LogMeIn Resolve Features
Comments about LogMeIn Resolve as an Alternative to Multiplicity
Really very different functionality. Multiplicity is for locally sharing keyboard/mouse across multiple computers. LogMeIn is remote desktop software.
LogMein is for REMOTE control /viewing/meeting etc. Multiplicity is for Local (as in, on the same desk) control/viewing etc., essentially functioning as a controller without being a viewer also. LogMeIn does not function as a controller unless you also have a view window open.

Comments about AeroAdmin as an Alternative to Multiplicity
Really very different functionality. Multiplicity is for locally sharing keyboard/mouse across multiple computers. Aeroadmin is remote desktop software.
Shares peripherals ONLY between computers with their own screens, multiplicity uses a single computer, to virtually kvm switch between computers using the same monitor as well as peripherals.
