I can run my law practice at home on my Mac with GoToMyPC

I started using it as a necessity during the pandemic shut down. It's now enabled me to keep my home office running and I love being able to work from home.

PROS

I can use my Mac at home to run my PC remotely. The Mac doesn't run my legal management software. But using GoToMyPC, I can open my work computer from anywhere my Mac or my MacAir Laptop or even my iPad goes.

CONS

My office computer does have to stay on all the time. It does sometimes (rarely) lose the connection and I need to reinstall GoToMyPC. I think that's happened three times since I started using it 3 years ago so that's not so bad!

GoToMyPC is an invaluable tool for remote access

Excellent, and have used for about 15 years without any major issues

PROS

I love being able to access our main office desktop from anywhere in the world. It means that we can keep all business related work and programmes on the office computer so there is no confidential material on laptops and if, as has happened, there is a problem with a remote laptop it can be wiped/rebooted without any effect on the main office workstation

CONS

I struggle with multiple monitors sometimes

Reason for choosing GoToMyPC

It was suggested to me by my computer consultant

Past its prime

It enabled our users to access their computers remotely, but it is a very no frills experience and feels archaic compared to the competition while being sold for a similar price. It is clear that this is simply legacy software that GoTo offers to those that haven't thought to test the market.

PROS

At the end of the day GoToMyPC will allow you to access a PC remotely, so it does accomplish what it sets out to do.

CONS

I have tested and used various remote desktop software and GoToMyPC is probably the most basic and feature poor of them all. The entire thing feels like it hasn't been in active development in at least 10 years. Lacks the ability to open remote monitors in their own windows is a huge missing feature that any modern remote desktop software should be embarrassed to lack and was the number 1 complaint from my users.

Reasons for switching to GoToMyPC

The biggest considering was price. Teamviewer is a more expensive product, but perhaps the extra cost was worth it.

Long Time User

I would recommend it to another person. I am very happy with the product. I have used it for at least ten years and it fills our needs quite nicely.

PROS

I like how easy it is to use. I work from home and remote into the office, and when I travel it is easy for me to keep on top of things. It was easy to install and the directions for use were clear. This was important to me as I am not very tech savy.

CONS

I have been a long time customer and it seems like the cost jumped quite a bit a few years ago.
