Anslation Remote
Anslation Remote vs Remote Utilities. Installed modules, or a browser tab?
Pick Remote Utilities when you want to control Windows computers, keep a Host on them for unattended access or run your own server. Pick Anslation Remote when the person you help should share from a browser with nothing to install and every session must be approved and audited.
In short
Is Anslation Remote an alternative to Remote Utilities?
For help where the person sits at their computer and you only need to see the screen, yes: they type a one-time code into a browser page, and your team works in a web console. Remote Utilities is stand-alone software: a Viewer on your side, an Agent or an installed Host on theirs, full control and an optional self-hosted server.

| Question | Anslation Remote | Remote Utilities |
|---|---|---|
| What the person you help runs | A desktop browser and a 9-digit code | The Agent, which runs without installation, for attended help |
| Works in a web browser | Yes, for the person you help and for your team | No, it is stand-alone software |
| Keyboard and mouse control | Not in the browser: view-only (a preview helper program can, once the person allows it on their computer) | Yes, from its Viewer |
| Unattended access | Screens: no. Terminal commands: with the optional agent and an access rule | Yes, with the Host installed on each computer |
| Hosting | Run by Anslation | Its own servers, or a self-hosted server you run |

Setup and safety.
- SetupRemote Utilities has your team install or run its Viewer, and the person you help run its Agent, which shows an Internet-ID and a password. With Anslation Remote both sides use a browser.
- ConsentA Remote Utilities Host can be set to ask the user before each connection. In Anslation Remote the policy of each device or workspace decides who approves, and every step lands in the audit log.

Remote Utilities questions, answered.
Does Remote Utilities work in a web browser?
Its own help says no: it is stand-alone software, with modules installed or run on each computer. Anslation Remote runs in a desktop browser on both sides.
Can we host Anslation Remote ourselves, as with Remote Utilities?
No, Anslation runs it today. If self-hosting is a must, Remote Utilities offers a self-hosted server.
What does the person I help need with Anslation Remote?
A desktop browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari) and the 9-digit code your team gives them. No download and no account.
