Our verdict on NoMachine
NoMachine provides remote desktop access for Windows, macOS, Linux, Linux ARM and Raspberry Pi computers, with clients and access options spanning web browsers, desktop systems and mobile devices. It supports both attended guest sharing and unattended remote access, making it suitable for individual users, professional operators and server owners who need broad access across different endpoints. Core capabilities include file transfer, drag-and-drop, screen and session recording, remote terminal access, multimedia streaming, browser-based access and remote server administration.
Pricing is organized around annual per-server subscriptions rather than per-user billing. NoMachine Personal Edition costs $24.50 per server per year and includes one concurrent desktop connection, with single-server subscriptions or packs of 5, 10, 20, 40 or 100 subscriptions. NoMachine Enterprise Desktop costs $44.50 per server per year and adds unlimited concurrent desktop connections, unattended access, remote collaboration and help desk capabilities. It is available as a single-server subscription or packs of 10, 20, 40 or 100 subscriptions. The published plans show a 14-day evaluation license, while client applications remain free.
For organizations that need directory-aware access, NoMachine connects with LDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, Kerberos and SSO. Two-factor authentication, browser access and self-hosted deployment add flexibility for mixed environments, while the platform also supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. Personal Edition fits users who need economical access to a server with a single concurrent connection. Enterprise Desktop is the more suitable choice for concurrent users, unattended administration and help-desk workflows. Buyers seeking a free server product or a user-based subscription model should choose an alternative instead.
