definitely better than the VNC stuff that exists out there
Ever since UltraVNC introduced VNC with Windows authentication, RAdmin is no longer so great.
UltraVNC has less overhead, a real video hook driver, and it overcomes the pesky "File transfer sessions run in the context of the radmin service's logon (usually localsystem) and not the user's logon which effectively overrides all file permissions" feature which Famatech will likely never fix because...well...because they've been promising version 3 "real soon" for 4 years now (is John Romero working for them?).
UltraVNC also provides a command-line utility to generate permission hashes, which can be used by an admin to configure UVNC permissions on remote machines.
Famatech, OTOH, stored this information in the clear in v2.1 and switched to a hash in v2.2 which broke my in-house-developed remote management utility. When I explained why this information was critical in an enterprise environment and would result in my company abandoning RAdmin (1500+ licenses when v3 comes out), I was simply told that information about the hash is considered proprietary and would not be disclosed under any circumstances.
Finally, UltraVNC is compatible with any other VNC servers which means you can use one client to manage all your Windows, Mac and Unix/linux boxes.
Oh wait....UltraVNC is free, too.
