| Applied to: Network Inventory |
We have been looking for Inventory software for several months and we have evaluated several systems. Emco was recommended by one of our suppliers, Bennet's IT Solutions (www.bits.co.za). We tested the software and were very happy with the data collected and the pricing of the software.
Our big problem with more expensive packages was that the cost did not always justify the functionality. Our own in-house developers could write code to collect the data, but we wanted an off the shelf product that presented this data well. Emco was chosen because of the good cost and functionality it offered.
I have also looked at some of Emco's other products, and we may purchase some of this in the future.

We are very stasified with the product |
| Applied to: MSI Package Builder |
I am working in TV 2 in Norway, and I am responsible for the desktops in the company, that is defining a standard and controlling OS deployment as well as deployment of applications. I have been working for a year with another product, that just didn't do the job. Our msi packages sometimes failed without a obvious reason.
I started looking at other software applications for creating msi packages easily and I tried Emco as the last product. I found after browsing the internet, and I have tried it for a few weeks. We are very stasified with the product because it is so easy to use, and not least that it gets the job done.

A few clicks of the mouse and I have all the control I need |
| Applied to: Remote Desktop |
As IT Manager for EMCOR Service: Mesa Energy Systems, I maintain a Win2K environment with approximately 100 nodes distributed over 4 locations throughout California connected via a frame. I've experimented with many different remote desktop solutions. They required unreliable or tiresome remote clients to be installed before use. Some of them simply crammed too much functionality into the product resulting in software unnecessarily large, complex, as well as unstable. All of them were far too expensive to license.
I then discovered the EMCO Remote Desktop. The product was straightforward, and I was up and running without even reading a user manual. No remote client installs. No messy video drivers. Add or Identify remote workstations easily. Just a username, a password, and a few clicks of the mouse and I have all the control I need. The price is amazingly affordable. It works, and it works well . . .And I'm only on version 1.0! I look forward to investigating the other EMCO products.

We have been using both Remote Audit and Remote Desktop from EMCO and have found both products to be extremely useful. In both cases they replaced existing software with software that was easy to use and much more useful.

So far I have nothing but praise for this software |
| Applied to: Network Inventory |
The EMCO Network Inventory 3.0 software has enabled me to get an overall view of the status of the company computer systems. It has done this for me effortlessly and has taken all the leg work out of what would have been a very tedious task. Additionally the software has done this with no interruption of the end users therefore company work output has been unaffected.
So far I have nothing but praise for this software but have yet to use it to its full potential. Thank you EMCO.

Your product does all the things I have always wanted |
| Applied to: Network Inventory | MSI Packge Builder |
We have purchased EMCO Network Inventory 4.5 and EMCO MSI Package Builder. I found your website via google, whilst searching for a network inventory tool which allowed you to search for specific files and their version. I then found your MSI Package Builder to be very helpful and both packages are very user friendly.
The product we currently use for network inventory, will certainly be replaced with EMCO Network Inventory, as your product does all the things I have always wanted. Your product is also much more cost effective, which allowed me to be able to purchase your MSI package.
You have many interesting packages on your web site, which I will be looking at and evaluating over the course of this year, with the view to putting into our budget for 2007. I just wish I had found your web site before now.

Network Inventory product is and continues to be a great tool for us |
| Applied to: Network Inventory |
EMCO's Network Inventory product is and continues to be a great tool for us. I was looking for a network inventory product that did not need an agent to be installed. My experience was that installing and maintaining agent installations on all nodes was cumbersome and time consuming. My search led me to EMCO's Network Inventory product. It is so easy to use and intuitive that in 30 minutes I was able to download, install and run a network inventory. It accurately gathers all the information that we need to track. In addition we can run custom scan for specific versions of programs or specific file types such as .mp3's and track our licensing compliance. Thanks for such a valuable and easy to use tool EMCO!

This is a excellent time saver for Network Administrators |
| Applied to: Network Inventory |
We found EMCO Network Inventory provides comprehensive inventory information with little effort. This is a excellent time saver for Network Administrators. It also helps Administrators, to check monitor users who install software (like screen savers and others) without Network Administrator's knowledge, and get into problem.

A great value for your money |
| Applied to: Remote Desktop |
Administering networks is something all system administrators do on a daily basis. Unfortunately, minor issues and major problems tend to happen from time to time and in most cases require immediate and resolute actions, as any network downtimes affect the whole company and its clients. However, sometimes problems come when they are least expected - for instance, when the system administrator is away or on a sick leave and no substitute is available. If you are a system administrator looking for a versatile remote administration tool, EMCO Remote Desktop Professional is just what the doctor ordered!
This compact, affordable and multifunctional utility from EMCO Software provides the essential toolkit that allows system administrators to manage wired and wireless Microsoft networks remotely in an efficient and expedient manner. This approach also allows you to troubleshoot network problems from a centralized location, which is time and money-consuming. Remote Desktop Professional collects various network data about hardware and software installed on network computers and tasks currently running on them. The advanced built-in remote task manager is very similar to that found in NT-based systems, so you won't have any problems getting used to it. The tool supports Windows Vista and does not require DCOM/RPC to operate.
If in doubts about choosing the right software for remote network administration, look no further than Remote Desktop Professional. A great value for your money, it offers everything necessary for resolving network problems in a wink of an eye!

Thanks EMCO! Keep up the good work! |
Remote Audit (Network Inventory) is fantastic tool! It really takes the guesswork out of the auditing equation. We've even been able to create web-based reports thanks to the advanced exporting features. I'd highly recommend this product to any administrator who is looking for an economical and easy to use auditing utility. Thanks EMCO! Keep up the good work!

Remote Audit 2.0 was the best value software of all the tools we investigated |
When CCH undertook to migrate all its staff from Windows NT to Windows 2000 Professional, we needed a reliable, cost effective and easy to use software audit tool. EMCO's Remote Audit 2.0 provided us with a perfect solution. Remote Audit doesn't require a client or messy log in scripts meaning it is quickly deployed so you can get on with the job in hand, instead of investing time configuring and preparing the tool.
What's more Remote Audit 2.0 was the best value software of all the tools we investigated and was implemented within 24 hours of purchase across the entire network. We never would have thought that an Icelandic company would have provided the solution to an Australian software issue!

Remote Audit 2.0 has proved invaluable |
As an I.S. Support Administrator I am faced with supporting around 180 PC's, with a mixture operating systems, mainly Windows NT 4.0, a number of Windows 2000 and also few Win 95/98. With constant company restructures and high staff turnover keeping an up to date audit of all our Computers was proving very difficult, so it was necessary to find a program to help. After trying several different products from varying Software companies, with both a very competitive price and great functionality I purchased EMCO Remote Audit 2.0 (200 nodes).
Remote Audit 2.0 has proved invaluable, it is able with very minor network overhead, interrogate all the PC's on your network and report back with all essential information including detailed information on Processor type/speed, Memory, Disk Details (utilization etc.), operating system, service pack, detailed listing of installed application, detail of installed printers, local network shares... and the list goes on. With both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 it will also pick up WMI information such as Manufacture Serial number etc.
Network Audit 2.0 unlike many competitors doesn't require it/you to install anything to the PC's being audited, it simply and quickly queries each PC and stores all the data in a common database. Remote Audit can also export audited information to a variety of different file formats very simply for further analysis. Overall Remote Audit 2.0 has been a very handy piece of software, with its very competitive price, great functionality and user friendly interface I would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks for providing this excellent piece of software |
Since using Remote Audit 2.0 we have been able to monitor our computer systems for software that is not supposed to be installed on clients machines. We have also used the product to help with our upgrade from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 by finding which computers needed to be upgraded and what was previously installed on the systems. The time saved by using Remote Audit 2.0 greatly out ways the initial cost of the software which is of great value anyway.
Thanks for providing this excellent piece of software to make our IT lives a bit more bearable ;)

The Remote Audit helped me immeasurably in doing a Windows NT-XP upgrade |
The Remote Audit helped me immeasurably in doing a Windows NT-XP upgrade by verifying hardware assets...it defined who should have their system replaced or just upgraded, gave me a list of people left, and also looked out for software exceptions.

Effective, Easy to use, Simple and Straight Forward - Recommended |
| Applied to: MSI Package Builder |
Easy to un-pack existing .msi files and repackage into your own requirements, easy to create your own new packages, great for monitoring and capturing software during installs to create your own thing. We didnt think we would use it as much as we have this has been excellent for our college of 420+ nodes. We have the now Enterprise edition. EMCO support is excellent. As good as any 50million dollar over priced over the top solution for MSI packaging and deployment. It gets the job done and well.

This unique product is exactly what I need |
| Applied to: MSI Package Builder | Remote Installer |
Time-to-time I should install software to user's computers and it always takes a long time and requires many efforts, because our offices are straggled over the building in the different floors. Time ago my colleague told me about that tool, which helps him a lot with software installation. Yesterday I had a task to install Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop tools to the 37 user desktops, so it was a good chance to try it on practice.
I spent 10 minutes for reading Quick Start in Help and created Adobe Acrobat MSI 10 minutes later. It was really exiting - I needed just to start monitoring, which tracks on changes performed on computer, then start Acrobat installation and after stopping of monitoring MSI can be automatically created. I can't believe that it's a truth, therefore I tried to install created MSI on different computers and it works well without any prompt to specifying a path for installation and other annoying things, which you should perform again and again when installing software on different computers. After trying functionality of installed Acrobat from created MSI package I found that it works by the same way as the standard distribution.
Magic of this tool continues when I started MSI Remote Installer, which is a part of the distribution. Using this tool I was able to select computers, which require Acrobat installation and install it from my computer. I repeated procedure also with Photoshop and it went smoothly as well.
A really unique tool - I spent less then one hour for playing with a tool and installing software on 37 computers - great result.

Stable, reliable, and simple remote system for managing software deployment |

The EMCO Remote Installer/MSI Package Builder software suite has empowered our firm with a stable, reliable, and simple remote system for managing software deployment and removal across our network.
