Andrew,

Thanks for the follow-up to user comments/questions. Any response to the privacy policy of Mikogo since everything is flowing through your servers?

A similar type of remote pc access software that also is great for troubleshooting can be found at http://www.proxy networks.com

The guys at Proxy Networks have a terrific support team that can even help technical buffoons like me. Watch out though, this is a business oriented program. I know about it because my company uses it. They have a 30 day free trial, but then you’ll have to pay. Take a look if you are in the need for technical support for stuff like this.

Thanks for showing me this software. I really like this software because it is very similar to WebEx and performs all communications over standard HTTP and requires no additional configuration. I’ve been looking seemingly for ever to find a tool just like this and am very thankfull for your review.

One question I have though is, How long will this be free? I hope it is not one of those, plant the seed and then charge when there is a large enough user base.

If so, then I suppose there will be another freebie out there to take its place.

Thanks again…

Tom

[...] Mikogo: this free screen sharing/remote computer access keeps getting better and better. Since my review they have made significant improvements on performance (smoother, faster screen sharing), added a video recording and playback feature, added the option for integration with Skype, and more recently allowed for cross-platform screen sharing with the release of their Mac client.

Hey Rob,
When you have a moment, you might enjoy checking out the Mikogo Skype Extra which you can find at https://extras.skype.com/1672/view
Also there is a Firefox Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6779

Please feel free to check these add-ons and let me know what you think.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Nice review Samer! Andrew from Mikogo approached me for a review as well, and mentioned that you had taken a look at it here.

I agree with your review, but I think that the lack of IM or teleconferencing could hurt the product. What could be nice, however, is the ability to include add-ons for Skype, Messenger, AIM, or whatever you wanted…

CrossLoop ( http://www.crossloop.com ) is also a good utility to take over another screen. But this utility is focused on helping people with their computer problems.

Thanks 4CR for the comments. Appreciate it.

I hope that when you do use Mikogo you’ll be sure to let me know about it.

Hi Andrew.

Thanks by the answer. Know that the attention been suitable to me by his answer, even not being on his product, contributed very much to the image that here you represent. The attention for with the user of his tools is of fudamental importance for the correct use of same, guaranteeing full satisfaction of the user, serving also like return of informations for improvement of the product and adaptation of the same to the market.

Also know that the video-tutorial was very useful to clarify the use of the software, I believe that avoiding including what someone do the download of the software and discover after this one does not devote himself to the use that he wants, and sometimes spreading bad impressions on the software not for his quality, but for a mistake of choice.

The use of the software was still not necessary for me, I wait for them to myself what when it needs this one carries out the function. Certainly I will remember the product and will recommend the same thing for the one who needs such a type of tool.

Keep on giving this good service of contact with the client and it will have the best return.

Best Regards

*Thanks to the Samer for the informations on new products / services and space for the contact with the readers.

Hi everyone,
I’m one of the team members behind Mikogo and I just wanted to say Hi and that its great to hear you’re all enjoying free online meetings.
4CR – you asked about the tutorial video…. We used TechSmith Camtasia Studio. Simple interface, easy to use. However, it is not free.
I’ve been in contact with Samer, and I will contact him personally as further Mikogo developments take place.
Other than that, I hope you all continue to enjoy Mikogo.

Regards,
Andrew

@ Nathan,
I tested TeamViewer a long time ago, and I remember that it wasn’t 100% free. At first I was really excited about it, but then, after connecting for a certain period, it disconnected and refused to reconnect until a certain time had lapsed as a way to incentivize buying the paid version — which is why I never reviewed it.

Check out this software as an alternative; I have used it in the past and like the functions and interface.

@anonymous,
You’re right, except Mikogo and VNC/UltraVNC are aimed towards a different target audience, and they do slightly different things.

With Mikogo, you’re up and running in 3 minutes, across company firewalls, without needing to mess with IP addresses, ports, or routers. You can be giving a presentation to 6 different people without having any one of those people opening ports, configuring firewalls, etc. Your audience can be non-techies and they can share your screen quickly and without hassle.

However, if you are tech savvy and, say, want to connect your work and home computers, I agree the above options are far better.

VNC, tightvnc, ultravnc do the same or more without needing accounts, logins, foreign servers,..
