We recently had a client ask about the difference between MyRemoteConnection and GoToMyPC.
Simply put, the major difference is the focus:
MyRemoteConnection connects users to the Network and their PC's.
GoToMyPC connects users to their PC's.
What that means to you is that, with MyRemoteConnection, each account provides access to the entire Local Area Network AND the user's PC, while the RemotePC services provide access is to your PC.
Below is a chart which shows all of the differences between MyRemoteConnection and GoToMyPC:

Overall, MyRemoteConnection provides users with
more browser options, more security options, more encryption
options, and access to more devices on the corporate network.
And, for corporate IT staff, MyRemoteConnection
provides more integration, update and policy options.
