Upgrading to the latest version wasn't seamless, but changes usually require some learning, and I do think moving the services to the main OS instead of requiring this interface app is a step in the right direction. Then I can access computers/servers at home, or pop out using ssh/etc from there as though I'm home. I VPN into my home network from any of my devices. Yes, it conflicts with Back To My Mac - you can use the VPN *instead of* Back to My Mac. VPN service is still included in this app. Do I wish I didn't need to Google to find out my wife's backups weren't working because I needed to turn SMB on? Yes, but that's a documentation issue, not really an app issue. Some core features were moved from being maintained in this $20 additional app into the core OS so you can set up a Time Machine server and iCloud Caching server without buying this app. Let me counterpoint some of the other reviews: Please put that troubleshooting time into your cost analysis when you buy a $20 server. These are big problems that can sometimes requires hours, or even days of troubleshooting & re-configuration, to get this app working after a patch. Because the features change so much, documentation is often sketchy & outdated.
If you base your services offered by this product, beware, because it seems as if Apple may not do much vetting in business environments - or they have a hard time ensuring all the open source components are compatible with their OS. Examples in the past, that have required Apple enterprise support have been: disruption of email for days, email logs no longer available (intentionally by Development), firewall troubleshooting because an update broke connectivity, anti-virus & junkmail filters failing to update, etc. This has led to catastrophies for our organization. However, the problems I have experienced over the last 4 years is that the updates sometimes break functionality, take away features, or make previous implementations unfeasible. It provides a GUI front-end to many of the open source underpinnings already found on your Mac OS. On the surface this seems to be a great buy. Some features are not available in all countries. Some features require program enrollment. Some features require an Apple ID and/or compatible Internet access additional fees and terms apply.
