(1-25 of 64)My Most Essential App
I work remotely at least 2 days a week and this gives me flexible hours and more freedom to work from anywhere. I can log onto my work PC from a laptop, tablet or even my phone. And since we don't have walk-in customers, I don't really need to be in the office daily. Today's work world is increasingly digital and cloud based, so there is no reason to spend the time driving to an office when I have my office with me via my tablet. And I can log onto my work computer and use GoToMyPC from it to reach the other computers on our network as well as the ones with GoToMyPC subscriptions all from one screen.
- Love to be able to print on my local printer. If I have documents that need to be printed, signed and mailed, I don't have to wait to go into the office.
- I can work remotely on my office PC just as if I were sitting in front of it.
- I can log onto our other devices from one remote connection.
- I don't see much that I would change. It works very well and the more complicated an app becomes, the harder it is to use. It already has a lot of features. It has even kept the FTP option if it's needed.

- I cant think of any.
Great tool for business!
- Feel Confident of the security level to protect the data
- Allows complete access to my desktop applications and printing capability
- Help section has a lot of answers!
- Still trying to figure out the resolution - the app screens are magnified sometimes so it's difficult to see some of the options.
- I'm new to GoToMyPC so I'm sure a lot of my issues are lack of knowledge
Retail Store Remote Access from Remote Office
- Remote printing
- Quick troubleshooting access
- File transfers
- File transfer can be hard because you are dragging and dropping. It doesn't work sometimes
- Lower Pricing for small businesses
Perfect solution for keeping employees that relocate
- Easy to connect
- Consistent connection
- No backing up files to transfer to be the office computer
- 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.
GoToMyPC allows businesses to be on the Go.
- You have access to all the programs on the office PC as if you were sitting right there.
- It makes it easy to retrieve files to work on remotely and then compare the files to those on your remote PC.
- It is easy and quick to "dial" in.
- The security level is reassuring.
- it is more expensive than other remote software.
- It resizes your desktop font every time you dial in and has to be manually changed back after the completion of the session.
- When dialing in GoToMyPC sometimes stalls and has to be refreshed to continue.
GoToMyPC is the best that I have used
- The system is as fast as if I was in front of my work computer
- The appearance looks just like my computer at work.
- The system allows me to print remotely without issue.
- The system logs me out after 5-10 minutes of inactivity. Maybe there is, or could be a setting to allow longer inactivity before log out.
- In order to have speed, I pull the graphics down to minimum. If I need to view anything other than print, it is not very clear.
- I believe that I am unable to set the system to allow me to dictate into my office system from a remote location. That ability would be helpful.
KEEPS ME CONNECTED !
- Stays Connected
- Gives ability to reboot host computer seamlessly
- Makes printing to host or client computer easy
- Explanations on menu for printers
Good Service Great Technical Support
- Technical support has always been GREAT. First of all its available 24/7.
- Technical support actually picks up the phone and answer when we call.
- Every time Technical support has always been knowledgeable and helpful to efficiently solve any problems .
- There ARE outages sometimes but that is going to happen with any service
It can be lagging just a bit from time to time but that might actually be to internet service not Go To My PC
Great product!
- It allows me to work remotely literally as if I am sitting at my office desk.
- I would like to see the price come down for basic users. I use it only for remote access and printing.
A lifesaver for helping technically challenged remote workers, and accessing office from home.
- Helping remote workers who are technically challenged, in particularly senior employees who have incredible knowledge and skills, but technically challenged on basic computer issues.
- Remote log-in from my home office on rural internet to my office location on fiber. I regularly log in for retrieval of digital assets, or uploading very large files that would take days on my home rural internet.
- Reliable connection
- Ability to reboot remotely
- Easy setup and maintenance - "install and forget" until you need it.
- Price is on the high side
- Remote mouse view is sketch
- Renders remote computer clearly.
- Responds to remote controls quickly.
- Price is good
- The only thing I can think of is the constant pop-up for LastPass that popped up for a while.
- The product is extremely easy to use and set up.
- he one time I had a technical issue, customer service was amazingly helpful and responsive and even gave me insight into why the issue occurred so it could be avoided in the future.
- The product allows me to connect from any computer to my intended target (remote development environment) to get work that I need done when I'm away.
- I do not have any cons to state.
- It has everything that I need and many features that I do not need but are nice to know exist should the need arise.
- It's always to get things for lower prices but I do think the price is fair.
As I've indicated in other responses, GoToMyPC allows me to access my development environment for a website that I maintain so that if fixes are needed I can make them regardless of where I might be when an alert comes in.
- Allows for both remote printing and printing at the host location
- Gives employees the ability to log in when buried under 4 feet of snow
- Keeps the avenue of communication when cellular towers are down
- My employees have found the installation instructions difficult to understand
- Occasionally, the remote printing is glitchy, especially when the internet connections are weak

Twenty Years and Counting
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been able to work at home and stay safe. But I am also able to access our estimator's computer directly to download plans and leave note directly on his desktop because his computers at his homes are also running GoToMyPC.
I've been using GoToMyPC since I first discovered it over 20 years ago when we were still using dial up & before 'drag & drop" was available - it worked well then, and it's gotten better all the time.
- Let's me work from my actual office computer's desktop
- Transfers large files from one computer to another - fast
- Let's me access our other remote computers within my first remote access so I don't have to go back and forth between logins.
- A voice or video feature might be nice on occasion
- Printing doesn't work on all of my remote computers
- Mostly happy with everything
If you work on an ipad, it's not always the best unless you have a keyboard.
I can use it on my phone for quick references or to email a file from my office computer, but it's not the greatest way to use the service. Just a stopgap. I usually carry a Surface that works great for remomte work, but sometimes I only have my phone. At least I have access, but using the screen "mouse" on my phone is a pain.
If you carry a laptop with you and it's your main work computer, you wouldn't need this service.
