What Remote Desktop tool do you use?

We decided to go with a product called NetManager. I really like the security features.

You have a user password, admin password, site key password, and then you can integrate a keyfob system with it.

Citrix Go To Assist was our other choice, but since NetManager has had rave reviews we decided to go with them instead.

Let me know what you use, and why.

    I use the Windows RDP. I have no choice, that's what I'm given to use. Not sure if the admins are looking at anything else.....

    I use RDP for windows and xwinlogon for linux. The latter is only for our network at work, not for outside linux servers. I also use xwinlogon at home for my centOS box web server.

    RDP on local LAN. RDP over IPSec VPN if remote. Secure VNC for Linux.

    Free is good. Secure and free, even better. I'm in the same boat, sprkymrk, I use the free tools that come with the OS'es, save for SecureCRT, which was provided to me by my work in order to manage our routers and switches, along with scripted logins to our FreeBSD boxes that run our DNS servers. Still, I wouldn't lay down money on tools that you can get for free, when they're so readily available.

    I do exactly this and sometimes use Dameware. If the customer wants a web-based solution, then LogMeIn is used.

    I use RDP as well. It's free, it comes preinstalled, and it works like it is suppose too.

    I loathe Dameware. I could be using it wrong I admit but I find it the slowest and most annoying software I have ever used.

    I use UltraVNC when I have a choice, but most places prefer RDP over a VPN.

    For admin work it's RDP, with a Windows Client/Server IPSec policy over the top for the really sensitive stuff (I know RDP is encrypted but IPSec is less prone to Man in the middle and for my security server it's a little extra peace of mind). UltraVNC for legacy clients. We're about to rollout Netmanager too mainly as we purchased it as part of a bundle with the vendor's inventory software but also as we have a lot (read: way too many) legacy clients also, and having one remote console to deal with them all will help.
    We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?

    Use RDP, and an application named Remote Administrator(radmin) that my company uses it's much like VNC just a few functionality differences from what I've seen.
