Pros

  • Reliable and user friendly for those with prior experience. Connections are generally stable and secure.

  • Great platform, free for up a couple of machines, can be used to make your own "homemade server," and it also has all the major features competitors offer, if not more.

Cons

  • Tne Connection problems time by time, which needs restart.

  • If you have some vpn installed, it stops working in part, there is no connectivity between the computers since they cannot ping each other.

"Easy way to play games with friends online"

Overall: I always had a seamless online gaming experience without any noticeable speed issues related to Hamachi.

Pros: Hamachi creates the possibility to play games online with friends, that do not have specialized way of playing them - I personally used it for games such as Heroes of Might and Magic 4 or Stronghold Crusader.

Cons: One of the things that sometimes bugged me is that there is a color indication of whether someone is available. Oftentimes I could not connect to someone through Hamachi and there was no useful information why that happens, or how to fix the issue.

"about Hamachi"

Overall: At first I needed it for a small network, for which it was the most suitable product. Then the number of users started to increase, after which we switched to the paid version. If you have a stable internet connection, Hamachi will not be a problem for you

Pros: If you have less user then 5, you can use it free.

Cons: Tne Connection problems time by time, which needs restart

Alternatives Considered: KerioControl
Reasons for Choosing Hamachi: first of all it was free and easy to use.

"Premium features for low to no-cost "

Overall: Great platform, free for up a couple of machines, can be used to make your own "homemade server," and it also has all the major features competitors offer, if not more.

Pros: A game changer for local networks, collaboration, gaming, and much more! I also love the network type selection for Mesh, gateway, and so on.

Cons: It is not really easy to setup and configure and it can be intimidating at first glance compared to other similar services
