As I've already said below, if you want an apples to apples comparison see Nomachine's NX. As I said, I use it daily, and my experience is extremely positive.
And yes, it's open source.

NX is excellent and I highly recommend it for remote X access, even on a local network since it provides session restoration and "just works". From what I understand, it compresses extremely well due to the nature of the X protocol, since it can see when things actually need to be sent to the client. A VNC or RDP server by comparison only has the final rendered product.

The sources for the core transport libraries are all there.
The missing stuff is the end-user application code, which they make money from.

neatx is a wrapper for the 3.x NX core libraries, much like NoMachine's nxserver.
It does not support the NX 4.0 progress, and never will because there's nobody working on it anymore and the libraries are not open.

The new core of NX 4.0 is made up of a set of libraries written from the ground up to ensure portability, flexibility and state-of-the art performance. NX 4.0 core libraries will not be made open source. Although NX 3.x core compression technology and earlier versions will remain GPL, NoMachine engineers will not be developing the code further.
