Who it's not forCasual users who just need to reach one home PCVendors without five-figure budgets
PrivacyVendor markets secure-by-architecture, but CVE-2026-14208 (CVSS 7.3) and attacker abuse undercut that claim.⁶No public security page found; UpGuard reports no phishing; G2's own DPA references a past data breach.
Support qualityNo direct evidence in sourcesTrustpilot and BBB complaints about G2's service
Public sentimentMSPs and sysadmins pick it as a self-hosted AnyDesk replacement and rate it 4.2/5 on G2, but complain about antivirus flags.¹Buyers find G2 useful for breadth, but sentiment on G2's own service skews negative on Trustpilot and Redditors weigh it against Capterra and Trustpilot.
Biggest gotchaExpect antivirus flags. Prepare AV exclusions and vendor documentation before rollout.⁵Vendor contracts are negotiated and opaque; budget five figures annually before committing.
