Entrepreneur India brings a list of seven digital tools to widen your armory with software that provides an integrated set of solutions for companies of any size to enable them to work from anywhere.

We all have used this but today's time has made it more relevant. From the house of Google, Google Hangouts is a free communication software with additional paid features. One can easily conduct video calls with up to 10 participants or chat with up to 150 participants simultaneously. It can be accessed via mobile devices and includes key features on mobile such as video call hosting.

The best part is that you simply need your Gmail account to get started with Hangouts. Also, the paid feature lets you add up to 25 participants in the video call.

TeamViewer

Quite a popular tool, TeamViewer gives people easy access to their office desktops from anywhere. But to use this remote access platform, you need a trust factor to allow a person from your office to share your TeamViewer ID and password with, especially if it's your personal computer that's being talked about.

However, the solution enables you to see if anyone is accessing your device and you can uninstall it after the job is done.

Zoho Assist

This is an online remote support and access platform that empowers SMEs to make their systems more trustworthy at virtually zero cost, which has increased its user base. The platform can easily cater to unattended computers despite being web-based.

Zoho Assist's another competitive advantage includes its dual monitor support which ensures that controls can be switched easily, thereby enabling a user to save time rather than waiting for the technician during device access. However, its "Run as Service' command transfers the administrative privileges to someone else and hence, must be used carefully. After all, privacy is the need of the hour.

AnyDesk

We have been using this for a while now, but it's time to unleash its true potential. AnyDesk is another software program that provides platform-agnostic remote access tools. It can be used to access personal computers and other devices that run the host application.

AnyDesk's remote connection is typically faster and more enhanced than TeamViewer. It is further less likely to lag. The manufacturer furthermore claims that the tool's frame rate can be doubled - which translates into only a quarter of data lag vis-à-vis its larger counterpart TeamViewer.
