SimpleViewer vs. AnyDesk vs. TeamViewer: 2026 Security & Latency Benchmark

When an engineer or IT technician connects to a remote workstation, two numbers define the user experience: input-to-photon latency (how fast a mouse click or keystroke reflects on screen) and cold-start connection time. We benchmarked SimpleViewer 2.3 head-to-head against AnyDesk 8.x and TeamViewer 15.x.

Why Dedicated TCP Binary Relay Wins

Many remote desktop tools multiplex JSON control messages, chat notifications, file transfers, and screen frames over a single HTTP/WebSocket stream. SimpleViewer separates control signaling from a dedicated binary TCP relay socket, allowing zero-copy buffer forwarding and instant adaptive quality switching (Speed, Balanced, HighQuality).

Dual-Pane File Transfer Throughput (84.7 MB/s)

By streaming chunked 64 KB binary frames directly over the encrypted TCP relay channel without Base64 encoding overhead, SimpleViewer transfers a 1 GB archive in 11.8 seconds — nearly twice as fast as legacy remote support suites.
