"Not Impressed..." - Security Guy [December 12, 2008] Product Rating: 2/5
The Bad:
You have to open a lot of ports on the pc's firewall to get this to work. The support is terrible (even with basic questions). Their support "Knowledge Base" is just a web Forum. The suggested specs run the CPU at 100% utilization. When I asked why it always runs at 100% utilization, the tech said it is normal even though it exceeded the suggested specs. The GUI is not user friendly and takes a while to get accustomed to.

The Good:
It has a lot of different reporting features. It was easy to setup.

"HFNetChkLt" - Axel Larson [December 5, 2003] Product Rating: 3/5
Shavlik changed their 50 clients offer to 10 clients and one server. Also replacing a machine with a new uses 2 clients. Version updates occur automatically and the version 4 update refuses to honor the 50-client license.

"HFNetChkPro" - Bill Mercer [November 6, 2003] Product Rating: 3/5
Watch out for absurd minimum upgrade quantities and huge restrictions.

"HFNetChkLt" - Mark Strovink [August 11, 2003]
Taking a lesson from the drug trade, Shavlik lets you get hooked on HFNetChkPro by using it for FREE for up to 50 clients. The free version, HFNetChkLt, is the commercial version with a different (free) license key from Shavlik. Easy to get hooked and want more.
