Remote Commander

Source: http://www.atelierweb.com/rcomm/index.htm

Personal Notes: I love this tool...one of the most comprehensive System Admin Tools ever.
Uploading and downloading files, Mapping of ports with applications, live view of desktop with a fast refresh rate (uhmm almost fast)

AWRC is a must-have for System Administrators and Helpdesk personnel. Recommended for a range of special remote access requirements, from Intelligence to Parental supervision. Runs across firewalls.Performs deep audits and all kinds of maintenance operations.Does not leave traces on remote.It is absolutely safe.

You may be familiar with utilities that allow remote management of computers.All those utilities require that you install software on the remote computer in order to process your requests and send the information back to you.The first thing that makes AWRC different is that it does not require that you install any kind of software on the remote machine. Sure, it seems impossible. We thought that also!

The second thing is that AWRC allows you to gather more information from the remote system than remote privileged users can dream about. By far and large, AWRC is the more powerful remote audit tool you can find.

The third thing is that AWRC provides a great set of tools for remote computer management. You can do virtually anything on the remote computer you do on the local system.

Can anyone recommend the top Script Deployment tool for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central automated deployment
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
