EasyAccess 2.0 is a remote access tool for your machine or industrial HMI. Enable you to monitor or update connected controllers or projects of HMI's. Features • Monitor HMI's/PLC's/controllers. • Secure connections. • Little PC setup required; no router setup required. • User friendly administrator and client UI. • Supports pass-through and proxy server Traditionally, accessing a remote HMI is a convoluted job. Security concerns and tricky network parameters setup makes it difficult for many HMI users. And even with proper setup, access is still quite limited, allowing connection to only one HMI within the remote network. However, with EasyAccess 2.0, this is about to change. EasyAccess 2.0 is a new way to access an HMI from anywhere in the world. With EasyAccess 2.0, it becomes very easy to monitor and troubleshoot HMI’s/PLC’s that are at a remote location as long as Internet connection is available. As EasyAccess 2.0 already takes care of network settings and addresses security issues, the user can connect easily to the HMIs as if they were on the local network. Moreover, it is possible to have multiple available HMIs within a network. EasyAccess is also a remote supporting service. Consider the case in which a machine builder sells his machine with a Weintek HMI installed. One of his oversea customers is reporting a problem, which may or may not require inspection by an engineer. The machine builder can remotely connect to the HMI through EasyAccess 2.0 to investigate the problem. The customer needs no extra network configuration and just need to plug in Internet connection. In addition, the machine builder can also update the HMI project, monitor the PLC by Ethernet Pass-through, or even update the PLC program.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RealVNC Viewer at 4.8 against EasyAccess 2.0's 4.3. RealVNC Viewer also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 6). EasyAccess 2.0's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RealVNC Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RealVNC Viewer has 15K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of RealVNC Viewer's written reviews are positive against 100% of EasyAccess 2.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RealVNC Viewer ships an update every 2 months, EasyAccess 2.0 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
