GoToMyPCSplashtop
Considered Both Products
GoToMyPC
Chose GoToMyPC
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
Speed, ease of use and versatility.
Chose GoToMyPC
AnyDesk is cheaper, but much more complicated to set up. GoToMyPC is easy to setup, easy to use and very functional, so I stuck with it.
Chose GoToMyPC
Didn't seem as functional and easy to use
Chose GoToMyPC
Never even considered another platform other than GoToMyPC...
Chose GoToMyPC
Synology was difficult was difficult to log into and also find the correct files. I could access the files but any changes did not automatically save to the computer. There was no technical support to help understand how to use the program. We do not have an IT person in our …
Chose GoToMyPC
I have used some other programs that only allowed file retrieval, but I couldn't use some of the files because you had to have the program on the remote computer and, therefore, had limited use. I also tried using Windows remote capability but ran into issues that made it …
Chose GoToMyPC
Biggest issue what the printer settings would get messed up everytime we tried to print remotely & then our point of sale receipts and pricing labels would not work properly.
Chose GoToMyPC
GoToMyPCC is faster, cleaner and does not log out in a short time of inactivity. The log in protocol is easier as well.
Chose GoToMyPC
I know LogMeIn and GoToMyPC merged, but I didn't like the LogMeIn format. It was harder to use. I was forced into it because GoToMyPC didn't support one of my devices.
Chose GoToMyPC
I believe LogMeIn is part of GoToMyPC. I am very satisfied with either one. But, GoToMyPC is the best program I've ever used and I am very satisfied.
Chose GoToMyPC
I have not accessed other programs. GoToMyPC has meet and exceed my needed so I have not had to look elsewhere for additional solutions.
Chose GoToMyPC
I found it to be more difficult than other multi-attendee platforms such as Zoom, WebX, and Discord. I prefer both Zoom and Discord to GoToMeeting.
Chose GoToMyPC
GoToMyPc far surpasses. I tried TeamViewer for a few months, but came right back to GoToMyPc. I like it so much better.
Chose GoToMyPC
Price $99.00 per user to access up to 10 computers - In my opinion, GoToMyPC is far more expensive.
Chose GoToMyPC
I used to use Chrome Remote Desktop, but it was a hassle, especially because of the multiple monitor setup. It would screw up the icons on my desktop.
Chose GoToMyPC
GoToMyPC is about the same as the others, as far as useability, but the price and setup are better.
Splashtop
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop Enterprise was easier for our clients to use than LogMeIn Rescue that we used to use. It is a more lightweight and robust feeling software. The biggest benefit for us was the cost of Splashtop vs LogMeIn.
Chose Splashtop
Teamviewer is good for IT support individual remote computers, when doing connection, what we need is only remote party's ID and password, no other authentication is needed. The authentication is verbally over the phone when IT talks to the supported customers. However, this is …
Chose Splashtop
I prefer TeamViewer but it costs a lot more. We do also use TeamViewer for unattended access but the cost is so great that we might look at alternatives when our license expires. If the price was not an issue I would pick TeamViewer Quick Support over Splashtop SOS but for …
Chose Splashtop
cost, it is only a fraction of the cost of Teamviewer, also, same number of features for remote desktop but more new features for remote IT management of the computers with the client installed. No brainer.
Chose Splashtop
Teamviewer and Logmein were just to expensive, VNC has issues with windows 10 and RDP requires port forwarding in the router, so its fine for servers, but not ideal as a remote support system. Splashtop was easier or cheaper than anything else we tried.
Chose Splashtop
  • Team viewer is expensive
  • Chrome Remote Desktop is hard to use at times, makes the screen smaller, and is hard to use on multi-user screens
  • Windows Remote Desktop does not let you sign in as the local user
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop Business Enterprise is actually easier to implement and get it up and running, all users have to do is download the standard or personalize file and run it, then share the code with you and you are all set to go, i like it because you can even do it from your phone if …
Chose Splashtop
After evaluating several possible remote support products, Splashtop SOS represented the best value for money to a small business owner. This was largely due to its tiered licensing structure, with the base Splashtop SOS solution providing all the features I needed. This …
Chose Splashtop
[In my experience] TeamViewer is just too expensive for what I consider marginal benefit. Splashtop SOS works incredibly well, and while [I feel] TeamViewer does have a performance edge, I just can't justify the massive increase in cost. Plus, to my knowledge, TeamViewer's …
Chose Splashtop
Competitors did not have the same great level of performance. Had more disconnects with those as well.
Chose Splashtop
It's certainly not as feature rich or the same level of remote management system, but Splashtop SOS is a fraction of the cost and does exactly what I need it to do.
Chose Splashtop
Cost is the best competing factor.
Chose Splashtop
Simply put, Splashtop SOS works. The remote control feature of SOTI's MobiControl just didn't work for us. We spent countless hours working with SOTI to get additional apps to support remote control for various Lenovo tablets. It was a huge burden and it just didn't work. …
Chose Splashtop
I have not looked at TeamViewer in quite some time but I found Splashtop SOS for me to be at least a 1 to 1 feature switch. And right now connecting to mobile devices to see a customers screen is included with Splashtop SOS and it is a real value add. I hope it says that way. …
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop SOS is similar [for remote control and support] to N-able RMM, and Teamviewer. The selection of Splashtop SOS is primarily for cost control.
Chose Splashtop
I find that Splashtop SOS is as easy or easier to use. LogMeIn was a very great deal more expensive and I would not be able to regain much return on that investment.
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop SOS is significantly more affordable than its competitors for smaller operations like ours. The base subscription is more than adequate for our use, whereas most competitors overkill single-user capacity. Additionally, competitive products frequently restrict the …
Chose Splashtop
Price and easy of setup plus connection setup is better with Splashtop [SOS]
Chose Splashtop
Initially, it was the cost but, I almost went with TeamViewer because at the time of evaluation Splashtop [SOS] did not support user switching while staying connected (running as a service). This was a deal-breaker for me due to my clients not being an admin. I was going to go …

I highly recommend GoToMyPC if you need to more than a mere data access, but need to virtually be sitting in front of a remote computer. The ability for the user on the other end to watch your actions is also very helpful
Read full review
Well Suited for Remote users with PCs needing to login to specific remote PC's. It is less functional for remote users on Cell phones although Cell phone users can look on the remote PC to see if they need to logon from a desktop to conduct transactions

Pros
  • I am able to easily access both of my home monitors on GoToMyPC by simply clicking on a slider bar.
  • I have access to all of my drives and programs as if I were sitting in my office.
  • GoToMyPC allows me to print to my office printers so I can complete paperwork and print it for my colleagues back in the office to use.

  • Unbelievable performance! It's so fast I tested a PC game through it just for fun, and it was incredible!
  • The increase in productivity throughout our organization has been notable. The flexibility of employees to occasionally work remotely, when needed, has been hugely beneficial.
  • Enterprise IT tools like One-to-Many actions has saved us a lot of time and headache in certain situations, such as deploying a basic MSI or script. SOS has been a saving grace for some employees to receive remote IT support in emergency situations, as well.

Cons
  • On occasion an email or a program document does not print at home.
  • I save to hard drive at home and will have to log out of GoToMyPC to access the file on my external hard drive, email it, and the log back in. Not a big deal.

  • Splashtop had a functionality issue with a Mac OS upgrade recently that prevented remote access for about two weeks. I had to request tickets directly and they had known about the impending issue without a collaborative solution between them and Apple.
  • Better Beta testing for version upgrades is always needed. Software is constantly changing so these types of platforms need to be at the forefront of resolving interoperability issues with Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.
  • The tech support for the issue I experience could have been more proactive. I was providing my client's IT provider and Splashtop with updates on the bug issue, where it should have been the other way around.

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

I believe that I will renew Splashtop without any problems in the coming years as eating stable costs without increases even in critical periods such as the Covid virus, Splashtop allows access to 25 unattended stations and has continuous updates and new features. It also allows resale to users with sub-accounts

Usability
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's hard to find any significant faults with Splashtop. It offers a very responsive remote access experience with clear and simple interface. There's very little learning curve as it's toolbar mimics other popular remote access solutions graphical user interface. It's gives you access to your remote computer quickly and stays out of your way

Reliability and Availability
I've never had a problem unless the host computer itself is having an issue - such as being off line.
Read full review
I've never had any issues with it, nor any connectivity issues. They always say when they'll be maintaining the system and it's always in the odd hours, so nobody uses then. But I've never had any issues.

Performance
The performance is dictated by the internet connection speed. As long as I have a good connection, the performance is great. And GoToMyPC has a warning when either the host or the client has a poor connection

Pages and servers load fast, normal speed. It doesn't lag or anything like that. I don't integrate it with anything else.

Support Rating
I have never had to contact support. The product is so easy to use I have not needed help (yet). But if I had to contact them, I am sure they would be just as great to work with as the product itself is.
Read full review
Splashtop has good customer support - they respond quickly and provide adequate solutions, but we honestly rarely find ourselves needing to reach out to them. The software is so easy to use and about as plug-and-play as it gets, so we generally don't run into an issue that does not have an immediate, obvious solution provided in the software.

Implementation Rating
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.

It couldn't have been any easier to setup and I have had no issues with it since it was implemented. It's a great product and makes remotely connecting to another device so simple and quick. I can't recommend it enough

I can use it on all of my devices - even my Galaxy phone. Once you log into your device, you work on it as if you were physically in front of it. Not much complexity in that. If you can work on your own device, you can work on it through another device - even a phone.

Return on Investment
  • GoToMyPC has had a positive impact on my ROI as a small business.
  • After completing the last questions, it appears that I am not fully utilizing all the features that are available and I could have an even greater experience if I am able to learn more about these unused offerings within GoToMyPC.

  • Since we cannot utilize an enterprise-level POS system, Splashtop bridges the data gap between our store locations and our headquarters. This is what enables us to function. Without remote terminal access, our business would be unable to operate. Period. I can't overstate this.
