"15-minute demo? Seriously? No really, seriously?"
Version: ShareTool 2.2.4
Pros
Simplicity. Unfortunately ''simplicity'' is a pro for the concept but a con for the thinking behind a 15-minute demo.
Cons
How far can you drive in 15-minutes, set up your laptop on a Wifi, AND have time for a meaningful ''demo?'' This 15-minute demo is one of the dumbest-ideas I've ever seen paired with a good idea.
Summary
Wait for Lion. See what's offered. This remote capability may already be facilitated. Also, any utility that costs more than $10 is suspect in my book. Lastly, and to belabor this hand-to-the-forehead reaction to a 15-minute ''demo,'' until the rocket scientists behind it re-think this, go with LogMein.

"Good but one thing missing"
Version: ShareTool 1.3.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The product is good, with very good ease-of-use and interface. Secure screen sharing and data transfer via SSH works well.
One thing is missing for a true remote control: if the remote computer shuts down and restarts, there is no way to log in since ShareTool only starts working once login is done. So login must be done with a competing product, e.g. Timbuktu, which fills this gap. This feature seems indispensable to me - if I want to control a computer remotely, I want to stay in control!
Minor bugs which have cropped up from time to time have been fixed. Right now there is a problem with interaction with the KeyChain in Snow Leopard which will no doubt be fixed soon.
The product advertises on-the-fly compression for data transfer, but is nevertheless no faster than a competing product (iGet) which doesn't do this.
Upon sharing, ShareTool can alert the start of sharing via e-mail. However, the e-mail gives only the local IP number, which is useless for connecting via port forwarding if the remote computer is behind a router with dynamic IP address. It should also give the external IP (like GetMyIP or DynDNS) and include it in the e-mail. -

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
ShareTool is one of my fav apps and it's on every mac I use. It works great! I just hope for more automated features on login in on the client and the server. Nothing els works so good for ad-hoc vpn connections
