Steve,
I switched from GoToMyPC (price doubled after the company was sold) to Splashtop for remote access to my office computers and I couldn't be happier.
I haven't used their remote support tools as I'm still using GoToAssist, but if the cost of my license for this jumps as well I'll be looking.
Are you using the Splashtop SOS tools? Do you have a lot of unattended computers setup?
Thanks!
PS: For emergencies there is always AnyDesk.com

Hi Mike,
Same problems with TeamViewer at my side. Nozt only got it very expensive, the product grew to a moloch with lots of useless features (at least for me).
I'm now using www.AnyDesk.com, which is much less expensive, less cluttered and just works.
wOOdy

I bought a TeamViewer (TV) license a few years back and it's the purchased one-and-done lifetime license. TeamViewer's business model has changed and they've been pushing annual licenses now for over a year. I like my TV license and it works great for me; I don't see the need to upgrade to the latest. That said, I wondered if others are using another tool they enjoy and isn't expensive. Prior to TV, I used to use LogMeIn (LMI) but then their licensing prices went up too.
What's your current remote support tool of choice (other than UltraVNC etc. I wasn't a fan of VNC as YES, IT WORKED, but it wasn't as easy and user-friendly as TV or LMI. My clients on the other end of the support connection are NOT tech folks. I needed it to be super simple and that's what TV/LMI gave me.
