Even if you are new to remote support and control, you have probably heard of LogMeIn. Have you also heard of GoTo? It is a company belonging to LogMeIn and LogMeIn have taken it on as their new name. The rebranding has given them the opportunity for products and packages to be overhauled, prices changed, and eventually everything streamlined.
While most things are in constant evolution, many people remain unsettled by change. If the package you buy is modified, the price of your favourite software increases or the way you pay for it changes, nevermind the features or service, many are likely to look at alternatives, if only for comparison.
When a company encounters changes, inside or out, and new needs such as the recent mass move to remote work, decision makers are bound to ask what to do next. So, in the same way as if your favorite place to eat out comes under new management, when your provider changes their name, and in this case their offer and prices, it could well be time to discover what else is out there.
The GoTo and LogMeIn web pages explain the change and let you skip from site to site depending on the information and products. It is clearly a work in progress. From either website, the new app and offers are accessible, as well as previous products from both brands, leaving an eclectic set of options at one’s fingertips for a time: the streamlining of products is still underway. What remains is to dig through each offering individually to gather the necessary product and pricing information by jumping back and forth between pages and sites.

If you need simplicity, the choices are to wait or to look elsewhere. For remote support and control, how about looking among available products from TSplus. TSplus Remote Support enables support teams to share and control screens and troubleshoot problems while chatting with the client if they are present, as well as among team members if the intervention requires it.

The client then clicks on it to activate the connection. This quick and easy connection via a shared link is straightforward, making the whole process simple for all involved. It also gives the option of unattended access when needed.
Finally, if the situation requires it, other agents can be invited into the exchange as guests, either for observation or to add their insight or knowledge to the process. To close the connection, all that remains is for the client to close the chat box.
