How to use the RustDesk remote control tool in IDEAL ADMINISTRATION?

What is the difference between IDEAL ADMINISTRATION (including RustDesk), AnyDesk and TeamViewer?

I use AnyDesk to remotely control the workstations in my organization and I am satisfied with it. However, could you explain the difference between AnyDesk and your IDEAL ADMINISTRATION solution?

IDEAL ADMINISTRATION, AnyDesk and TeamViewer all allow remote control of a computer. However, their primary objective, technical architecture, and business model are different.


1. Solution Positioning

  • IDEAL ADMINISTRATION is a comprehensive Windows network administration tool that integrates remote control via RustDesk (LAN connection or via ID).
  • AnyDesk and TeamViewer are primarily solutions dedicated to remote control and remote support.

With IDEAL ADMINISTRATION, RustDesk is directly integrated into the administration interface, allowing administrators to manage and configure remote connections without leaving the console.


2. Feature Comparison

Feature IDEAL ADMINISTRATION
(with integrated RustDesk)
AnyDesk TeamViewer

Mandatory cloud dependency No (LAN operation possible) Yes Yes
License based on Number of administrators User / subscription User / subscription

3. Pricing Comparison (indicative)

  • IDEAL ADMINISTRATION: Perpetual license starting at €389 per administrator (volume discounts available).
  • AnyDesk: Annual subscription starting at approximately €300–400 per year.
  • TeamViewer: Annual subscription starting at approximately €600–900 per year.

The IDEAL ADMINISTRATION license is not tied to the number of devices on the network, allowing management of hundreds or thousands of machines without additional per-device costs.


Why choose IDEAL ADMINISTRATION?

  • Complete Windows and Active Directory administration
  • Real-time auditing of AD security events
  • Native RustDesk integration (LAN or ID)
  • Automatic configuration of the RustDesk permanent password
  • No additional agent required
  • No mandatory subscription
  • Cost-effective licensing based solely on the number of administrators
  • Centralized console for all administration tasks

In summary, IDEAL ADMINISTRATION goes beyond remote control: it is a comprehensive network administration solution that integrates RustDesk to simplify and secure Windows workstation management.
