    I think Teamviewer can do this when it's installed as service not only client. I know it can reboot/shutdown. There's no software able to sleep/wake up your pc since when it's in sleep, there's no network connection.

    Have a look at LogMeIn. You install it as a server on your computer, and you can remote control it from any browser. There are mobile apps as well (Android, iOS).

    They have a free version that is really, really good for most users. It has WOL as well as other handy features.

    I personally prefer to use the regular Windows RDP, but I always recommend LogMeIn for other users who just need something that works without much fuss.

    Please note, that this application does pose some security hazards, such as automatically bypassing some firewalls and other internet security (so that it can be reached by the central LogMeIn server).
