4.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable -- The Gold Standard For Managing Macs, November 5, 2009

Apple Remote Desktop is unique in many ways. Whether you are doing package management, desktop management or asset tracking, there is no solution out there than can do so many things so well. Like everything Apple, setup is painless and the interface is highly intuitive, crisp and easy to master. Many of the performance issues that plagued earlier versions have been now been addressed. Depending on the quality of your internet connection, the combination of the application's light foot print, the richness of the user experience and varied toolset will no doubt greatly enhance your productivity while giving those remote work tasks a very localized feeling. Now with ILOM built into the latest Intel Xserves, onsite IT staff for those branch offices is a thing of the past.

Anyone who manages a large number of Macs knows that this is a must have. MS could learn a lot from this and should create their own version for Windows clients. I could not work without this piece of software, period. If you manage a decent amount of Macs, do yourself a favor and get ARD. It will make your life a whole lot easier.

No help whatsoever on getting this to work over the internet. I was hoping to be able to work on my clients images who live in different states but instead I ended up with wasted money. I wish I never switched over to Apple.
