GoTo Resolve

Romote access software by GoTo

Pros:

GoTo Resolve the work software that we rely most heavily upon. Naturally, we employ it to provide on-demand customer support. However, we also rely on it to remotely access a computer or a server when it has to be used without surveillance.

Cons:

Updating or uninstalling the previous version using the Control Panel is required before re-establishing a remote connection to a previously linked device. Recently, this issue has become increasingly challenging, and after months of attempting to rectify it, we've decided to look into other remote support software.

Decent product, lots of bugs, support non-existent

Comments: It's been messy, this is the 3rd time we have tried GoTo Resolve. First time failed, support couldn't get us past step 1 on ticket system, so we canceled. Second time was a free trial that went south. This is the third try and we paid for it in March and still don't have it up and running yet. Takes way too long to setup, you're on your own as support is useless, so it's better than GoTo Assist, but not as good as others like Ninja but it's way cheaper than some others so you get what you pay for.

Pros:

I like what was described to us as a selling point, ticket system, integrated with Teams, inventory management, ease of use, etc.

Cons:

It's a task getting it implemented, we have a free trial account that cannot be deleted so we cannot contact support and open a ticket as it wants us to pay even though we have paid several thousand dollars up front for the year. It's not easy to configure, the ticket system is iffy at best and they don't even know how to help you configure it themselves.

Not Great. Bad Sessions - Where I Coudn't Even Remote Into End-User's System

Comments: It's iffy... Sometimes it's worked, but then other times, I couldn't even log in because the end-user was asked to enter credentials in order for it to even install on their system. They get confused, and I get frustrated. Especially when they're asked to enter ADMIN credentials. That is a BIG No-No. Thus, I couldn't help them. Bad experience, sour taste.........

Pros:

Didn't have to pay for it, the company is paying for the licensing.

Cons:

Not being able to remote into an end-user's system while they were having a problem.

GoToResolve will give your team the leverage and flexibility all IT teams need

Comments: I am very pleased with the product, and hope to continue using it. My team has adapted to its capabilities, and many of us feel its the right tool for us to have. This day and age, a secure remote software is a necessity for any growing IT team.

Pros:

I first came across this product when we were shopping for a more secure and budget friendly solution, in order to provide remote tech support for our student body and employees. GoToResolve has been a phenomenal tool and our technicians say its very user friendly and fluid.

Cons:

One thing that I did not like, is its ticket system. I manage our current platform (Freshdesk) and have been looking for alternatives. I really hoped GoToResolve would fit all of our needs, because I would love an "All in one" solution. Perhaps in the future they may bring a more robust ticket system.

Migration from GoToAssist

Pros:

The file transfer option is a bit more intuitive than GoToAssist (GTA), and the amount of information presented about the remote system is quite helpful. With the new Patch Management screen we can see what remote systems require updates easily (though we don't install them via GoToResolve).

Cons:

Certain areas of the system do not work consistently, such as Alt-TAB, when connected remotely. Several features which were in GTA are not present within the product, such as Group Name in reporting download, ability to install during an Attended Session, option to remotely power on a PC (though this was intermittent with GTA). We have also found that the product is not as stable as GTA and often times out a session or fails to connect, for no reason. The process for a user to download and install an Attended Session is not as intuitive and simple as GTA. The inability to allow multiple support staff to join the same Unattended Session.
