GoToAssist Express Video Review HD


Recommended Posts

I heard Leo Talk about GoToAssist Express as an advertiser on his security now podcast last week. So I signed up for a free 30 day trial. I was so impressed with it I thought I would do a video review for everyone here on neowin. The video is HD so if you have the bandwidth when you are watching it click the "HD" Button then click full screen.

Just to give you guys an update. After the review and my 30 day free trial ran out, I bought it on a month per month basis for about 2 months. Then I paid for 1 entire year which is a pretty good discount. I can say i've been using it now for the past 7 months and I am in love with this program. It makes my life as a computer repair tech so easy. It saves me travel and allows me to help people in some cases immediately. Plus those same people save travel costs. I'll be renewing it for another year when it comes due.

I'm very interested in using something like this for helping my friends and family. The advantages over my free service (LogMeIn) are oustanding, but what can I expect, it's free.

Thanks for the review.

Me too, but I'd only use the free trial. The monthly plan is $69.00/month which comes to $828/year. They offer an annual plan for $660/year which is still expensive.

Anyway, thank for the review warwagon. It seems like a great tool to use when you're fixing someone's computer from afar.

Yikes! I had no clue it was that expensive. I'll definitely be sticking with LogMeIn for now. It was still nice to see how the other easy the other side of computer fixing could be though.

It sucks. As warwagon said, this is good for people that are in the business of helping other people with computer-related issues.

No offense dude, but you could save some money and just use Teamviewer 5.0. It is 100% free and does just about everything that does and more and it doesn't cost you a dime.

Yep I agree. That is what I use to use. Problem with that is after you've done so many differnet support session it starts to get suspicious. When you connect to a client it says something about how it thinks you are using it for comerial use. It then disconnects you every few mins from the support session. Then you have to wait 1 or 3 mins can't remember which before you can reconnect.

I see...Never noticed that. I guess maybe because I hardly use it. Interesting.

LOL

So much for "Free Use" !

Yep, the only "Free' method is a combination of Hamachi + VNC. Even that probably isn't legal using it in the setting i'm in. Though that is what I used for about a year. It didn't work so bad if I would install and setup it up while at their house for future use. What was a real bitch was configuring it while at my house. Sometimes I would have them install teamviewer so I could connect with them just long enough to get hamachi and vnc configured. Then I would reconnect to them through that. It was a pain in the ass. Gotoassist Express in that regard has been a breath of fresh air. You point them to www.fastsupport.com have them enter their name and a one time support key (or you can email it to them). After about 1 min are you are connect to them. What's also really nice is that you can configure it to stay installed on their system when you disconnect from the session. So next time you say "Hey, can you double click on the gotoassist icon on the desktop. They do, you give them the new key and now within 10 seconds you are connected to them.

I pay $55 per month (if I pay for the whole year). Last month I made $509 doing remote assistance using GotoAssist Express. So it pays for itself.

Yeah that is not bad if you are making $$$ out of it. Me, I use it maybe once or twice every 3 months...LOL...So gotoassist would be a waste for me, but it does look like a great product.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
