of Radmin 3 and
its six competitors. To emulate changes, we created on the remote
desktop a square window with a changing graphical area. The color
of each pixel in this area is generated randomly 100 times per
second. These changes are transferred to a client PC desktop.
The measured value was FPS (Frames Per Second), i.e. how
many Frames are transferred from the remote desktop to
the client PC each second.

The results of the speed test are shown in the table below (higher
FPS equals faster performance).

As you can see, Radmin is the overwhelming winner in the first
column and a close second in the other. Radmin is 1.6 to 318
times faster than our nearest competitors. Again, the best way
to evaluate Radmin's speed is to experience it yourself. Download

The conditions of the test
The sizes of the changing areas (32x32 pixels and 64x64 pixels)
were chosen to correspond to the size of most remote desktop
changes (buttons highlighted during mouseovers, changes in numeric
or text fields, cursor blinking, etc.).
Since the maximum color depth transferred by Radmin is 16 bit,
this color depth was chosen for every competitor . Some of them
don't allow choosing such depth manually, so the color depth
of the remote PC desktop was switched to 16 bit for the testing.
To equalize test conditions the desktop's wallpaper was removed
from the remote PC.
The speed tests were performed on an Ethernet 10Mb LAN (isolated
to exclude influence of other computers' net traffic) using
the following systems:
Remote server:
- OS: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
- Screen: 800*600, 16 bit colors
- Memory: 256 MB SDRAM
- CPU: Celeron 1.7GHz
- Video: SIS 315, 8 MB (on motherboard)
Client:
- OS: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
- Screen: 1024*768, 16 bit colors
- Memory: 320 MB SDRAM
- CPU: Intel Pentium III 999 MHz x 2
- Video: S3 Trio 3D/2X, 4MB
