Unhappy customer

Pros: Easier to work with customers with a product like this. Unfortunatley, it's not supported well.

Cons: Poor sound quality. Frustrating, if not non-existent customer service.

Review: One should weigh out resources in terms of time required to work with a company such as this. I'm ready to jump ship.

User Rating: 3/10

Not as hot as I thought

Pros: Slightly easy to use

Cons: As trashy as eFax in monthly charge and junk mail

Review: If you haven't signed up for GoToMyPC yet, then don't. For something that's a glorified Remote Desktop, the monthly charge is ridiculous. It should be a $19.95 one time charge. Webex is a similar obnoxious style of product but they have government support from their lazy work force.

Just signed up two days and already six junk mails from the developer.. blah I can see what the future is going to become...

I'll Pass. Too much money for too little performance

Pros: Goes through firewalls

Cons: Slow, Expensive, Only a 30 day trial

Review: There are many other options out there that do a better job, and some are even for free. GoToMyPC does deliever on it's promise of accessing off-lan pc's, or pc's that are behind firewalls. It does this however, slowly and for $20 per-month.

I'd rather use something like logmein which is free, and doesn't have the connect hickups commonly found in GTMPC. I guess it comes down to cost/performance thing.

Fine if you like slow

Pros: Easy to install

Cons: Too slow for real work

Review: I wanted to be able to move files easily from work and home, and paid for GotoMyPc for a month ($19.95). To get the second computer displayed takes forever, every mouse click takes awhile to respond, it's just way too slow to be practical. No way can you run programs if you have to sit and wait for the response after every action. I'm ending this, and going with LogMeIn. Very cool -- near real-time response with LogMeIn, and it's less costly too!

Not worth your cash

Pros: It's pretty good at what it does if you don't mind the wait and the price.

Cons: No real need now that MyWebEx PC does the same thing for free... http://www.mywebexpc.com

Handy Service

Pros: Refresh rate is fast when you're on high speed connections on both ends. Easy to setup and use. Nice file transfer feature. Very convenient to access the host computer from any computer. Easy to run any application on the host computer. Overall, it's a ve

Cons: No customer support after normal business hours. No cancellation online. Even when you call during normal business hours, you don't get to wait for someone, you have to leave a message and hope that they return it -- which they didn't. Freezes host comput

First time I have had true love for software product!

Pros: Fast, easy to use, secure. Tech support is quick to answer the phone, polite and always helpful. I have been so pleased I have encouraged many of my associates to switch remote access software products. Great, great, great!

Cons: Don't have any experiences with 'cons' to date.

User Rating: 4/10

OK for single user, forget it anything more

Pros: Great for easy access to your PC at work.

Cons: Don't be tempted by the ease of use, it comes at a cost. This is a subscription service, you NEVER own it. So, you will be paying to use it until you stop using it when you switch to Citrix or Anywhere or even the free VNC. Doesn't scale at all, for more

Been using for two years

Pros: I can use GoToMyPC to access my home computer from work, my parent's home, school, wherever. Originally purchased because I wanted to setup a web server on my home computer in between classes. Now that I've graduated college, I use it to write emails (I

Cons: Sometimes there's a lag. When there is a lag, it's totally obnoxious and intolerable. Otherwise, it's ALMOST like I'm there (still a tiny bit of latency).

Great application

Pros: The service allows me to leave the office early and continue working. While other services allow that, this one allows me to use any computer with an Internet connection to connect to my office and get work done. Now I can go on vacation and relax witho

Cons: Sometimes it's a bit slow, but I don't think GoToMyPC can be blamed for that. One enormous problem I have with it (again, I'm not sure it can be blamed on GoToMyPC) is that my host computer freezes up when I use it remotely. This requires a hard reboot,

Super product. Wouldn't part with it.

Pros: Easy installation and setup. I use it daily to access a remote computer running stock trading software.

Cons:

User Rating: 3/10

Long long long wait

Pros: fairly simple set-up but it had many steps and back and forth between email and web browser

Cons: had to wait more than 20 for a customer service rep on the phone as there is no email support for canceling free trail - that was a drag and they should compensate me for my wasted time... saves time? wastes time!

Excellent!! Couldn't live without it!

Pros: Everything it does, it does very well. The remote printing is invaluable. The screen refresh rate is excellent on broadband.

Cons: GoToMyPC is a bit slow with a dialup conx... refresh rate suffers. I use it on three PCs & it's a bit costly.

Pros: do not need IT involvment to get set up. No worries about VPN on machine. Perfect for remote workers

Cons: need to have on wireless phone.
