    TeamViewer is much more useful for transferring files, but its changing interfaces and neeedless complexity make it less than ideal for our routine use

    Chose GoToMyPC
    TeamViewer accuses me of using the product commercially, and will not let me access my desktop - so it is 100% useless to me. Before this started happening, I could access but only sporadically and sometimes it would just close me out without warning when I was in the middle …

    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.

    If someone were to ask me for a recommendation, I would honestly say that it was the best option for me. Many times, my team members, other therapy department consultants, or doctors have encountered a problem with their systems that they are unable to resolve on their own. They just reached out to me and explained their concerns. Once their system is connected to me, I can resolve their situation in a very short amount of time.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • The core of our business is providing remote IT support to unmanned stations. Without a program like TeamViewer, we would be unable to operate.
