MultiNetwork Manager 8
Why upgrade?
Gerry Giffin - "I am a Management Consultant and often connect my laptop to my clients' networks. Multinetwork Manager facilitates without any issues even when network configurations are completely different. If you set it up properly you don't have to think about anything including which printer to print to."

"The new network detection feature is a godsend."

The Profile Center (old system tray application) has been replaced with a comprehensive and powerful yet easy to use interface for day to day usage.

Security aspects have been integrated into the product. Both from an end user perspective as well as an IT administrator perspective.

New wizards make it much easier to not only get connected but also to share and access information. E.g. a PC-to-PC wizard helps the user connect two or more computers and share files between them. The file wizard provides the same guide when connected via e.g. a home network.

All current mnm users are eligible for a 50% discount when upgrading to version 8.

Home/Business user benefits  
     
There are many new features and wizards that help less technical users to be more productive when moving between locations. One important goal has been to create an interface to MultiNetwork Manager that everyone can use. I.e. get connected securely and easily and be able to access and share network resources.

Key Features

  • A completely reworked UI that everyone can use productively
  • Integrated security aspects providing warnings when AntiVirus or firewall is not updated or enabled
  • Updated connection wizards that now integrate Dial-up
  • More configuration components such as e-mail clients has been added to the connection wizards
  • Completely new wizard to connect and share information directly between 2 or more PC's
  • File sharing wizard that makes it easy to share files in a network
  • Much easier management of profiles and automatic application of profiles (I.e. location sensing)
  • Powerful and easy to use WLan client that connects not only the wireless settings but also TCP/IP and proxies etc..
  • Enhanced automatic discovery of network settings


IT Administrator benefits  
     
All of the updates made available for the end users are also important from an IT administrator perspective since it greatly increases end user efficiency and reduced support.

Besides there are several new updates in the Profile Manager that are of special interest from an IT administrator perspective.

Key Features

  • Create sub-profiles that are visible and selectable by end users via the connection wizards. E.g. create a VPN sub-profile that can be combined regardless of whether the user connect using a Dial-up, wired or wireless connection.
  • Enhanced location sensing. It is now much easier to use and administrate
  • Apply profiles, I.e. take action if AntiVirus has not been updated or the firewall is disabled
  • Many components have been updated, e.g. the e-mail component
  • Better profile control, I.e. grouping of profiles
  • Enhanced import/export allowing scripts to be included in a run component
