MightyViewer

Nowadays working from home is habitual and remote sessions are a daily routine for most, especially in large networks with many nodes and servers that need to be working without interruption. While Windows comes with its popular RDC tool, other third-party tools strive to deliver a more generous feature set and more control to the system administrator.

Here comes MightyViewer, a VNC remote control and monitoring tool with support for multiple workstations, allowing quick and easy connections to many workstations from a single, centralized dashboard.

MightyViewer is easily installed but keep in mind that a VNC-type server based on the RFB protocol is mandatory for the application to be able to connect to the target PC, as a direct connection is required. TightVNC is the recommended option, as it is created nu by the same developer.

This remote-control utility is perfect for network administrators and engineers, regardless of the size of their LAN. With its help, admins are able to keep a close eye on all the devices in the network, whether we are talking about a desktop workstation or a laptop, an ATM or other types of controllers. Quick remote access and control are a game-changer, increasing the productivity rate, reducing errors and minimizing downtime. Moreover, the tool can be used for computer maintenance and troubleshooting for both employees and customers.

Working with MightyViewer is a breeze, as you only have to configure the remote connections once and the application will store and remember them all. The main window hosts a list of all the available connections, allowing you to preview the remote screen. Double-clicking on any starts the remote session in a new tab, granting full control over the target PC. In other words, you can use MightyViewer to control a PC remotely as if you were right in front of it.

Adding a station to the list requires you to fill in a form with connection details, starting with the host address and continuing with the port number and the password, if any. To make it easier to manage a larger number of connections, MightyViewer allows you to assign human readable names to each remote session and group connections.

Despite its somewhat deceiving name, MightyViewer is not just a remote viewer. It allows you to take over and redeem control of any PC in the LAN remotely with just a few clicks, which turns it into a valuable tool for engineers and IT developers, system and LAN administrators, education and research, as well as tech support and consulting teams.
