I use XRDP a lot.   It's downfall or upside however you want
to look at it, is that it opens a separate session to the remote
viewer, meaning you can't assist someone at the other end
and the other end can't see what you are doing ("You pay who
how much more than me!!!!").

For clients, I use  xfreerdp on Linux and mstsc on Windows
