Remote control utilities are excellent for offering technical assistance over a distance, but most of them will leave you helpless if you want to help a Mac user from a Windows PC or vice-versa. Remotix can help you in this situation. It allows you to connect to any machine, regardless of its operating system, through a VNC server. The best part is that Remotix was built with ease of use in mind. Its automatic discovery feature will relieve you from searching for hosts on your network. Furthermore, it can establish a connection in just a few seconds, so you can start controlling a remote computer right away.

Remotix is available for Windows and Mac, as well as iOS and Android platforms. It does not come in separate modules and it can be installed in no time. Moreover, there is no need to install any additional tools on the client computer.

Remote hosts are listed on a user friendly interface, along with their IP addresses and labels which let you know if a host is online and if there is a VNC server installed. You don't have to install Remotix or any modules on remote computers, but you need to install a third party VNC server, which should take less than a minute. If you wish to set up a VNC server, you should know that Ultra VNC and Tight VNC are known to work quite well with Remotix.

The software allows you to add remote hosts manually, by specifying their names or IP addresses on a small window. For extra security, you may configure and use an SSH tunnel. Remotix can automatically detect a targeted computer's VNC server type and its operating system, but you can specify them yourself, for each host, if you wish to connect faster.

Besides adding hosts one by one, you can also use a variety of scanners to find them on a network. The software allows you to add one or more scanners, on the left side of the interface. You can add a Bonjour scanner, if it is installed on your computer or other scanners, for NetBIOS, network ranges and network netmasks.

It takes only a few seconds to find remote hosts on a network. When you spot the host you are looking for, you just need to click a Play icon, next to its entry. Unless a password is needed, the program will connect you to the remote computer almost instantly. Once connected, you may perform any action on the remote computer, share files, by clicking and dragging them and more.

Pros

You can connect to a remote computer fast and easy. The software can locate hosts on a network automatically. Remotix is cross platform, which means that you may control a computer, regardless of its operating system.

Cons

There are no options for sending messages to a remote user. Remotix offers a fast and easy solution for controlling remote computers, even if they are using different operating systems.
