Reviews
- Blue Coat SG Client
Software for Windows XP that allows a mobile PC to work as a client to a Riverbed Steelhead WAN acceleration system. - Uplogix Envoy - remote management
The Uplogix Envoy has been designed to make remote management of devices and despite a new quibbles, it does eveything that's asked of it. - Snort 2.7
Snort has gathered plenty of plaudits as a free network monitoring package. And as we find out, that reputation has been wholly deserved - if you can find your way around the command line coding in the first place. - dbWatch 7.0 - virtual DBA
dbWatch is a product that promises much. A misleading website, however, is the least of our worries as we encounter a GUI that has been put together with little interest in the user experience, which rather spoils what could be a worthwhile addition to an IT manager's toolbox. - SpiceWorks Desktop 1.7
IT managers have traditionally been suspicious of free tools - wondering whether they'll really do all that they promise, and where the catch is. But Spiceworks is a tool that offers a range of features that many paid-for products would find hard to match.
