Good except Pricing
Pros
Worked well, secure, good tech support just got too expensive
Cons
They raised their prices almost triple!!! From about $500/year for 4 employees to over $1500. Ridiculous.

I tried GoToMyPC and I thought it worked fine. But, I found a FREE option with Google Chrome Desktop Remote which works just as well for most functions so I'm using that solution now.
Pros
GoToMyPC works well, it's secure and allows the user to do most of what they would do if they were actually in front of the computer with which they are connected.
Cons
GoToMyPC is very expensive and way over priced.

GoToMyPC allowed me to access my main office computer anywhere remotely which is a big help when needing to obtain information and I am unable to go into my office.
Pros
This software was easy to use. I was able to log into my main office computer with ease and it did not have any connection issues.
Cons
What I liked least about the software was the pricing as when I started to shop around I realized there were other more affordable options available.

Wonderful! Once my desktop app didn't work and I had to call for assistance, which I got promptly and it solved the problem. Again, I can't say enough about GoToMyPC!
Pros
I can't say enough good things about GoToMyPC. I live in the country and when snows it is difficult for me to safely get to work, and GoToMyPC enables me to work from home. It is like I am sitting at my desk! I can use absolutely everything, and can even send stuff to print and have it print out in my office. This software makes my life so much easier. I also use it occasionally when my boss needs something after hours. I have recommended this to several people actually.
Cons
I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this product. It could be a little cheaper but honestly, it does so much I can't complain.

Overall this software was better than some others I had tried but not quite what we needed.
Pros
At the first trial of this product, it wasn't horrible. however, the price for what we needed did not fit our budget.
Cons
The price was higher than what we wanted to pay for how often we would use this software. So we went another direction.

It was a good product but they raised the prices 500% and then offer you a deal to pay half, which is still 200% more then what you were originally paying.
Pros
Simple setup. Simple to run. Multiple computer access.
Cons
I really never had any issues with software itself but the price increase makes the product not worth it.

I've used it for a while until I came across with TeamViewer and decided to switch. Overall Gotomypc is definitely a robust remote connectivity solution, but the pricing and the outdated UI makes it not the first choice for many people.
Pros
1. It delivers on what it promises - you can log in to a remote computer and work on it with minimal lag.
2. The connection is usually very stable and once you get familiar with the SW, it becomes a second nature to use.
3. It's one of the industry veterans, so the solution is pretty robust and reliable.
Cons
1. Feels so 1990... Everything looks and feels a little old-school, starting from their website and to the actual software UI. Some would not be bothered by graphics, though.
2. Pricing is not intended for personal use - if you just want to help out your parents, use TeamViewer. This is clearly targeted at enterprise with deep pockets.
3. Not as versatile as TeamViewer, lacks features like having one-time passwords for quick one-off remote sessions.

It does what it needs to and has some great features (files transfers, as an example), but given the pricing and the alternatives that are out there, I'd love to see some of the challenges get tackled down the road (primarily in the realm of latency and RAM usage).
Pros
Once installed, it's a turn key solution to allow for remote desktop access. We used these on windows machines and it made it quite easy to access from wherever we were.
Cons
I found that there was a lot of latency at times and there was quite often a need to restart the session as the keyboard would go unresponsive.

Pros
- its quite easy to use
- some improvements last year
Cons
- very bad responsivness for unknown reasons
- no support. some low-level-help is available but useless
- sometimes bugs and crashes
- not working "functionalities"

My experience with GoToMyPC wasn't a bad one, it just became an expensive one. I still think it's a good product and company.
Pros
GoToMyPC was actually pretty simple to set up and it was great being able to access all programs, files, photos, etc. on my office computer, from anywhere I had good signal for wireless cellular and/or Wi-Fi.
Cons
I loved GoToMyPC for the first year or two. But then they started getting more expensive and we opened a new office in another town, so we were required to buy another license to connect to that office computer. So, I started looking for an alternative.

Pros
remote access is easy. facilitates business when travelling
Cons
on the website "personal" pricing is listed at $44/month for "one user with one or more computers to access"
when i recently added a second computer to my single user account i was billed 44 * 2 = 88 which is not what the website says
a simple change on the website to $44/month/per computer would have been clearer

Allows one proprietary program to be used on multiple computers.
Pros
As I have a full time estimator utilizing my software on my server on a regular basis and he does not live in the same State, this remote connectivity allows him to run a proprietary program from my server on his computer.
Cons
Cost has gone up recently and if there are connectivity issues on either end it can be slow and jumpy.
