2.0 out of 5 stars Step backward from 10.5, July 11, 2003

By	Robert Sherman (Gaithrsburg MD) - See all my reviews

I regret spending the money for the "upgrade" from 10.5. PcA 11 no longer shows time remaining for file transfer, nor does it show transfer speed. It hangs, giving a "Cannot create directory" message for no discernable reason, where there was no problem with 10.5 If 11 has some advantages, I find nothing that does me any good. It has a different interface, but I don't see that as either better or worse. I'm going to remove it and go back to 10.5.

2.0 out of 5 stars Clunky Upgrade, April 9, 2004

By A Customer

There is a definite downturn with this new release- screen draws are noticeably slower and simply starting the application takes longer. The new interface has the task-based side bar found in newer applications, but it adds no benefit while robbing me of valuable screen space - the old toolbar at the top was much better. I applaud Symantec's fixing odd behaviors (non-invasive, such as strange 'quick' popups to handle internal routines, etc), and I appreciate their attempt at making the user experience more consistent and smooth, which they did, but the overall value of the product has dropped. For the core features I use (connect, control, end session) the performance has dropped- and I have no need for the new features. I'll be selling this on ebay... right after I go back to the odd but faster 10.5.

2.0 out of 5 stars good product but TERRIBLE SUPPORT, July 28, 2005

By	JJ "Joshzz" (Glassboro, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

Hi,

This is an excellent product but the support is terrible. I tried calling the company and was on hold for more than an hour but no one picked up. I've heard others have had similar problems.

It's sad because this is a very good product. I'm considering gotmypc.com because I can't answers for how to get this thing thru a router set with one ip address.

THE REAL PROBLEM ISN'T PCANYWHERE, IT'S SYMANTEC. If someone would make a good product and provide good tech support, they could put SYMANTEC out of business... I've had a similar experience when I sought help for NORTON ANTIVIRUS.

Well that's all for now...
