    Pros Mikogo is well-suited and cost-effective for the small business Simple & well-designed; easy to figure out. Works best for one-on-one client support. Cons No live customer support Free version has limited features (e.g. no invite meeting allowed) Trial version only 14 days

    In situations where we didn't need to pass through local disks, we found Awingu to be a good fit. Especially the multiscreen options in an HTML5 browser are pretty unique to them. The extensive options to do MFA are also very user-friendly.

    • Being only/mainly an HTML5 solution some resources can't be passed through (file shares)
    • Publishing apps to local desktops would be nicer if there was a "add to desktop" shortcut.

    Mikogo has simple features and is easy to use. If you don't need lots of bells and whistles and just want to screen share or video conference on a small scale Mikogo works best. Join.me & TeamViewer are a bit confusing for the novice small business person. My experience with LogMeIn has been that it's sluggish. GoToMeeting works great but is pricey for the small firm that mainly does one-to-one support/training. I couldn't get Zoom to work right.

    Awingu has more features in its HTML5 offering, which is the main advantage it has. Parallels RAS also has a local application which gives it some additional features (passing through drives)

    Return on Investment
    BeamYourScreen
    • Zero positive impact
    • Spend just a little more with products like AnyDesk and get some real ROI
    • Short term, the product can be used on a trial basis (or at least it was available as a trial)

    • Users picked up the new way of using the CRM right away, no long process to migrate to the new system
    • Almost no support cases when switching to Awingu
