I have used ConsoleWorks and found it a good solution, but it wasn't 
cheap.  IIRC the more connections you have the more expensive it 
becomes, and the annual maintenance was something like 30% of the 
initial licence price, which struck me as high in comparison with other 
products I have used.  However, support was excellent and the 
enhancement requests I submitted were swiftly implemnted, so you 
actually got something for that.
