Owner in Finance and Accounting at HighRoad Accounting (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Participants do not need to download any software. Great feature. Keeps disks from getting cluttered up for participants.
  • Mikogo works on a mobile and a desktop platform. Participants can join from their smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop.
  • Simple straight-forward screen platform. Mikogo makes it easy for both myself and participants to join a presentation.
  • Cloud-based so works on any operating system.

Cons

  • Customer Support. Blog based and slow to respond
  • Free version is limited

Return on Investment

  • Mikogo has made it easy for me to broaden my ability to support my clients, thus enhancing my value to customers
  • Mikogo opens the door for me to be a true online accounting firm, able to take on client no matter their location

Mikogo is a great tool when you are in a pinch

Incentivized
Verified User
Administrator in Information Technology (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

  • Collaboration audio/video - Very strong features. It simple and it just works as you expect. Especially multi-user collaboration capability.
  • File sharing - Again, nothing fancy but works as advertised.
  • Inexpensive- A single license allows for up to 25 participants and 3 concurrent calls. Even the free version is extremely capable and a good go-to option.

Cons

  • It lacks some features that could be useful for providing remote technical support but it is never meant to be a remote support tool, it is a collaboration tool.
  • Can't really find anything bad to say about this product. I was never in a scenario where I thought something is not working as expected or can't find a feature or can't figure out how to do something.

Return on Investment

  • It is a very helpful backup tool for collaboration.
  • It doesn't have all the bells and whistles like Teams but its also much cheaper and much better performance than Skype.

Alternatives Considered

Skype for Business (formerly Lync), Microsoft Teams and TeamViewer

Other Software Used

Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business (formerly Lync), Cisco Webex Room Series (formerly Cisco Spark Room Series), TeamViewer
