Default Mobile Admin 4.0 Gives Aide to Travelling, Rich System Admins

http://www.rovemobile.com/products/...on/ma/features/

"Mobile Admin is an enterprise network administration platform that allows unified management of all IT systems from any computer or handheld device. The Mobile Admin server software is installed on a single server on the network and allows for instant management of all other systems, without the need to install any agent software on the systems to be managed."


OK, as someone who travels and administers Windows server, I can really empathize with those that this software would help. Being able to manage Active Directory, Exchange, Domino, BES, Citrix, oracle, VMWare, and more from my handheld sounds like a godsend. However at the price of $495 per user, I have a hunch that only those with deep I.T. budgets will be able to afford this offering (And I totally understand this software is for a niche market, hence the higher price - but $495 is probably the highest price I've ever seen for a Windows Mobile application). It's a shame too, because if it was around $99 for a single user license, I most likely would have bought it already...


There is a trial available, and I'm sure some of our readers have the budget and need for this software. If you're one of them, let us know how it is!

Before v4.0 it was pricier...$295 per server. Now it's $495 per user, which is for an unlimited number of servers.

If you're a System Admin who manages multiple organizations, it could save you money by giving you the freedom to do all of your administration remotely and take on more clients.
