Geek Software of the Week: Comodo One Remote Access and Control!
This week’s Geek Software the Week is really powerful, and really interesting! If you are a technician that supports remote users, then this may be what you’ve been looking for! I had an interesting experience testing the software however. I downloaded the software and installed it, and within just a few minutes after downloading and filling out the form, I got a phone call! The phone call introduced me to the Comodo One set of tools, and offered a free session overview by one of their online representatives. I must admit, it put me off at first! I asked the person on the phone: is this set of tools completely free? They said, “yes, it was.” I asked if it would remain free? They said that it would. It turns out that their method for monetization of their platform is to introduce you to their free tools, and then offer paid tools as an extra benefit, as well as offering partnership with their company to sell add-on services to any customers that you might have as a technician.
This is an interesting paradigm for them to work from, I must admit! You can decide whether or not you want to have the attention that you garner by setting up the account and using their services. This is not to say that they are pushy, or heavy-handed, in any way. Obviously, they are hoping that you will use their services more often and perhaps use their paid services and become a new customer. Comodo also offers a very nice antivirus as well as managed services, so it is your decision whether to look into these offerings instead of just using the free remote access tool.
If, however, you are looking for a remote access tool that is easy to push out to, or provide to, users that are less computer literate than you are, you may want to look into the Comodo One remote access tool!
