Mikogo is an easy-to-use free screen sharing solution that provides a fast and secure solution for web conferencing, online meetings, remote support, webinars, sales calls, web presentations, and more.
With high-speed desktop sharing capabilities, Mikogo allows the presenter to share their screen (including any document or application) with their meeting participants live over the Web in real-time. Anything the presenter can see on their screen, the participants are able to view remotely on their very own screens.
There are many features included with Mikogo as a free download. Businesses benefit by upgrading to a business account with further features.
Security is of a high standard, employing an industry-leading AES encryption, along with several other security measures.
A quick and straightforward setup means that Mikogo is suitable for all users, from the average computer novice to the more advanced user.
Mikogo saves me a lot of time, especially in remote meetings.
Pros Mikogo is good software, because I used it when I first started using it. Mikogo also has very good functionality. Mikogo also has very good features. Its ability to share the screen with others during meetings is powerful up to 25 people.
With Mikogo there is no need to download or install any software. All you need is an internet connection to get the program. Mikogo is compatible not only with Windows, Linus, MacOS, but also mobile devices.
Cons Not much to say except that the customer service is not at its best and moreover, there are bugs on the guest capture. Otherwise, it's flawless.
I stopped using this product during my first year subscription for the above mentioned reasons. I was a month past the anniversary date requesting cancellation. They were very aggressive in their collection efforts and ultimately I ended paying for most of a second year. Beware agreements that auto renew and DONT accept non payment as cancellation. I was using Webex, which was overall a better product, but more expensive. After Miko I switched to Zoom, which is a MUCH better product, far easier for non members to be invited to and join screen share sessions.

Pros I was referred to this product by a colleague for collaboration on a project we were developing jointly, since he was familair and I'm a power user, it worked well for this porject
Cons Its a little klugey - scheduling tool is tedious, inviting viewers even more so. The invited end user onboarding is a bit confusing and many of my clients would struggle to join a conference.
I had been using Mikogo for several years now and most of the time it worked fine for my purposes. Specifically, I conduct remote enrollment services and need the software to run on any platform (ie. Mac & PC). I never have more than one participant besides myself in the conference. I also need to be able to transfer control of the mouse and keyboard for remote signature. I need to be able to transfer documents via secure file transfer or FTP and the software must be HIPAA compliant. Mikogo ran fairly well for me unless I had a Mac participant. In those cases, I found I was not always able to transfer mouse and keyboard control and unable to transfer documents. Recently I purchased a new laptop and when I ran the software from this PC, I could not find any documents to transfer even though they were stored locally on my PC. When I tried contacting support, I was unable to reach anyone by phone or chat and my emails went unanswered. I was given no other option than to drop my subscription and look for another service. Shame on you Mikogo, for selling a product in this country without any access to technical support.

Pros It was fairly easy to use and in up until recently had few complaints.
Cons The product gets failing grades for support when things don't work as planned!
Mikogo was my first experience with screen sharing apps and softwares. It started off good but overtime I had to move on to other services. They have a great product but not great support.

Pros I like that it's free to use. Mikogo is also very simple in outlook and functionality. I like its ability to share screen contents with others during meetings. This helps with better presentation and collaboration.
Cons Customer support of mikogo hasn't been the best for me. They seem hard to reach when you experience difficulty.
I use this for personal reasons to support friends and family who have "computer problems" without going through a complicated phone video chat.
Pros It's easy to download and set up
It's easy to to start a support session and resolve issues quickly
It is mostly intuitive to both parties
Cons Keyboard and mouse sharing should be easy to find for the "supportee" because s/he may have limited computer software knowledge (which may be limited to downloading and installing the software).
The set-up process should be made as easy as possible (perhaps use a 10-year old's mindset), which includes verbiage on the setup screens, buttons, icons, etc.
