You are asking the wrong group. This product has been popular with
hackers who need to remotely administer compromised systems. It seems
to suit their needs very well.

Because of this, AV vendors may take a dim view of the product. Will
your local AV products tolerate the presence of this product?

The Dameware folks will let you download an evaluation copy for testing.
