VNC is a great tool for remote administration, if you know its strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, not every company has unlimited IT resources available to implement the best remote admin tools...not mention the usual hassle of getting your manager's approval for purchases. Just saying a product stinks with no explanation doesn't have any merit. As Chris suggested, VNC through a VPN or SSH will satisfy most security worries.

Why would you recommend that, I was under the impression that while it doesn't have much built in security, running it through ssh and/or a vpn was considered to be quite safe.
