The free version of TeamViewer lacks essential security and privacy features. Instead of paying for a commercial license, here’s why you should consider Splashtop.
TeamViewer offers a free version of its product meant for personal use only. However, this version of TeamViewer is missing several features found in the commercial version.
实际上，免费版本中许多缺少的功能对于用户的安全和隐私至关重要。当前的 TeamViewer 免费用户，或正在考虑使用免费版的用户，应注意这些问题及影响。
TeamViewer 免费版缺少哪些功能？
TeamViewer 已在其免费版本中禁用了这些功能（多年来，TeamViewer 已禁用了越来越多的功能以吸引用户购买商业计划）：
与所有版本的 TeamViewer 兼容
黑屏可确保远程工作时的安全隐私
客户电话和在线支持
自动功能和安全更新
The lack of automatic security updates presents significant security risks for TeamViewer free users. In fact, recently (2020) TeamViewer acknowledged a security vulnerability affecting all TeamViewer 8 through 15 for the Windows platform.
Anytime you use a software application, it is paramount that you are able to receive all security updates promptly.
并且，如果您担心隐私问题，则缺少黑屏功能可能会导致一些问题。此功能可让您从根本上将您正在远程访问的计算机的屏幕变黑，以使其他人无法在屏幕上看到您在做什么。
通常，用户需要使用专有或机密信息，因此拥有黑屏功能至关重要。否则，远程计算机上或附近的任何人都可以看到您正在执行的所有操作。
最重要的是，如果您遇到任何问题，在使用免费版本时将无法联系 TeamViewer 的电话或在线支持。
不要购买 TeamViewer 商业许可证 – 获取Splashtop
即使对于单个用户，TeamViewer 商业计划也可能非常昂贵。
