"PC-Duo is a veritable Swiss Army knife of management utilities... Installing the console software was smooth and quick and was literally completed in about three minutes... If you're in the market for a desktop management suite, this is a superb product and is definitely worth a look. PC-Duo Enterprise is easy to learn, logical and smooth. It is adaptive and an excellent option for your network management needs... The Remote Control module is the shining star of PC-Duo. Besides controlling applications, you can also use it to teach remote users. This may sound like XP's Remote Assistance, but it's different. Remote Assistance is limited compared to PC-Duo's remote operations."
