RealVNC versions vs. UltraVNC...?

I just read through what is posted here:

//www.nsaneforums.com/topic/227890-realvnc-enterprise-521-final/

Great post - It is about RealVNC Enterprise and there's loads of good stuff shared there too.

OK, so...

AFAIK, RealVNC has a free version, a personal version and their Enterprise version - which is now renamed to just 'VNC'.

I have looked through the RealVNC site before (and just did again today) - but they really hide clear answers to my questions regarding features & versions...except for what is here=>

http://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/features/

And here=>
https://www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/licensing/

So that covers my RealVNC version questions well enough, but...

In the realm of PC remote control using VNC technology (as opposed to 3rd party dependent things like Teamviewer...) the main choices seem to be RealVNC & UltraVNC.

(I've used both for some time too - and still, I wonder about this stuff ?!?)

Here is my lingering question:
- Is there a GOOD comparison chart showing what is similar and/or different between RealVNC (paid) Enterprise version & (free) UltraVNC someplace that anybody knows of ??

I did find a really crappy comparison here=>
http://remote-desktop.findthebest.com/compare/5-16/VNC-with-a-free-license-vs-UltraVNC

And this=> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraVNC - says:

UltraVNC bears a strong resemblance to RealVNC Free Edition. However, in addition to remote control it adds various features, such as an encryption plugin to secure the client/server connection. It also supports file transfers, chat functionality and various authentication methods.

And this, all the way back from 2009=>

But, I could find nothing that is current showing apps & versions with features compared.


Any helpful info and/or pointers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

True:

there is also TightVNC: http://www.tightvnc.com/

And I have used that one also.

It seems to be less popular than the 2 I have asked here about and is also pretty much limited to windows.

Others support Linux and Android and other OSes too.

Thanks.
