I find the product ideal for a university environment, and administrative tasks are greatly simplified. A nice feature of JANET is that they provide a means to encrypt and assign quotas to applications. The JANET team has always been responsive to suggestions, and I enjoy dealing with them.

I find the I agree that Waterloo MacJANET is very good for the student university environment. TOPS and Appleshare might be ok for small offices, but there is no easy way to handle large number of accounts and adequately control software in these products. MacJANET is designed with these things in mind. The next version is even to have laser printer accounting! -- Paul H.
