If you are referring to random clients as in the Crossloop market place (where visitors search for techs and select one to help), its an absolute fail. In the past year I have had one request...from a guy who only spoke spanish...didn't go very well
As far as in my personal clients, at first I thought it would be great, but I was wrong. The sessions drop all the time, the program locks, and the client gets frustrated. I ended up customizing a SingleClick and use that for all remote purposes.
Anybody have any opinions of Teamviewer?
I've had almost the same experience with crossloop. UVNC SingleClick or LogMeInRescue works for me the best.
is UVNC SingleClick easy to set up and where does the customer go to download the file to run SIngleClick on there computer.
Its actually really easy to configure. What I like about it most is you can customize the GUI to your liking. For example you can change all the text in the program and the main logo to your companies logo.
Basically you goto the website and download the package. You change the images, text, and IP configuration (simply put in the IP address you want the program to point to) and upload the new package back to the site. It then gives you an .exe to download. You can put this .exe anywhere for download, such as on your companies website.
So in the end, your client calls for support, you direct them to the download (such as www.yourcompany.com/remotesupport.exe) and they launch the file...that's it. No work for them to do, nothing to install, and you don't have to worry about port forwarding and all that good stuff.

quick question about the ip address in single click do i have to keep the 5500 at the end of the ip address

Sorry for the confusion, I just checked my config and it is port 5500, not 5800 (I will edit that). In regards to your question, yes you include the port number at the end of your IP. Below is a snip of my config file.
Just used the *'s to block out some of the numbers, but you get the point. The first host is a normal connection, the second one is for using the encrypted connection.
