¡@Why NetOp?
PC Review says, "pcAnywhere move over"
Radio host Diane Pencil recently reviewed NetOp and concluded, " PCAnywhere, move over; NetOp is in town. All aspects of remote operations are handled in NetOp. The install is quick, the documentation is excellent, security is well addressed and it's faster on top of all that. If you are looking for a remote control package, NetOp is the one to consider first.
ENT Magazine calls NetOp, "more robust and faster than pcAnywhere"
In a recent review that compared NetOp directly with Symantec's pcAnywhere ENT magazine wrote, "NetOp is unlike pcAnywhere 32 in many ways, but we expected a similar experience when remotely controlling a system. Instead, the sophistication and scalability of the NetOp 6.0 environment makes a comparison with pcAnywhere 32 untenable. ...NetOp is more robust and faster than its competitors and offers a much more extensive array of configuration options."
Why do professional engineers choose NetOp rather than the popular software pcAnywhere?
Here is the the answer from the system developer, Danware Data A/S.
NetOp Remote Control 6.5 and Symantec pcAnywhere
| SPEED |
- Remote control of MS Windows NT 4.0 from other Windows NT4.0 via TCP/IP is significantly faster with NetOp Remote Control. It especially shows when opening and closing windows like Windows Explorer and MS Word. The presentation of full screen PowerPoint slides definitely lets NetOp outperform pcAnywhere with as much as 250%.
| COMMUNICATION |
- Via IPX/SPX pcAnywhere only supports one session at a time - NetOp support multiple sessions.
- NetOp can pass firewalls that uses NAT (Network Address Translation), pcAnywhere cannot.
- The Gateway supports multiple networks protocols - pcAnywhere only deals with one-to-one e.g. modem to TCP/IP.
- Under TCP/IP NetOp can use TCP or UDP - pcAnywhere can only use UDP.
| CONNECTIVITY |
- The NetOp Guest Browse function under Quick Connect leaves a list of Hosts with a timestamp - with pcAnywhere you need to browse every time.
- NetOp has Request for Help from the Host - pcAnywhere has nothing like that.
- With the Browse function under NetOp you can use many protocols at the same time - pcAnywhere only offers one protocol at a time.
- NetOp has an excellent Guest phonebook layout with hierarchic folder structure containing connection files - pcAnywhere needs to open a navigation window every time you want to look in a different folder for Host connection files.
- Under pcAnywhere you cannot initiate a chat session from their Connection files.
| SESSION |
- NetOp has Audio chat on any protocol - pcAnywhere has nothing except switch to voice on modem connections.
- The text chat under pcAnywhere does not automatically pop up on the Host when activated from the Remote (Guest) program.
| SECURITY |
- The Gateway under pcAnywhere does not have any security setting to prevent unauthorized persons from using the gateway to browse for hosts.
- Real centralized security with the Access Server - with pcAnywhere the rights for each Guest or Group still remains on each Host and needs to be updated by distributing new configuration files with the pcAnywhere Host Administration program every time you want to change the rights.
