Remote PC access software allows you to access any computer from anywhere in the world
. All you need is an internet connection and a small piece of software installed on both computers and away you go. Not only can you access all the information on a remote PC, but you can even use the networks its connected to, use the software on that computer and do anything as if you were actually sitting in front of that machine.
Even though it sounds very simple, the software behind it is rather clever and with an increasing demand there are several very good software products in the market. Here are the 3 top products that you can look into if you want to buy remote PC access software.
1. GoToMyPC
GoToMyPC is one of the original remote control software packages and all they really did was to create a simple interface to allow people (especially business people) to be able to access a work computer from home. A license for a single computer currently costs $19.95 per month and this is still the "benchmark" for remote access software because its so reliable and so easy to use.
2. LogMeIn
LogMeIn is great because it offers a free version of the software. Although its pretty basic, it will allow you to do all the basic functions but if you want something more advanced you will need to buy a license which is currently about $69.95 per year. The full version has some great functions and is perfect for more advanced users who need to manage multiple computers.
3. Symantec PC Anywhere
Symantec is probably best known for their anti virus and security software, but remote access software actually fits very well with them. PC Anywhere is a very sophisticated solutions and the fact that it integrates seamlessly with their security products makes this ideal for companies who need to manage multiple users and who have to control access levels. he great thing about PC Anywhere is that you can buy a one off stand alone license for $199.99 and no monthly fees are necessary.
