A fairly new entrant, Anyplace Control focuses on remote control, not computer management. Only Windows PCs are supported.
A fairly new entrant, Anyplace Control focuses on remote control, not computer management.
Only Windows PCs are supported. The software-client push model works with Windows 2000 but not XP SP2 as we came to expect in this test.
Support tools for technicians are limited to sending keystrokes, sending or receiving clipboard contents, file transfer with a clean two-pane interface and turning off remote systems.
You can fully control the remote PC or just view activity. Users can be alerted or not, depending on the administration module settings.
Although Anyplace Control works over the Internet, it does not offer a way for the remote machine to send a message to make connection. The administration module must know the IP address of the remote PC, and firewalls must be configured to let the system through.
Local network support works adequately, but a database of clients must be built in this system’s database, because it doesn’t pull client details from directories.
Speeds for local connections are acceptable, but slower than other options.
