LogMeIn

Pros: Quick Connections, Firewall Traversing, Very Secure, Access from a Pocket PC

Cons: I didn't find out about it sooner.

Summary: LogMeIn.com has raised the bar for remote administration with their new free utility. Competitors such as GoToMyPC offer the same kinds of services but they are lacking in several areas.

One of the main reason why LogMeIn.com is amazing is because it truly is free. All you have to do is go to their site, give them your email address and then are ready to begin remote controlling your other computers. It really is that simple; you don't have to enter your address or any credit card information.

Second on the list of things that made love this product was that it was extremely quick when compared to it's competitors: there was absolutely no lag time.

Third, this remote utility supports 256 bit encryption in conjunction with RSA, and Windows Authentication. It simply is the most secure option available. Especially when compared to other competitors products.

Finally, I loved the fact that I no longer had to worry about setting up port fowarding on my router, or having to reconfigure various firewalls. LogMeIn.com accomplishes this by establishing a secure HTTP tunnel via port 443.

I've tried them all: VNC's, pcAnywhere, GoToMyPC, but the LogMeIn.com is head and shoulders above the rest. It's Free, Fast, and Safe.
