Many users have asked us to compare
Real VNC and Radmin. We are providing this comparison
but the best way to evaluate Radmin is to download
it. The 30 day free
trial version is fully functional.
Obviously from this table, Radmin is the winner
over Real VNC in features supported. We are confident this superiority
will continue as our engineers strive to improve the software.
What the table does not show, however, is that Radmin is much
easier to use. In fact, some Real
VNC settings frighten even experienced Windows users. For
many users, the most significant comparison is support.
Real VNC gives no technical support, whereas Famatech delivers
free e-mail support of Radmin.
