Hi all, I've googled and got some info but I want some first hand opinion.

Screen sharing does not work anymore on my computers and I need an easy and efficient solution. Do you have any insights about which app is best?

Regards,

Wouldn't it be better to work out why Screen Sharing doesn't work any more?

Apple Remote Desktop is pretty good. You could try some more generic VNC clients like Chicken of the VNC.

Thanks for your replies. I heard screen sharing will be discontinued soon, so I need an alternative. Better if good. Free wouldn't hurt either. Thanks.

They just updated it in Lion, so unlikely they would discontinue it.
