LogMeIn is a great tool, but anything but their Free version is just way too expensive. I’m currently using Techinline Remote Desktop (http://www.techinline.com) which is just as easy to use, and is a fraction of what I used to pay for LogMeIn Rescue. Neither you or the remote party have to install anything since it runs through the web browser. All the client has to do is open a page, get a number and once you punch that number in, the connection is established. I find it to be the most reasonably priced service, as well as a good solution for a small business such as mine, which doesn’t require anything complex for remote access
Thanks Danny, Techinline also looks like a good find.
Having to install the software on the computer itself can certainly be a limitation if you want to create any unanticipated ad-hoc connections. Also worth a look are Crossloop, Live Mesh, ShowMyPC and Yuuguu. Yuuguu will probably feature in a future post as it seems to have a lot of potential.
