Overall Satisfaction with Mikogo
We used Mikogo to support customers by viewing and controlling their remote desktops. We used the drawing and chat features as well, which appeared to work well. This was used by both of our ERP consultants who worked daily with customers and often online and in session with the customer and sometimes an additional attendee.
- Inexpensive
- Simple interface
- Menus and prompts were clear
- Slow (download and screen refreshes)
- Doesn't work at numerous customer sites
- Awkward interface, making it difficult to get online with customers
- Zero positive impact
- Spend just a little more with products like AnyDesk and get some real ROI
- Short term, the product can be used on a trial basis (or at least it was available as a trial)
At first it worked fairly well and the price was very inexpensive. The first task when connecting to a customer was to have them download the client. Oftentimes this task took two to five minutes and was inconsistent even for clients with high-speed internet access (over 100mb). I've used numerous other tools similar to Mikogo and none of them had these delays. Also, Mikogo occasionally had issues with firewalls and, while that might be expected in such a tool, it was too often to be useful. Honestly the only advantage was price and that was short lived, as the costs of using the tool (business-wise) stacked up.
