Remote Utilities - Remote Desktop Software for Power Users




With everything being so deadline driven in today’s business environment, many companies have opted to use remote access software on their computer systems. Not only is this a far more cost-effective option, but it is also more preferable than having to wait a day or two for a computer technician to address any network or computer-related problems. Remote Utilities offers remote access software which is able to fulfill the needs of virtually any business.

How it Works

Remote Utilities consists of a Host which is installed on a remote computer and a Viewer which is installed on a local computer. The Viewer enables a user to access an unlimited number of computers either via an Internet connection or through a LAN (local area network). The Host is then installed on each PC that needs to be accessed or monitored.


Remote Utilities offers users complete control over remote computers. Users are able to connect to the remote computer by using the DNS name, IP address or an Internet ID – an alphanumeric or numeric-only sequence used to avoid complex network configuration. By combining Remote Utilities with a self-hosted internet ID server, a callback connection and proxy server support, users will have a flexible as well as affordable solution for all of their remote access needs.

Remote Utilities also offers one of the fastest remote desktop access modes available. Network administrators can rest assured that by using this software, they will have complete control over a remote computer, even while it is being rebooted.

Complete Security and Peace of Mind

Because network security is one of the biggest concerns for network administrators, Remote Utilities has taken this into consideration by ensuring that all traffic between local and remote computers is encrypted. This means that your information is completely safe, even when logging in Wi-Fi hot spots or internet cafes. An IP-filter function ensures that connections are only able to be made from specified IP addresses or networks. The program also offers protection against various forms of password-cracking attempts.

Remote Utilities is available in two editions: Free and Enterprise. The Free Edition has all the features a home user might need including the ability to connect either by an IP address or by an ID, which is simpler and does not require configuration. Also, a great advantage of the Free Edition is that the program does not annoy users with banner ads or “Buy me” messages and the Internet traffic for ID connection is virtually unlimited as well as the number of computers a user can register with his personal license. Restrictions include the unavailability of such features as Inventory Management, Ask User Permission, Multiple Accounts for a single Host etc. targeted mostly at corporate users. Another restriction is that the Free Edition may not be used for business purposes.

The Enterprise Edition provides – without limitation - all features the program can offer. The license model is per remote PC – that is each remote PC must be registered with a valid product key. Also, the license is lifetime and there are no recurring payments, traffic limitations or fees as well as other restrictions and charges.

Major Features:

·         Full Control and View, File Transfer and other useful modes. Remote Utilities includes 15 different connection modes, such as Full Control and View, File Transfer, Power Control, Telnet etc. You can change the modes on-the-fly without disconnecting from the remote PC.

·         Your own firewall bypass server. You can optionally switch to your own firewall bypass server (called Quinnect Server) and become completely independent from Remote Utilities cloud servers. This option works with Enterprise license only.

·         Unattended and attended access. Use the lightweight remote Agent module for spontaneous support and the installable Host module for total 24/7 unattended access to your PCs. You can connect to remote Agents and Hosts side-by-side from a single Viewer module. 

·         Direct IP/DNS connection or easy-to-use ID connection.  If you are computer-savvy configure a direct IP-to-IP access to your PCs for ultimate lag-free performance. Alternatively, you can go with the easy-to-use ID connection that does not require any configuration. Both types of connection will work on a LAN and over the Internet.

·         Multiple simultaneous connections. Remote Utilities supports an unlimited number of simultaneous connections in both directions — from a local PC to a remote PC and vice versa.

·         Remote webcam access and monitoring. Connect to a remote webcam attached to a remote PC and see what is happening in the room where that PC is located.
