What is GoToMyPC
GoToMyPC is a remote desktop access product that lets users connect to and control a computer over the internet. It is typically used by individuals and small-to-mid-sized businesses for remote work, accessing office applications, and retrieving files from an unattended machine. The product focuses on persistent remote access to a specific host computer rather than ad-hoc IT support sessions. It is delivered as a cloud-managed service with host software installed on the target endpoint.
Unattended remote access
GoToMyPC is designed for always-on access to a designated host computer without requiring someone to accept a session. This fits remote work scenarios where users regularly return to the same office or home machine. The setup model is straightforward: install a host agent and authenticate to connect.
Cross-platform remote connectivity
The service supports connecting from common desktop and mobile environments to reach a remote computer. This enables access from outside the corporate network without requiring a traditional VPN for basic remote control use cases. It is suitable for users who need consistent access from multiple devices.
Centralized account administration
GoToMyPC provides administrative controls for managing users and host computers under an account. This supports basic governance such as provisioning, deprovisioning, and visibility into registered hosts. It aligns with small IT teams that need lightweight management for remote access deployments.
Limited endpoint management depth
While it can manage remote-access hosts and users, it is not a full endpoint management suite for inventory, patching, software deployment, or configuration enforcement. Organizations needing broad device lifecycle management typically require a dedicated endpoint management platform. As a result, GoToMyPC often complements rather than replaces endpoint management tools.
Not an endpoint protection platform
GoToMyPC is primarily a remote access tool and does not function as a full endpoint protection product (e.g., malware detection/response, EDR telemetry, threat hunting). Security controls are oriented around access to the remote session rather than comprehensive device protection. Companies generally still need separate endpoint security software.
Less suited for helpdesk workflows
The product is optimized for persistent access to a user’s own machine, not for high-volume, technician-led support across many customer endpoints. Use cases like queue-based support, session routing, and advanced technician tooling are typically stronger in products built specifically for remote support. This can limit fit for MSPs or large IT service desks.
