Timbuktu Pro uses local security to restrict or grant privileges to end-users or site keys. Site keys are used mainly to restrict access between onsite and offsite users. But different site licenses can be created for NT Domain or Active Directory accounts and deployed through the Netinstaller to centralize administrative rights.

Funk Software Proxy Remote Control 4.0


Funk Proxy provided respectable performance in bitmap transfers, but it wound up at the bottom of the pack in file transfer and did not distinguish itself in our ERD test. It also had a fairly hefty memory requirement of 11,072 KB RAM while dormant and 12,072 KB while active. Its saving grace was a competitive price of $25,250 for 1,000 users and 10 support staff.
