As of late many companies providing remote support using LogMeIn and TeamViewer are looking for similar quality software due to the high cost of these programs, which must be paid either annually or for each new upgrade. LogMeIn has terminated its free version LogMeIn Free making the situation difficult for its users.
Could LiteManager be a worthy replacement of LogMeIn and TeamViewer? We’ll try answering this question by comparing the programs.
Let’s draw a comparison between LiteManager, LogMeIn and TeamViewer based on the general criteria, functionality and cost in the form of a table.

In terms of features LiteManager is almost as good as its famous counterparts for a fraction of their price, it’s offered on the basis of a perpetual license and all updates are free, so after a one-time purchase the program can be used further on without any restrictions. In addition, there is an absolutely free version LiteManager Free.
LiteManager is suitable for administering Windows computers, with the possibility to connect to them on Linux and Mac OS platforms.
As seen from the table, LiteManager is unable to fully replace LogMeIn or TeamViewer, for example, it doesn’t offer Android and IOS service, a specific IT brain module, these modules are currently being developed. However, the program has a number of unique features like Task Manager, Registry Editor, Scheduled Screen Recording and Inventory.
