Around two years ago, competition arose from within the company's own ranks: Three former employees put the proprietary tool AnyDesk on the market.

The proprietary software TeamViewer is the top dog among remote desktop applications. Typical functions of this type of software include screen sharing, remote maintenance, and file transfer they also often allow audio and video chats.

Many experienced PC users help family and friends manage and maintain their computers.
