Remote Access

[Randy F.]

Has anyone noticed any trends in the remote access needs of small business? It seems to be becoming more of a productivity tool and not just an IT tool. What is working best for your needs and why?

[Scott G.]

Randy:

I have been using a terrific product for remote access to my office called GoToMyPC.

It was a breeze to set up and configure, and is a very secure product (perhaps even more so than PC Anywhere). It simply works as advertised, and it keeps the IT department happy, since it all works off the http port 80 - no fiddling with internal firewalls required. Besides that, it's cheaper than PCA also.

For details about the product (I believe they offer a 60-minute/30 day free trial), visit here:

Hope you find this helpful.

I use this incredible remote tool called "LogmeIn" it is web based, no need to install any specific software on client's machine. (http://www.LogmeIn.com)

Just install LogmeIn on your server and Invite Guest, the guest computer can access via browser using ActiveX, Java applet or Html and you are connected remotely without any delay and offers all other features such as file manager etc, priced around 12$ per mth u can get it for 8$ too with promo code offers ...

Try the eval you might like it, this is best suited for small business ...

I used to prefer Darwin's Evolution. Now I am investigating Interprise Suite. The management of the company seems quite strong.

Another one for remote access software is Mirador Instant Messenger. It is essentially a secure collaboration software with remote access capability. 30 days evaluation can be found at www.e-securion.com

There's a web based solution that bores any firewall, router etc, it's Copilot from Fog Creek Software

Coming to the Randy's original question, I noticed that small businesses are lukewarm on the topic, but medium sized businesses request more and more remote activity.
Probably the most common solutions rely on the combination VPN+terminal service because not all the small/medium firms have pure web applications on line. SaaS probably will disrupt this picture in the near future.

I'm definitely going to agree on this count; I run a small tech support firm and logmein Rescue has become absolutely integral to the way my business is run. On top of that I use Pro at home and in the office to transfer files or just poke around my computer in case I need to. The web-based interface is what sells it for most of our customers. Highly reccomended!

I have modified vnc to access the computers of my clients, the interesting is here, into the lan there are 10 operators with the viewer active now the client only need to enter a code from the 0 to 9 in order to receive support of the corresponding operator.
The client does not have to make modification the installer does everything, only it´s necessary to open ports in the network where they are the operators.
All the operators can be acceding computers simultaneously.

the Link of the program is in Spanish but could be translated.

sorry for my english

The program I use is http://www.liferro.com. It's not anything like GoToMyPC it's information anywhere using one database.

My 2 cents!

The new company http://www.gotoservers.com makes SSL VPN never easy before. It offers many kinds tool allows clientless access your computer, applications and resources. Free trial and cost is amazing low.
