ShowMyPC vs TeamViewer Meeting (formerly Blizz)

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Blizz is great for any kind of video conferencing call, it brings a lot to the table and manages to execute its service very well. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an affordable and solid video conferencing experience. In my opinion, it would suit both medium and small teams the most.

Very effective linking of different devices. Easy to join from anywhere/any device by just entering the meeting ID.
Minimal, intuitive interface that takes very little getting used to. I skipped the help section and still figured everything out within a couple of minutes.
Pairs with Outlook so you can view all your existing contacts from within Blizz. Really saves time and stops anyone being missed out.
Can support up to 300 participants.
Reasonable pricing structure. Free for personal use and still good value for the higher-level packages. You can also add local numbers for free.
Live text chat for use during a meeting if you have something to say but don’t want to interrupt the presenter.
A secured connection so there are no issues sending sensitive documents etc.
The audio and video quality has always been excellent (although I’ve come to expect this from any conferencing software nowadays).

Cons

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

You can sense that the product is still in development/introduction stages, but has the potential of getting bigger
Some UI improvements are necessary
Not a lot of public awareness

The last time I had interaction with Blizz by TeamViewer support was directly on their website in the Help option, I sent them a written message, and in a few minutes, they had already answered me.I think the technical service is efficient.

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.

I’ve previously used household names like Zoom and Skype for my video conference calls, but neither provides as much as Blizz in terms of scheduling features.And to be honest, Blizz’s user interface and connectivity are as good if not better than those platforms, despite its relative newness.

Return on Investment

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

Blizz ensures that my service quality rating is not compromised due to bad connectivity. Return on investment is 100%.
Blizz has a modern and simple design. This makes it easy for the user to get started as there is no learning curve.
Remote screen share is slick and the Blizz controls on-screen take up minimal space, taking nothing away from the user experience.
