Cheaper than the competition, with all the features I need
RemotePC is cheaper than the competition, with all the features I need.
PROSPrice: RemotePC is cheaper than the competition. I previously used another program (ZOHO Assist) but was looking for something better, but also cheaper if possible. RemotePC is cheaper, especially since I got the special discount for getting a 2-year subscription.Audio chat:I use RemotePC to hop onto computers of friends and family to help them fix things and troubleshoot. The video chat functionality is extra cool as we can can video or audio chat while I help them fix things on their computer.Good connection:I have fibre optic internet but the people I help remotely often have pretty terrible internet and yet it works perfectly.
CONSA minor thing but I don't need the video aspect of Video chat, I just use it to chat to the person I am helping by voice. A simple audio chat feature would be cool.

Don't ever rely on this software!!
Overall experience is poor, have had several time consuming chat sessions and the answer is always to "update to the latest version" - which makes no difference.
PROSI liked the appeal of the price.... but I soon learnt you get what you pay for!
CONSUnreliable, don't ever install this where remote access to a machine is critical - it will let you down! Buggy, crashes all the time with various software exceptions, file transfer is is a guessing game as to whether it will do it/has done it, client machines continuously need the software processes killing via task manager and then re starting to get it to work - this is exaggerated on pcs with multiple user accounts as switching users seems to cause it to hang consistently. Also has a habit of reporting that a session is in progress when it is not. I was a Logmein user for years before switching to this product so no stranger to remote software. Logmein might be more expensive but it is in a completely different league to RemotePC

Best remote pc app I've used
Very easy to setup and use across multiple computers. Plenty of options for performance like turning off backgrounds or aero theme to increase speeds. Easy to switch between multiple screens. Works as intended and I even like it better than the other guys that are available. Gir the price it's hard to beat.
CONSHaven't found anything I dislike about the product.

Full featured and cost effective solution to remote access.
A totally satisfied customer who rates this software as essential, reliable and simple.
PROSPricing is realistically based rather than 'have you over a barrel' prices from other solutions. Definitely a lot of features for the price, easy to install and straightforward to use. This puts many other solutions that cost 3 times the price to shame. Excellent product!
CONSHonestly, it is hard to fault. I run this software on linux, windows and mac systems but one tiny thing I haven't managed to do yet is complete the installation without errors on an old Linux system. I think the system is up to date but I am still struggling. However, I have successfully installed it 1st time on another identical Linux system so I think the problem lies at my end rather than the software. No problems installing on several windows machines and macs though.
Reason for choosing RemotePC
More features, better mobile interface, better desktop interface, better user experience and file transfers.
Reasons for switching to RemotePC
Teamviewer is a rip off and there autorenewal system is outrageous. Minimum 28 days notice is required or they bill you for a FULL YEAR! Dodgy tactics from that company and eye-watering prices. Customer service was appalling too.

A less expensive full featured alternative
Overall, the experience has been very positive with ease of use and deployment.
PROSRemote access, unattended access, and the ability to move files easily have all been game changers for our small agency. It was really easy to deploy across all of our computers and it has made it a breeze to be able to log in, move files, provide real time support, and ensure that our machines are as functional and safe as possible. We had previously been using an alternative that cost more and did not deliver as good of service without some limitations. We've been super happy with the switch and aren't planning to return to our prior program.
CONSOverall, we have been really pleased with the product and haven't found the features that we use to be lacking. However, we are a really small organization with simpler needs and I can see that larger organizations with more complex needs may find the overall product to be a bit simple for their needs.
Reasons for switching to RemotePC
We swapped as the overall cost was quite high for our needs and we were constrained by the number of devices that we could log in from which was challenging in a period of high growth for our company.

I'm coming back! Whoa. Teamviewer is not for me.
I didn't appreciate them and switched to Teamviewer and it was the worst experience EVER. There's no way the Teamviewer reviews are real.
PROSIt is solid, affordable, they are a decent organization.
CONSSometimes it seems hard for my clients to use, but I'm going to figure that out.
Reason for choosing RemotePC
Because they are honest and the value for dollar is great.
Reasons for switching to RemotePC
Abusive support at teamviewer. They REFUSED to cancel my license and give me my money back. So I have to dispute transaction with PayPal.

A great tool
In general it has been great! Easy to use, easy to configure and easy to follow up. Also is very cheap and offers a lot of stuff to make your remote working even better
PROSIs very easy to start using this tool, you don't need to be an IT expert (even your user don't need to)
CONSSometimes there is lag on the connection, and from time to time the screen just get black, so you have to close and open the software again (from the controller PC), but it happens rarely
Reason for choosing RemotePC
Because the price, the software is not as bigger as others in therms of MB, and is very easy to use

Google only offer 30 min connection, after that you are obligated to clic if you want to continue using. We can afford to monitor and clic each 30 min

Remote working made possible for everyone
In the short time that we had to switch our co-workers to allow them to work remotely at home, RemotePC really became a clutch tool since we were able to deploy it fast, and also because it had such a low learning curve, people who wasn't so computer savvy were able to work seemlessly.
PROSWe were pleasantly surprised on how easy it was to deploy this software to all of our users when we had to switch to a remotely operated work environment. Even people who weren't pro computer users, were able to easily login and start controlling their work PCs at home.
CONSIf there was a drawback, I would say the speed, but this is the problem with all remote desktop softwares. With RemotePC, you can at lease control it in a way so that you can slightly reduce the visual quality if you need the boost of speed.
Reasons for switching to RemotePC
TeamViewer also works great, but the cost was way too high for our use.

New SOHO User
So far after a few days I like the program. It is a good value.
PROSRemote PC appeared to have benefit to our organization and I decided to give it a try. I have only employed it for a few days. My first connect was eventually successful with the help of help desk chat. The presentation of the remote screen, Mac as remote and PC as host, was clear, responsive and uncluttered. I can see it will take a while and some more coaching to fully understand and operate. I am up for that. It has been a good beginning.
CONSI am an experienced PC user, but it will take watching videos, reading FAQs and coaching from the Help Desk to be fully up and running. It's not entirely intuitive.
Reason for choosing RemotePC
It just seemed right, and the cost was reasonable. As a non-profit we need to operate frugally.
Reasons for switching to RemotePC
Yes. We went from free on the old platform (too many restrictions), and to paid for Remote PC. I think it will be well worth it.

Great Software, But Could Use Better Instructions
I have used RemotePC daily for the last week in support of a client. It works exactly as I would have liked it to work. In one case, the keyboard stopped working, but I quickly fixed it by disconnecting and reconnecting. I love the fact that you can use the Attended Access feature without even installing the software on my PC.
PROSGreat price. Works well. Has two modes: Unattended and Attended Access. (The latter is perfect for remote support professionals.) From a trusted company.
CONSBetter documentation or user interface needed. Two examples: First, when an entry-level user wants to enable a second person to access his PC, the software should explain that the PC user must upgrade to a Soho account. This would not only reduce confusion but should also result in more upgrades. Second, the software should do a better job of explaining what the software does in Unattended Mode. RemotePC is basically two programs in one: Unattended Access, for someone who wants to access his own PC, and Attended Access, for someone who wants other to help other people.

Great software to work remotely
It has been a savior for me, given that I used other software initially. It really helped me during the work-from-home phase, where a reliable remote access tool was the need of the hour.
PROSIt is a great tool to work with. Great features are easily accessible and usable. It works great for me even during a slow internet connection. Apart from remote access, it can also be used to transfer huge files.
CONSUser interface can be improved a bit. Also, prices can be made more affordable looking at the highly competitive market.
