Best Enterprise Manager clone/wannabe?

Hi,
When working with environments that use the MSDE, we usually plug a laptop
into their network that has Enterprise Manager on it, and work that way.
Is there a good possibly third partry product that is not too expensive and
can be loaded on their machine so we don't have to do this? That way I could
go in via the Net and work with out going to their location.
I know there are a couple out there, I just haven't been able to find anyone
who has experience with them.
Thanks,
Steve
Why can't you load EM (Client Tools) only?

and tools to manage MSDE- there are some free ones listed.
Of the third party tools, DbaMgr is good.
If you are just looking for a query tool, Toad for SQL
Server works well.
