    Chose GoToMyPC
    I have used LogMeIn and TeamViewer, but GoToMyPc is easier to use, for me as the support person and for the end users on the remote computers. For remote tech support and for training sessions on software applications I would say it has all the functionality and performance …

    1) Though feature wise PCAnyhere has no comparison but some of its features are not required or not used frequently, hence user is paying for most of things it don't require but GoToMyPC has only the relevant features which is available at less cost obviously.

    I think GoToMyPC is well-suited for any scenario I have encountered, although I only have experience using it in a small firm setting. Otherwise, for working from home and traveling or file retrieval, it has proved more than adequate. I have not encountered a scenario that I thought was less than appropriate.

    Most of the time it is great. Sometimes with iPads it is not great or too expensive for orgs to pay for an option to allow iPads to be logged into along with computers and windows computer tablets. When needing to view something a client is talking about. It is great to use login to understand the issue and possibly fix any issues we need.

    • I am able to easily access both of my home monitors on GoToMyPC by simply clicking on a slider bar.
    • I have access to all of my drives and programs as if I were sitting in my office.
    • GoToMyPC allows me to print to my office printers so I can complete paperwork and print it for my colleagues back in the office to use.

    • Transfer or copy files from the computer drive (c drive) to your active desktop file folders.
    • The ability to set your own "Time Out" too often I have to log back in if switching between computer screens.
    • Easier way to print documents to printers not connected to the computer being accessed.

    I have been using GotomyPC for 20 years and it's gotten better with time. It's the best remote app that I've tried. The others were harder to use and not as functional. It allows us to work from anywhere just as if we were in the office. Even being able to print to my remote location is a wonderful way of doing work. I don't have to drag it to my remote device, It will just print without any hassle

    It may not be used often in our smaller organization but it really is the only option with a remote workforce. We do not want to learn a new product so it is much better to keep with what we know works well and our staff is used to utilizing

    Usability
    GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
    Really easy to use-even if you forget your password frequently like me. The reset password feature is not cumbersome and does not require phoning Customer Service. Just a few clicks and a bit of creativity to come up with a new password. I like this "easy button" approach. Definitely recommend.

    I believe that LogMeIn Rescue is extremely suitable for users of all levels of technical prowess. The user interaction is minimal, and the agent is available to take over at every step of the way. From problem resolution to training, LogMeIn Rescue can take care of it all. LogMeIn Rescue makes the user support process easier and faster so the user can have the issues resolved in a timely manner.

    I have never had to contact support. The product is so easy to use I have not needed help (yet). But if I had to contact them, I am sure they would be just as great to work with as the product itself is.

    I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

    It set up quickly and assigning log ins to various computers was simple. I don't think you need many insights into the product. It's easy to implement and easy to use. Since it's a work tool, it needs be that way. I wouldn't want the tool to have any learning curve when some of the people using it are not tech savvy. They are accessing their work computers for files or to work on apps that their remote devices might not have loaded.

    I recently started having problems with Splashtop - slow response/freezes/drops, and after troubleshooting everything
    internet and hardware related, decided to check out GoToMyPC as one step
    in troubleshooting. GoToMyPC has better response
    time and has been more reliable. So far I am pleased with the switch with just a couple of minor matters mentioned earlier in review.

    Truth be told, Rescue is the first and so far only solution from LogMeIn I started to use. However since it offers a wide range of tools specifically designed for remote support, it is highly effective for resolving technical issues. Additionally, Rescue provides various connection methods and customizable interfaces, allowing support teams like mine to tailor the experience to specific needs.

    I can use it on all of my devices - even my Galaxy phone. Once you log into your device, you work on it as if you were physically in front of it. Not much complexity in that. If you can work on your own device, you can work on it through another device - even a phone.
