The simple fact that you can create custom fields for what ever you want that is generated with a shell script is an amazing feature. Support is amazing, program is simple and powerful. Sometimes the documentation could be better. Giving a total walk through would be nice.
LanRev is really great

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I love LanRev! It is an amazing cross-platform management tool...even if you only have a few Macs and PCs to manage, LanRev will make your life easier. It is like the next generation of the old netOctopus product. Among my favorite features of LanRev are the patch management and software installation system which is kinda like having your own custom Apple or Microsoft update server for your network, and the imaging utility, which lets you re-image Mac workstations on the fly to a pre-set configuration. LanRev also is tightly integrated with software like Timbuktu and VNC so you can remote control your computers easily. LanRev also seems to have the best asset-gathering functionality of any of this type of product, with a very deep level of system detail.
I tried ARD for my Macs, and LanRev just blows it away. The cross-platform stuff is icing on the cake!
Great job!
