We use TV 13 for everything inclusing Linux, and have been for many years. We will be upgrading to 14 when it's out of beta. We have enough corporate licenses for IT and several more for others to support their needs.
Nothing really compares at this level as far as the level of central control and logging.

Using ScreenConnect here and it works great. Works great for us on Deepin, but have had lots of issues with Fedora.
I also had issues with connecting to Fedora (28). The ol' black screen issue.
That is only an issue if you are remoting into a locked computer and cannot log in with the current user's password.
How often is that the case for people besides @scottalanmiller's specific desire to use it that way on a graphical jump box?
Most of the time people are normally connecting to a user's computer to fix their issue. This means no black lock screen.
Or you are connecting to a server with a known account, and can jsut blind enter the password.
That's not how we do most remote support. A lot, yes, but not most. Even when supporting Windows, the slight majority of connections are to a machine that is locked or logged out.

Self hosted screenconnect. Not sure what we will turn to when they stop offering maintenance subscriptions and our version gets too old.

Hopefully it lasts for a while yet.

It's already out of beta or do wait longer before upgrading?

Definitely out of beta. I installed it as a test on my desktop the other day. it pulled down 14.

So you are doing more maintenance than actually remote support with chat or on the phone with the customer then.

I know it's released, it has been for a bit. It's more like a live beta. There's issues on the back end and such I can't discuss due to NDA, so still beta honestly.

TV puts you under an NDA to be an end user? F that. That's the sign of a company that openly knows their product is garbage and has to threaten its users to keep news from getting out.
There isn't any review that could be as condeming as there being no review due to NDA. Welcome to Nutanix level tactics.
Hell the F no.

Quite often people want us to fix things when they are not sitting there, rather than interrupting them.

How did you come to that conclusion? That's a serious conclusion to come up with when I never said how, why, or what the circumstances were. I know many here are end users and not under an NDA. You have no idea why we are, and yet you say that?

And no, it's not at all similar to the Nutanix thing.
It was due to some collaboration with TV engineers for some pre-release things. Nothing to do with end user stuff.

ANYDESK FOR THE WIN, works on Windows/MAC OS X/Linux
Nothing (easy)will work for mobile forget it. Unless you install app to stream the session via HTTP and connect to machine on that network and see what is happening.
Dont expect the mobile user to be able to root or install any apps outside of playstore

Yeah, but it's the released version you can't discuss now. So the end result is the same, a gag on information on what they've released.

Because an NDA on things that are released to the public is exactly what Nutanix does. No one is asking for comment on something unreleased or non-public. How can there be a difference?

Notice what you divulged here... you are aware it is released and public. But you also know that there are issues with what has been released. And even thought it is released to the public, TV has gotten you under a gag to stop you from divulging things that you know, that other customers would need to know, but you are blocked from telling us. Your own description tells us it is a Nutanix situation, there is no conclusion to leap to, you've given us everything we need to know about the situation with the NDA.

Mine was for a lab system running Fedora. Most of the time, I remote in when they aren't using the system. Like, nights and weekends.

Lab is big, of course. That's what gets us a lot that @JaredBusch was mentioning. That and our Jump boxes. We use a lot of "remote access to remote access" systems. And a lot of off hours remote.
