Hi Kirk, I regularly use GoToAssist and TeamViewer for remote desktop support. I only use the TeamViewer (free version) for certain clients who either already have it installed, or where GTA fails or is blocked. I was looking at switching the company entirely to TV since it works really well, and I thought I could avoid the recurring subscription fees for GTA...then I discovered that TV's 'one-time fee' is only good for the current version. Prices for upgrades, released every 12-18 months keep TV in on par price-wise with GTA.

That said, I have discovered the same annoying behavior (blacked out screens for UAC prompts) Mad | :mad: in GTA. (major suckage when the end user is not paying attn./on the phone) One other rare issue with GTA is losing input control in desktop sharing...it takes the end user clicking into the GT window to make it active again.

When we first started using GTA, I was annoyed that they wanted my users to download the g2ax installer from their website, so I snagged one and hosted it on our website. The only drawback is that it always shows an error message on the client end regarding an invalid session, but at least it's predictable, and aside from the UAC thing, GTA has been quite good compared to our previous provider. (not sure what they are called these days)

TV is awesome when the other user already has it. Often, I am connected with a customer in < 10 seconds. I have not experienced any negative issues with TV. Also, I use it to remote into my office workstation from the field. It has always worked great! I must admit, they do make me feel a bit guilty with the 'Thanks for playing fair!' comment. Shucks | :-\

Gotta go! Time for a remote now! Smile | :)
