The most trusted remote desktop software

Sourceforge Best Voice of Customer Software 2022

Gartner Peer Insights Best Voice of Customer Software 2022

What is Chrome Remote Desktop?

Chrome Remote Desktop is a free remote access tool developed by Google that allows users to securely connect to another computer over the internet. It enables remote access and support by letting users view and control a remote device’s screen. While it is convenient and easy to set up, Zoho Assist provides a more comprehensive solution with advanced features like file transfer, chat, multi-monitor navigation, and robust mobile app support, ensuring seamless remote assistance and enhanced productivity.

Chrome Remote Desktop
  • Here’s why Zoho Assist is a highly effective alternative to Chrome Remote Desktop

  •  

    Seamless communication and file sharing features

    Provide video or audio assistance to your customers, or even connect with them through VoIP-based calls, right from the Zoho Assist application. Chrome Remote Desktop only supports communication with end users via text, making it difficult to share files. Whereas Assist - best chrome remote desktop alternative, helps you transfer up to 5GB of files from your desktop to your customer’s remote device. This process is highly secure and uses industry-standard encryption. Learn more

  •  

    Instant connection

    Zoho Assist, a Google Chrome Remote Desktop alternative, is a lightweight tool that downloads automatically, allowing you to start a remote session with just one click. You can also enable automatic uninstallation of the application once the session ends. In contrast, Chrome Remote Desktop requires users to sign in with a Google account, which can slow down the remote support process.  

  •  

    Industry-grade protection

    Chrome Remote Desktop only supports HTTP encryption. Meanwhile, Zoho Assist, a free remote access software, offers a wide range of security features, including 256-bit encrypted SSL for data exchange and multi-factor authentication. You can also record and monitor every session with Zoho Assist, and save it to the cloud. 

  •  

    Hand-held compatibility

    Zoho Assist is multi-OS compatible, making it easy and efficient to establish a remote connection between cross-OS platforms. Transcend the limitation of only being able to access via a mobile device and cannot remote into that Android or iOS device with Chrome remote desktop by switching to Zoho Assist. 

  •  

    Remote printing

    Zoho Assist - free alternative to chrome remote desktop, is a powerful and modern tool that offers remote printing, a feature that isn't available with Chrome Remote Desktop. Print any file from any location using the local printer connected to your device with just a click. Learn more

Zoho Assist vs Chrome Remote Desktop

  •  

    Zoho Assist

    Chrome Remote Desktop

  • Functionality

    Zoho Assist is a comprehensive remote support software that helps technicians take quick remote support sessions and troubleshoot client device issues.

    Chrome Remote Desktop is a remote desktop software by Google. It enables users to securely access and control their computer or mobile device from anyplace using the Chrome browser or a dedicated app.

  • Platform support

    Supports multiple platforms - Windows, Linux, Chrome, Raspberry Pi, Android, Mac, iOS.

    Specifically designed for Chromebook devices.

    Various features such as instant chat, file transfer, multi-monitor navigation, session scheduling are provided. Learn more

    Features such as instant chat, handling multiple sessions simultaneously are not supported.

  • Security

    Supports 256-bit AES end-to-end encryption. Learn more

    Supports the native Chromebook security mechanisms.

  • Pricing

    A 15-day free trial, along with a free version is available. Learn more

Why switch to Zoho Assist when Chrome Remote Desktop Software is available for free?

Zoho Assist is a superior, more powerful, and professional remote support solution while remaining simple to use. Our feature-packed free edition surpasses competitors in every aspect. As a free alternative to Chrome Remote Desktop, Zoho Assist also offers flexible pricing plans, allowing you to upgrade to the best option for your remote support needs. Check our pricings here.

  • Unrivaled hand-held compatibility:

    Remotely connecting to a handheld device using Chrome Remote Desktop requires signing in with the same Google account on both the browser and mobile app, making it impossible to provide remote support to customers. In contrast, the Zoho Assist mobile app, available for free on both Google Play Store and Apple App Store, allows you to effortlessly start a remote session and support any device on the go—right from your pocket.Learn more

  • Versatile remote support platform:

    Chrome Remote Desktop is a basic free remote support application with minimal features easily trumped by Zoho Assist's industry grade feature-rich tool, where you can start a voice/video/text chat with your customer from the application while in a session, remotely print, record a session, manage departments and much more focused on making your remote support experience, organized, professional and easy. Learn more

  • Secure, reliable & fast:

    Chrome Remote Desktop requires google browser and google account which might poise a security vulnerability, whereas Zoho Assist is a cloud based remote desktop software that supports end to end encryption that can be used to connect from any device swiftly. Learn more

Setting up remote access with browser extensions

Using Zoho Assist's Chrome plugin, setting up remote access has never been easier. This browser extension allows you to connect to remote computers quickly and securely without complex configurations or software installations.

Download Zoho Assist's remote desktop app for mobile assistance

Zoho Assist brings its powerful remote support capabilities to mobile devices with dedicated apps for iOS and Android. Technicians can initiate and manage remote sessions directly from their smartphones or tablets, offering greater flexibility and convenience. Users can receive support on their mobile devices without needing a computer, ensuring quick issue resolution on the go. The mobile app also includes features like file transfer, chat, and multi-monitor navigation, enabling seamless and comprehensive remote support from anywhere.

Download the Zoho Assist mobile app from the App Store or Google Play to get started.

I looked at quite a few solutions like Teamviewer, Bomgar and Google Remote Desktop... Eventually, I stumbled on Zoho Assist. Well, I suddenly felt the search is over. It was right there, just a click away. It had all the core features I was looking for and the biggest drive for me, just like any other SMB, was its simple pricing.
