Thinfinity Remote Desktop: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Thinfinity Remote Desktop, from Cybele Software, delivers Windows applications and desktops to any device with an HTML5 browser, so no client installation is needed for browser access. It can also act as a browser front end for VDI, virtual machines, RemoteApps and Unix systems, and works with Hyper-V, VMware and VirtualBox. Features include file transfer, remote printing, multi-monitor support, session recording and user management. Authentication can use Windows or Azure Active Directory, with single sign-on via OAuth2 and SAML or RADIUS for two-factor authentication. Directory listings describe deployment as SaaS, on-premises or hybrid, including AWS and Azure.

Cybele Software is a United States company, so the vendor falls under US jurisdiction, including the CLOUD Act. The software is not open source. Where data resides depends on the deployment model: an on-premises installation keeps sessions on infrastructure you operate, while the pages consulted do not state where a vendor-hosted service would run. Check the hosting terms before choosing SaaS.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Thinfinity Remote Desktop

Thinfinity Remote Desktop is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Thinfinity Remote Desktop hosts data in EU, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Thinfinity Remote Desktop is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Thinfinity Remote Desktop together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
