Remote access software - reviews, comparisons and expert opinions about remote control software

Teddy Bennett
Systems Administrator & IT Specialist

Systems administration and network security are my primary interests. I have extensive experience with Microsoft Windows operating systems including multiple editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server.

Managing large computer networks I was looking for a solution that could optimize my work. The solution is remote access software.

Remote access is the ability to get access to a computer or a network from a remote distance. Using remote desktop software the user can view the remote computer screen on a monitor either in a window or full screen. All your mouse movements and keyboard signals are transferred directly to the remote computer.

I have experience working at companies with distributed office LANs or multiple offices in different locations and offices in other countries. I could be spending hours or even days to get to the user who is experiencing problems with his or her PC. Ability to connect to remote desktop saves my time and the reaction time is also reduced.

Remote access software makes me mobile. I can access remote PC over the Internet from wherever I am. Therefore my clients can rely on me because I can provide 24h support.

I have tried a wide variety of remote access software free and commercial. All of these programs have their highlights and weaknesses. The choice of the best solution is a complicated task. Being an expert I would like to share my experience as well as the latest remote access technology news with the visitors of remote-access-software.net site by publishing articles and reviews about existing remote access software as well as comparisons of these programs.

I spend my free time on choosing the most interesting information about remote access software such as reviews, software companies’ news, articles about remote control solutions, case studies and so on in order to publish it on my site.

My plans
I have read a lot of reviews about different remote access solutions and now I’d like to share this information. I’m going also to create my own remote access software review which will cover all free and commercial software and will be useful for people looking for expert information.

Here below you will find some remote access software reviews I chose.

It’s difficult for the IT industry to avoid charges of Big Brother-ism. After all, George Orwell’s original creation, in Nineteen Eighty-Four, uses technology as a form of social control. If you type Big Brother into Google, the stories are almost always linked to some form of technology innovation – unless they’re about racist housemates in the latest edition of the famous TV show.

So any technology that goes under the name of remote control is bound to raise eyebrows at the very least.

Fortunately, it is also known as the more benign ‘remote administration,’ which is a far more accurate representation of what this remote access software does. Remote control is not about an Orwellian dystopia of mindless automata under the control of an all-seeing entity. Instead it simply, and far more innocently, enables IT administrators and helpdesks to operate far more efficiently and effectively.

More and more employees today choose distant work without the need to leave home. According to statistical investigations, every third employee in Europe and the USA works remotely and the performance of remote workers is nearly 25% higher, than of those who have to visit the office every day.

Among remote workers there are translators, journalists, programmers and IT-specialists. The specialist can either do one part of his job in the office and another at home or work only from home if necessary.

The number of remote access software free and commercial is rather broad today. One of commercial systems system is Radmin (www.radmin.com), produced by Russian company Famatech (Moscow). Radmin has been on the market since 1999 and has a stable reputation of the fastest and the most secure remote access software. In the beginning of February, Famatech released its innovative Radmin 3.0 version, first to be compatible with Windows Vista and contains a great number of innovations including the DST™ video capture driver with a digital signature from Microsoft; voice and text chat; as well as being a Military-grade security system.
