Customer Reviews

Be aware! Some seller is selling pirate copies.
For your information; Symantec doesn't market PCAnywhere series in paper sleeves, any Symantec product comes in paper sleeves without retail box (other than Norton Anti-virus) is fake.

don't buy it
I use PC Anywhere every day to admin systems and I can tell you 11.5 is not a upgrade it will only slow down your access and cause other issues with the performance of your system. This must have been a rush release. I have went back to 10.5 and will probably stay ther until I am convinced Symnatec has released a quality upgrade to this product. I contacted about these things to no avail. It sounds like just about everyone else rating this product feels the same. I like 10.5 and previous versions but somebody really let the quality slip on 11.5

pcAnywhere is great for demonstration purposes!
I have a PC in the livingroom for showing videos, slides, etc for my 2 year old. I had to come out of my study to switch programs for him since he is still on a high chair at a safe distance from the monitor and keyboard. With this wonderful product, I can remotely control the livingroom pc from my study and I know exactly what's being shown on that pc's monitor. This is something that terminal service CANNOT do! I also use it among the several PC's I have and save the cost for KVM switches!
