Remote Access Reviews

Updated: Work from home (or anywhere): four remote access options

Four very handy services that allow you to remotely access your work (or home) PC anywhere you have an Internet connection.

WD ShareSpace

The WD ShareSpace NAS is a step up from the company's World Edition and while it performs well it's expensive and offers few features.

The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is a two-drive NAS device that offers Bluetooth support but no remote access via the web.

Western Digital My Passport Elite (320GB)

Western Digital's My Passport Elite is a great little portable hard drive with an even better warranty to back it up.

GoToMyPC 5

If you don't mind paying, GoToMyPC 5 makes an excellent choice for working remotely on a PC.

Laplink Everywhere 4.0

Lack of a true-colour option hinders Laplink Everywhere, although the program does offer multiplatform support and flexible file transfers.

GoToMyPC 4.1

After years of flying high with no competition, GoToMyPC falls to earth against stiff competition from MyWebEx PC, which is free.

LogMeIn

Great features make this free remote-access service a worthy telecommuting solution.

Network Magic Service

Network Magic Service is best suited for those who frequently take their home laptops to work and beyond, locking down open shared files and printers when appropriate.

Apple Time Capsule (1TB) Network Storage

Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, but Windows users and those who demand speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.

Western Digital MyBook World Edition II

The MyBook World is a fully-featured NAS drive with massive storage and a handy remote access feature -- pity about the noise.

Baumann Meyer DT2620D

Pricey at $1999, but if you're looking for something with European flair, plenty of features and a plethora of connectivity, this TV is definitely worth a look.

Creative Live Cam Optia AF

If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.

Norton Internet Security 2008

While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

Acer LCD TV AT3705-MGW

If you are thinking about integrating a media server into your home theatre, this is the LCD for you. With a host of top-end features, multiple inputs and stand-out performance, the AT3705-MGW is the perfect compliment to your home media network.

CA Internet Security Suite 2007

CA Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a pasted-together trial version of what CA offers in terms of consumer protection. The suite fails to integrate and lacks antiphishing, antirootkit, and basic IM protection found elsewhere.

MyWebEx PC

MyWebEx PC offers powerful remote-access features for free, plus some extra capabilities for a low monthly subscription, making it a great solution for telecommuters.

All WebEx reviews

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 is light and fast and consistently wins detection awards against the competition; it's worthy of our Editors' Choice designation.

All Kaspersky Labs reviews

Unwired Wireless Card

While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.

Buffalo WZR-RS-G54

If you've got a small office and need remote access, then the WZR-RS-G54 is a solid choice. For most home users, however, it's pure overkill.
