loox good

I like VNC too (the price is right), and I really like dameware as well.
It looks like you left SMS out though…it has remote possibilities (plus a lot more), and probably would have been in my top5.

Another web-based solution
by wkgraham7 · about 18 years, 12 months ago
In reply to DOWNLOAD: Remote control tools
Another web-based remote-control tool is LogMeIn, at LogMeIn.com. Priced like GoToMyPC, but with a free option for screen control only (free is good). I found it works well with I.E. 6, not quite as well with Firefox 1.0. Convenient for short term needs when working with out-of-town customers.

Careful about what doors you open
by ken lillemo · about 18 years, 12 months ago
In reply to DOWNLOAD: Remote control tools
One of the most important considerations in selecting a remote control application is how the the traffic between systems is encrypted. Without good encryption of the data stream as well as the sign-on authentication you have opened a big door for others to access your system. I found Remote Admin to have good encryption of the sign-on and data stream. I have not evaluated the other suggested products but you should before selecting a solution.

RAdmin development
by ralphy123 · about 18 years, 12 months ago
In reply to Careful about what doors you open
Recently McAfee & Symantec’s new virus engines are detecting RAdmin and certain dlls as a virus. As a consequence, they either quarantine or delete them. It also stops the service from starting as well.

vnc via ssh tunnelling
by eldergabriel · about 18 years, 11 months ago
In reply to Careful about what doors you open
A simple way of vastly enhancing the security of VNC remote access is to tunnel it through an SSH session. SSH not only offers industrial-strength encryption, but compression, file transfer, and remote command-line interface capabilities as well. Go look at http://openssh.org, or do a search on the web for vnc ssh tunnelling.

NetSupport Manager
by rahjr2006 · about 18 years, 11 months ago
In reply to WebEx
I am surprised that NetSupport Manager is not on the list. It is an application most similar to NetOp, is consistently rated at the top of its class, has multiple levels of security, and has a unique cumulative licensing model. We have used it for several years for remote clients all over the country and it works flawlessly.

Selection criteria?

In reply to NetSupport Manager
Upon revisiting the list, it seems that enterprise scale products may have either been overlooked, or deliberately excluded.

For quick and dirty…

For Windows environments Microsoft’s NetMeeting is still usable, and don’t overlook Remote Assistance/Remote Desktop in Windows XP.

Yes, but, for ease of use they leave much to be desired.

More than a few admins. have given up on trying to get these services to work as they had hoped.

Funk Software’s Remote Control
by Rick Vanover · about 18 years, 11 months ago
In reply to DOWNLOAD: Remote control tools
Was at Networld+Interop and the Funk software Remote Control product was pretty cool.
http://www.funk.com/remote_control/default.asp
Gives some granularity to configuring remote console activity, as well as a push install option.
