Are you network admin?
I use Draytek SmartVPN to connect to the router at work and then use the built-in Remote Desktop in Windows.

We use Teamviewer and Connectwise Automate to manage remote PCs.

We use Connectwise Automate, which is quite possibly the least intuitive and worst written piece of software I've ever used. The remote control agent is actually very nice, but my god the back-end is awful when you are used to using SCCM/MECM and Intune.

We use Connectwise Screenconnect and Teamviewer as a backup option

When I was on Windows it was all about mRemoteNG. For access externally RMM generally was either N-Able or Connectwise Remote.

I was lucky enough to get a splashtop personal license early on, and it still works really well for remote access.
Although now we're all working on laptops so no longer remote in.

RUSTDESK
MESHCENTRAL
Apache Guacamole - uses RDP/VNC - its more a gate access control but still usfull.
Remotely
are some other options
i've used pcanywhere, teamviewer, dameware, RDP, teamviewer and beyondtrust, probably a few others as well..
i quiet like BeyondTrust they implemenet the multi monoor well, and some nifty fetures also.
it really depends how you intend to use the remote access and from where, and what fetures you think you need.
do you need paid support? do you want it self hosted? or hosted in the cloud? how technical are you? our you external coming in to internal network? do you need a vpn/do you use a vpn? is it ipv6?
tbh RDP internal is ok, but it is a known attack vector, so dont have rdp enabled on externally facing internet machine ! thats asling for problems.

Never heard of Rustdesk, but it sounds like something I want to try out, thanks!

Used to use Radmin. Not needed it for years but found it very good. As well as a UI client also can connect to run command line commands and there's an FTP client I think. Not free however.

VPN into a "gateway" box and then regular RDP in via local IPs only with 2FA handled by Duo.
RDP isn't particularly forgiving for client-to-server connectivity issues though - TeamViewer handles that best but I wouldn't expose it to the internet.

I use https://www.supremocontrol.com/ because I like the fact that they don't charge per endpoint on the solo package.

Splashtop is worth a look for an enterprise use

VPN & RDP for our servers.
Client PC/laptops it's Teamviewer - not terribly keen personally!
