Chris I use Synergy from Weber systems http://www.webersys.com/ for my purposes. They have a free 30 day trial to determine you want or need it. I ended up going for the total package. I found the people at Weber to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The people you talk to actually write and maintain the software. And have been doing so for a long time.
