We have used other remote software packages. The print functionality with GoToMyPC is better than any other software we have used. The problem was that the file print settings would get messed up with the remote PC login and would not resolve. With GoToMyPC we have not experienced any issues with printing document, labels, receipts. It works very well.

Really love the options I have because of GoToMyPC. Really helps me complete my day especially when I need to be home for family responsibilities.

Working from home, I am able to access the office computer at all hours. I can also work in real time with my co-workers to complete a project. We are a small office, so unless someone is using my host computer, I have full access to the files and documents on the office computer whenever I want.

I think GoToMyPC is well-suited for any scenario I have encountered, although I only have experience using it in a small firm setting. Otherwise, for working from home and traveling or file retrieval, it has proved more than adequate. I have not encountered a scenario that I thought was less than appropriate.

I set the system for maximum speed and minimum graphics. If the requirements of the job included graphics, the system would work significantly slower. I can't compare, since I have not tried any of those applications on this or any other system. The price is also much higher than the competition, but it is worth it for what I need to accomplish. The system is as quick as the computer systems that you are using. When I work remotely, it feels and acts like I am at my computer at work. I also appreciate printing from my remote location as some systems don't allow for it or the system doesn't work well. The sizing and appearance of all the applications look and work well remotely as well. The system is also very easy to access and implement so I have no hesitation in utilizing it on a daily basis.

I have a client that is not very computer literate and could not learn how to save to a flash drive from her QuickBooks. I recommended GoToMyPC so I could have access to her computer and work her accounting needs. She is very happy with this and controls her own computer. I always let her know I am about to access her computer and she turns it on or turns on the internet.

I have recommended this program to many people over the years. The biggest role it serves it to make me feel I am right at my desktop. I can even access my second screen. This is easier than transferring everything to the cloud and accessing--it saves me time and when I get back to my office I don't have to remember what I placed in a one drive or the cloud--it is right where I put it in my usual filing.

I highly recommend GoToMyPC if you need to more than a mere data access, but need to virtually be sitting in front of a remote computer. The ability for the user on the other end to watch your actions is also very helpful.

It's remote desktop software so if you need to access a desktop... remotely. There you go. I don't have much more to say on the matter.
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.

Best suited? It works fantastic no matter where you are. It's best suited anywhere. I can't think of anywhere it would be considered less appropriate. Obviously on your phone at any sort of event where you should not be on your phone in the first place. That would be wrong. But has nothing to do with the software. Proper etiquette always, obviously.

If you work away from an office computer, it's the best way to work away from it because you are actually working on it and not just files you've transfered to another machine.
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.

It is suited well for Windows machines at firms where money is no object. It is less appropriate for Macs and firms operating on a tight budget. In cases where users think they might need technical support, GoToMyPC is not recommended in my opinion.

Use for home and travel overseas is where GTMP is extremely useful to have complete access to your office files and emails alike. I can't think of any areas where it is not appropriate for use in all honesty.
