Citrixs GoToMyPC Corporate 5 remote control product offers a number of new features, which include true 24-bit color support, drag-and-drop file transfers, and enhanced performance both when in session and during connection to the host computer. Improvements in administration tools allow for the auditing of data on users who have shared PC access, providing details on host PCs, and termination of unauthorized remote access connections. Also added is a performance diagnostics tool that lets users review the performance history of the last 10 sessions for determination of any possible bottlenecks. GoToMyPC does not require a client so it is possible for users to access a host machine where they do not have administrator rights. On the downside, the product mandates that the host machine be running Microsoft Windows 95 or higher. Therefore, Macintosh users will not be able to use the product. The offering does not sport the robust security found in Symantecs PCanywhere, but Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) secures connections end to end with 128-bit encryption. GoToMyPC has a user-friendly, intuitive interface and set-up is straightforward. Users can easily establish password enforcement rules, create and manage user groups, and utilize third-party authentication tools making the offering especially suitable for those who are not technology-savvy.
