"Version 2.1.0.166: Far from as good as it used to be."
Version: LogMeIn Hamachi 2.1.0.159
Pros
Simple, easy to set up, easy to use. Can password networks and toggle manual approval for new joining members.
Cons
Speeds aren't that impressive for gaming, but it's one of the few free options. That said, 'free' is used loosely here, and possibly not for long. Networks used to be fully free before they were cut down to a max of 8 members for free. Recently cut to merely 5 members in a network.
Summary
The recent cutback in network size is very hampering, and screams nothing but "money-hungry". In the past, the lag and connection problems were minimal and often bearable.
Now I can no longer in good conscience recommend (or even mention) Hamachi for LAN party use, as it is likely not even qualified for most LAN party sizes.
Old Hamachi with unrestricted network sizes would have been 3.5 or even 4.0 stars from me. After the network sizes were cut down to eight maximum, I only found it to be worth a 3.0 star rating. With the new network sizes down to five members, I can't rate it higher than a 2.5 star rating. -
"Best VPN out there!"
Version: LogMeIn Hamachi 2.1.0.159
Pros
Free for up to 8 users in non commercial use.
Easy to set up and use.Cons
Obsolete networks that were created in the past need to be somehow deleted. I have at least 2 older networks with the same name but different ID numbers.
Summary
Excellent product that has been out long enough to be well tested.

"Great way to easily create a Virtial Private Network."
Version: LogMeIn Hamachi 2.0.2.85
Pros
Easy to use and set up a virtual private network (VPN).
Cons
I can't get rid of old connections that are no longer in service without creating a new network altogether.
Summary
Great and fast VPN tunnel setup that is easy to use and free for non commercial use. Combine it with RealVNC and you have complete remote control of a remote computer without the fear of someone listening in.

Cons

"LogMein Easy To Use"
Version: LogMeIn Hamachi 2.0.2.85
Pros
Better than Remote Desktop... I can browse and mainpulate another computer and NOT lock the computer from being seen. Great troubleshooting aid when I am on travel and my children need my help.
Cons
The only thing I can think of as being negative is that I have one coputer configured with the Pro version... and can't re-configure it as free... so I'm thinking they're going to as me to pay... will I buy? I don't know... depends on the cost.
Summary
I really like the product... I don't know how much this will cost but I hope it isn't much because it is a decent tool for me to assist my family when I am on travel.

"$33 is for a monthly subscription, not a purchase"
Version: LogMeIn Hamachi 2.0.2.85
Pros
Secure, convenient, easy to setup shared access to systems across the internet
Cons
Free version limited to 16 nodes & not available for commercial use.
Summary
Same as v2 2.0.0.60:
The CNet description should make it more clear that the product is free for personal or non-profit (501c3) use, but the $33 price shown is the monthly fee only for commercial use, which supports up to 256 connections. It should also be shown that the subscription rate is 50% less if paid annually at $199 per year. -
