    Phone.com is a no-brainer. The cost savings over a POTS or in-house PBX system are tremendous. The affordability added on top of the easy to use and deploy features make Phone.com the best choice. Phone.com is well-suited for situations where you need other-than-standard call holding, call routing, and other similar advanced call features.

    If you need unattended remote access, you will need one of the paid plans, so for a quick always on remote support option, [ShowMyPC] may not be the best suited. If security is an issue and your client's compliance rules won't allow always on remote access, then ShowMyPC is probably the best on-[the]-fly remote access on the market. On demand access is always free and can be done via browser or via a very small client download.

    Cons
    Phone.com
    • Phone.com has been excellent with support and I can not think of any areas for improvement with regards to that
    • Phone.com could provide more graphical assistance when programming call routing. A visual indication of the flow of a call should be presented and would come in handy when planning out difficult ques/call routes

    • Free level should have automatic reconnect on reboot
    • Being a remote access only software pricing plans could be better
    • Branding should be allowed on lower plans

    ShowMyPC lags behind its competition when it comes to usability and smoothness in operations, its UI on the web is complicated and seems out of place. The high point of this product is its customer service provided through chat support for any issues which is instant. The product also lacks integration with rd party CSPs for file sharing and it does not have a MAC client which works against it.

    • The on-demand access is free - can't get a better ROI than that
    • Plans are relatively inexpensive - as long as you are not managing large amounts of devices
    • Having a go to remote access solution that enables clients to control access is priceless
