Overall Satisfaction with GoToAssist
GoToAssist allows me to access my customers computers securely to support them. They may need to know how to set up or use a Sage 50 software feature which I can show them remotely and they can get the job done immediately. They may also need me to troubleshoot for problems they may be experiencing with their Sage 50 or other software.
- Quick access to customer computers via email links or giving them the access code over the phone.
- Notes area where I can record the details of the remote session.
- Reporting - I can retrieve a monthly report of all my remote sessions (including notes) which helps me monitor usage, provides billing information and allows me to save a copy of the report locally.
- Perhaps some pop up notices on screen when waiting for a reboot to finish and reconnect.
- I would like to know how to handle screen sharing when I want to share my screen, I haven't taken the time to explore for instructions.
- I would like to know how to use the drawing tools, I haven't taken the time to explore for instructions.
- Positive impact - I am able to help customers without leaving my office, so no lost time for travel and can get back to other jobs - a huge boost in productivity and customer service.
- Less disruption in customer's office as well.
- LogMeIn Pro,GoToMy PC,TeamViewer
I use only paid subscriptions.
I like GoToAssist for customer support/training/troubleshooting - it is quick to connect / disconnect. It is easy for customers and they appreciate the security of knowing that there is no outside access after we disconnect - win/win.
I also use LogMeIn Pro for customers where I need direct access anytime and need the ability to print because GTA does not have any print functionality.

- It is mostly very easy.
- There are a lot of updates - they can be difficult for the customer to navigate to get them installed and I cannot see their screen to help them. In some cases the customer cannot get it working at all after an update - most frustrating on both sides.
Yes, but I don't use it
