The working world has fundamentally changed in recent years. Remote work and hybrid work models have become central components. Both models promise flexibility and an improved work-life balance, benefiting employees. However, companies themselves can also benefit from this flexibility. Job placements are no longer limited to a specific geographic radius but can occur worldwide. At the same time, operating costs can be reduced by downsizing office spaces and minimizing business travel. According to IDC Vendor Spotlight, 77% of companies even forecast that by 2025, the majority of their employees will be working in a hybrid or fully remote capacity. 

However, what may sound simple at first requires extensive restructuring, especially in the areas of IT and security related to remote access. This is where AnyDesk comes in – a solution that enables organisations to manage remote access securely, quickly and efficiently. 

What is AnyDesk and what are the features? 

AnyDesk is a remote access software that allows you to securely access computers and other devices from anywhere in the world. It offers a range of features that are particularly useful for business purposes. 

• Top level security 

AnyDesk uses advanced encryption technologies such as TLS 1.2 and 256-bit AES encryption to ensure that all data transmitted between devices is protected. In addition, each connection is secured by RSA 2048 asymmetric key verification to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. The software also provides two-factor authentication. 

For companies with very high security requirements, AnyDesk can be hosted locally (on-premise), allowing full control over their own data. 

• Speed and performance 

AnyDesk offers exceptionally low latency thanks to the proprietary DeskRT codec, which is specifically designed for efficient transmission of screen content. With a frame rate of up to 60 frames per second and a latency of less than 16 milliseconds, there is virtually no noticeable delay. This makes AnyDesk an ideal solution for applications that require high graphic precision. 

• Compatibility and flexibility 

AnyDesk is not only compatible with Windows, but also supports MacOS, Linux, Android and Raspberry Pi. This cross-platform flexibility makes the software a universal solution for different working environments. Users can even customise their version of AnyDesk to suit their needs and integrate their own branding elements. 

• Collaboration and support features 

AnyDesk also includes several built-in tools that facilitate teamwork. These features include chat and whiteboard functions that enable real-time work and communication, as well as collaborative project work. 

• Stability 

Thanks to the DeskRT video codec, the software ensures stable connections even with low bandwidth, which is particularly beneficial when transferring large data packets. 

With all these features, AnyDesk effectively addresses the main problems of remote working, while providing flexible and scalable solutions for businesses. 

Advantages of AnyDesk 

In addition to the features mentioned above, AnyDesk offers following advantages for businesses and employees: 

1. Increase productivity 

With stable, fast access to remote computers and data, employees can work efficiently whether they are in the office, at home or on the road. 

2. Improved employee experience 

AnyDesk’s flexibility supports hybrid and remote working models, contributing to a better work-life balance. This eliminates daily commuting and increases employee satisfaction. Even management does not need to be in the office every day. 

3. Security and privacy 

AnyDesk offers a higher level of security than traditional VPNs. Granular access control and strong encryption ensure that only authorised individuals can access corporate networks and data. This zero-trust strategy provides effective protection against unauthorised access. 

4. Cost reduction 

Using AnyDesk can automatically reduce operational costs, such as reducing the need for physical office space and reducing the number of business trips. 

Success Stories and Practical Applications 

AnyDesk is now being used successfully in many different industries around the world. This shows how flexible and adaptable the software is: 

• AutoForm Engineering USA Inc. 

AutoForm, a global engineering firm, uses AnyDesk to provide remote access to high-performance simulation software. Before using AnyDesk, customers had to work on their own, often less powerful machines, which caused delays. With AnyDesk, customers now have direct access to the company’s powerful workstations without the need for full network connectivity. This has enabled smooth training and excellent performance, even with low bandwidth. 

• Amedes (Germany) 

A leading company in medical diagnostics, amedes has been using AnyDesk since 2016 to provide remote access to 2,500 computers across 90 locations. The company chose AnyDesk because of its high security requirements and runs the system entirely within its own corporate network. This approach ensures that no data is transmitted over the Internet.  

• ARD.ZDF Media Academy (Germany) 

This educational institution uses AnyDesk to provide media professionals with remote access to their specialised IT environments. Thanks to secure end-to-end encryption and low latency, AnyDesk provides students with a seamless learning experience – even for demanding tasks such as video editing. The software’s integration with the central learning management system further facilitates access, saving both time and travel costs.  

• Areandina University (Colombia) 

The university uses AnyDesk to provide students with remote access to devices and software within the campus network. This addresses the problem that many students do not have powerful enough devices at home. Thanks to AnyDesk’s seamless integration, students can access their university’s IT resources anytime and from anywhere.  

• SPONTENT GmbH 

In the world of sports and media, AnyDesk is used to manage live sports broadcasts on the streaming platform Twitch. SPONTENT uses AnyDesk to remotely control the technical operations of the broadcasts, greatly increasing flexibility and responsiveness during events. 

Why AnyDesk is the Solution for Modern Businesses
