Symantec pcAnywhere 11.5 Host - Remote Description:

Symantec pcAnywhere 11.5 Host & Remote review:
5 stars (pcanywhere 11.5 host and remote) - Product worked great. The wizard allows for easy setup for a new connection. Ive used several previous versions of pcanywhere and as far as ease of use the previous versions are not in the same league as the current one.
5 stars (PcA still tops in file transfer) - [...] Terminal Services does not include a simple to configure (or use for that matter) file transfer function. PcAnywhere is still tops in file transfer functionality. The Command Queue in versions 11.0 and above is simply sweet. Load up file transfer and transfer over as many files as you like in the order you choose. You don't have to wait for the last file(s) to transfer before you move on to other files. You just keep selecting files to transfer and PcA puts them into a queue list to be sent in the order you selected them. You can rearrange this list as well, as it's processing. Sure, there are a ton of PcAnywhere alternatives, but without FTP/HTTP or VPN connections to transfer files (which may also require more firewall fiddling), PcAnywhere gives you the capability and does so very well. If you don't need to transfer data/files, then by all means, use RDC (Remote Desktop Control) or Terminal Services or VNC or....well, you get the picture. And those are only the tip of the remote control software iceberg....but PcA is still one of the best all inclusive tools around.




1 stars (Look into "Remote Desktop") - There is no longer any need for this product. Remote Desktop, also known as "Terminal Services", built into Windows XP Professional, is far faster and works better than pcAnywhere ever did.
