Sounds like a great tool. Will you make it for mac? There aren’t too many options for us, and the market is growing…

Hello Corey, no problem. That’s what we’re hear for at MakeUseOf! We enjoy writing reviews on wonderful software, I wish more people come to know about the great content on this site.

And thank you for developing such a useful software, as this is what many new applications lack now-a-days; usefulness.

Hi Vyacheslav (aka “Andrew”),

I think of us as colleagues, not competitors. I know it can be difficult for you to obtain publicity for your own software, but it’s unprofessional to post the same comment about your product every time Instant Housecall pops up on your Google Alerts.

Instant Housecall has always respected professionalism toward those in our industry, and we hope you will extend the same to us in the future.

Regards,
Corey.

Anthony, thank you for your contribution to this article, I appreciate it. I’ve seen this app you’ve described in action, it is a wonderful remote support app. I’m glad you’ve found a software that works for you.

Thank you for your comment Brad! Yes MUO is a great website.

With this app you wont find that “downside” as you will find that you cannot log into ones computer without their invitation or permission, as you’ve stated, I know that with other programs you can though.

Tim, you would have to make this decision yourself. You could download both applications and see which one benfits you them most speed, memory, and usage wise.

I find Techinline (ttp://www.techinline.com) to be the easiest out of all the remote access tools mentioned above. I use it regularly to support my customers and am very pleased with the performance. For one, it bypasses any installations or downloads, and what is probably most important these days, is a fraction of the cost of some of the alternatives out there, such as LogMeIn Rescue

Looks good – I might give it a try. I use LogMeIn a lot – I have it installed on my parents’ and siblings’ computers. The downside (for them) is that I could theoretically log in at any time but it is great when they need me to look at something and I want to do it late at night or another time when they can’t be available. I just tell them to leave their computer on and I’ll log in that night and fix it.

BTW – awesome web site. I found it about a month ago and have already learned tons of great tips. Thanks!
