ShowMyPC - the perfect free option for on-demand remote access
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
ShowMyPC is my company's go to resource for remote access for clients that opt out of the paid services like TeamViewer and LogMeIn. The platform is secure and stable and it affords a relatively easy way for me to gain remote access to a client's device. It also allows the client to control the access rather than always on which fits the security requirements f certain industries like lawyers and doctors.
Pros
- On demand remote access
- Remote view right in the browser
- Remote meetings
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
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.
