Considered Both Products
GoTo Resolve
Chose GoTo Resolve
GoToAssist fairs pretty well against WebEx Support Center. It costs less and offers the same general features, albeit with a slightly more dated interface. I have used both products extensively, and would be hard-pressed to really choose one over the other.

For internal support, …

Chose VNC Connect
VNC works really well. It gives a superior level of access compared to far more expensive products such as GoToAssist or WebEx Support Center, and does so at a tiny fraction of the cost. It also consumes far fewer resources than either of those two competing products. It's an …

GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
Go To Resolve is an ideal solution for larger organizations that span multiple offices/locations. In our case, we work for an international corporation that spans across the nation. Our IT department is typically outsourced from the United States, and we have one in-house IT staff member who looks after the hardware concerns more commonly. With the large number of staff working for our organization, we can be demanding in terms of needing technical support. GoTo Resolve has made this much more practical and convenient for our organization.

It is very easy to use if the remote device is already set up to receive connections, so if you are setting up devices before deploying them, it is a great tool to have. It is well-suited to use when shadowing users or using it as a teaching tool. There are other products that are better if you are trying to help someone on a one-use basis.

Pros
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • Provides a means to quickly connect and remotely control a client's workstation.
  • Has a great interface that guides the attendee through the entire process, while outlining where they actually are for the host.
  • Allows seamless transitions and additions of other support accounts to join an ongoing remote session.

  • VNC Connect does an excellent job in remotely connecting to a computer through either your local area network or even another computer on the internet. As long as the VNC Connect services is installed and the client is running in the background.
  • VNC Connect provides password protection to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to remotely access your computer. There's an option to have a separate password to remotely view vs view & access a computer. You can even add an additional level of security by turning on the feature to require Windows login credentials.
  • VNC Connect provides an additional set of controls after a remote connection has been established with another computer. You can have special keystrokes like Ctrl+Alt+Del sent as a command sequence to the other computer as well as access more than a single screen when in use at the remote computer location.

Cons
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • User Interface Customization: While Goto Resolve's interface is user-friendly, it has limited customization options.
  • Mobile App: Goto Resolve doesn't have a dedicated mobile app, which can be inconvenient for users who need to access the platform on the go.
  • Custom Reporting: While Goto Resolve offers various reports, it lacks the ability to create custom reports.

  • Its a pretty straight forward product - I would like to see more tools with a "wow" factor.
  • Panel colors are blah - I would like more eye-catching colors.
  • A more consistent look with all platforms - like Mac & PC.

I would say yes, we would definitely renew, everyone likes it in the IT dept, and there are more features we have yet to put to use. I am expanding the Windows update / Endpoint features as I get time, and the remote PowerShell console is unbeatable for me at present when facing remote computers that are not letting create a new remote PSSession.

VNC is a solid product for the price. It simply works and its reliable across different platforms. Some products state they work well in the Mac environment but don't deliver. This one does what it says. Connections are reliable, but of course, this depends on internet connections. The product works well over wireless connections as well. It delivers on what a remote tool should deliver on. My technicians are happy with the product and customers appreciate the ease of use when letting us connect to their systems. Some also appreciate the remote support while they are multi-task.

Usability
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
User interface is extremely intuitive. It is very easy to use. No training needed for my technicians. GoTo Resolve has made it easy for me to provide remote assistance to users from anywhere. I was very easily able to get it to run on my smart phone allowing me to quickly solve a IT issue at work while in the middle of a road trip.

VNC Connect is a solid product and our techs are very confident that they can get the job done using it. Reliability is key for us since we have a small support team and many users to support. It also helps keep us in the background more allowing the end-users to multi-task. VNC supports our goal of providing quick and efficient services.

Reliability and Availability

Performance

If you are connected to someone with proper bandwidth, there are no issues at all. With all things, if you connect to someone with dial-up (yes, it still exists), the performance is terrible.

Ive used their tech support a handful of times, and each time they have been able to help me sort out any hiccups or kinks that arise. They have a resourceful knowledge base, and have experts available for training and troubleshooting. I often recommend them to my other coworkers and colleagues because of the ease of use and security

VNC Connect is a reliable product that has been around for a long time. It is reasonably priced and works well in the Mac & PC environment. When you have a small team that supports many users we need tools that we can rely upon and that will get the job done on the first try. Many customers appreciate the quick assistance and can multi-task while our team works on their computer issues remotely. From a customer service point of view, this tool gives us transparency and efficient effectiveness.

The training is very informative, quick and to the point. All of the details one would need are present so the user doesn't have to go searching for additional information just to use the application. The layout of the training was also neat and concise, some of the other training sessions for other companies I've done in the past were confusing and not well thought out, this one is much more superior

In NinjaOne, The ticketing system may benefit from additional features like the option to use a custom domain for the support email address, as it is currently rather basic. Additionally, it has issues with correctly displaying photos, either not showing up at all or removing them from emails that are received. Similarly, attachments have the ability to filter what passes through; some attachment objects, like eml files, are dropped. On the other hand, GoTo Resolve offers seamless Ticketing System.

VNC is light and sleek with the quick setup, was impressed with the quick setup despite poor Internet connection outdoor. TeamViewer is good, but the pricing is not as good as VNC. Both do the basic job, but VNC still outperform TeamViewer in terms of performance and ease of use.

Return on Investment
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • We managed to work in a way that was impossible before these kinds of tools were offered in the market
  • The program is constantly evolving to try to fix bugs and that can affect the day-to-day use.
  • If We find a way to use fewer programs for different tasks would be great and this tool may have the solution in the future

  • I have just used the software for about 1 month and so far so god. I am saving time whenever I can access my client's computers from my desk as opposed to having to leave my office to go to their offices. Saves me time and the client money.
