Positive Pro VPN is a service that allows your company to outsource its VPN requirements to avoid spending a huge amount of money on VPN hardware and the staff to maintain it. The service, although very good, will only be of interest to business users as home users will have no need for most of the functionality it provides.
As we have mentioned, Positive Pro VPN is a service aimed directly at business users. For a tool that will let you access your home PC remotely check out some of the products in our top ten list. VPN stands for virtual private network and is the secure way that most organisations allow their staff to access the company LAN from home. However, VPNs can be difficult and expensive to set up and Positive Pro VPN aims to remove these restrictions and make setting up a VPN easy and cost effective.
The service essentially provides a secure way for staff to access a company LAN from outside the network. Access can be achieved either using a downloadable client or by using a web browser and SSL. For the most part, connecting through a VPN is just like being attached to the local network and so, while you have access to files and printers, you cannot take control of computers remotely. However, Positive Pro VPN adds this extra functionality and allows users to remotely control a computer as if they were sitting in front of it. In this sense it is slightly different from many of the other products in this category, but provides some similar functionality.
Positive Pro VPN is easily as secure as any VPN that you could set up yourself and possibly more so. Connections are tunnelled through Positive Pro's secure servers and redirected to your company network. All security policies and authentication can be set up centrally by an administrator and changes are quickly propagated to users of the system.
Positive Pro VPN may not be as cost effective for large companies, but could be very useful for start-up companies that require VPN access, but don't have the capital to spend on expensive hardware. The monthly costs are quite reasonable and the level of service is excellent. If you are looking to outsource your VPN requirements, Positive Pro VPN is a good choice, but if you are looking for a dedicated remote access solution you may be better off looking at some of the other products we have reviewed in this category.
