Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 2, 2025

LogMeIn Central and Atera compete in the remote management software market. Atera holds an advantage due to its comprehensive feature set and ease of use.

Features: LogMeIn Central provides advanced remote management, endpoint security, and a scalable infrastructure. Atera includes all-in-one remote monitoring and management, professional services automation, and billing tools. Atera's integration with third-party applications is highly valued by businesses.

Room for Improvement: LogMeIn Central could improve its complex deployment process and enhance customer service responsiveness. It may also benefit from improving accessibility features and simpler integration with external services. Atera could improve by expanding automation capabilities, offering more customization options, and enhancing its reporting features to provide deeper insights.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Atera offers seamless cloud-based deployment with straightforward onboarding and efficient customer support. LogMeIn Central has a more complex deployment process and offers less immediate customer service responsiveness, which can impact user satisfaction.

Pricing and ROI: LogMeIn Central has a higher setup cost, providing extensive functionality for larger enterprises. Atera offers a cost-effective, predictable pricing structure that delivers considerable ROI for small to medium-sized businesses, with a flexible pricing model that supports long-term value without a significant initial investment.

Quick setup and efficient automation boost IT consulting services

It would be beneficial if Atera implemented telephone support for general questions. When onboarding new clients and creating their portal, it would be helpful if presidents or company owners could see the current configuration progress step-by-step, rather than relying solely on email and ticket systems. The task system for technicians could be improved by adding recurring task capabilities. This would allow technicians to have checkmarks and task lists they can mark off as completed. While scalability meets growing needs, there haven't been many additions in the last two years. They are adding new features gradually, but there is always room for improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Measuring the integration is very helpful when using Atera Assist Test. It takes the solution to the next level by automating activities. It doesn't just provide the solution but also allows running scripts to fix issues before a technician has to work on them."

"Atera has helped me to provide more accurate solutions based on a given problem. For example, we base our solutions on event scenarios, like the alerts. We identify that there's a series of problems occurring in a particular area from the information provided by the alerts."

"I really like the Shared Script Library and automation tasks which they have implemented... because all the Atera users in the community can share their scripts and their automation tasks knowledge. The same goes for the Shared SNMP Template Library."

"It is reliable, and when it is working, it works without issues."

"All of the features of Atera are valuable because they allow the customers to achieve their goals. It is easy to use, has good collaboration, and has zero maintenance."

"I would say it's the number one tool for all ITMS."

"Atera saves money. A trip to the customer costs between $20 to $30. Then, you need to charge the customer $20 to $30 for the travel. However, if you are doing this work remotely, then you are not driving. This makes the process easier and saves money for you and the customer. For example, if it is just one machine, then the savings comes out to $50 to $60. If we are talking about a huge client, who has hundreds of machines and is changing their infrastructure, that is a lot of money."

"I have better access when I go to look for something regarding either a specific user or software. It is easier to locate. When I am troubleshooting with my clients on the phone, I am not fiddling around looking through a bunch of ticket notes trying to locate something. It makes me a lot more efficient."

More Atera pros

"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."

"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."

"The alerts are helpful."

"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."

"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."

"Unattended remote assistance."

More LogMeIn Central pros

Cons

"The chat solutions need improvement because we first need to connect to the customer. This needs to improve so that there is a particular feature that can provide support to customers even if they are not connected to a computer."

"The billing module has a standard layout which is too limited for my needs."

"Atera could be improved by adding more granular control over technician roles. We need more specific controls on what technicians can access, like limiting their ability to view certain sections or access devices and share files. This feature request has already been made. The IP asset management capabilities need improvement to better manage assets beyond just devices."

"The solution is scalable. However, in the past, we did have some issues."

"The one thing that could do with improvement is the reporting. This is from someone who worked in an MSP, where I would want to run a report and be able to just present that to a client."

"It should improve its processes."

"I also use Apple Zoho, which does not require you to download anything. You can get help from Zoho. Atera, on the other hand, requires you to download an applet."

"Customization could be improved."

More Atera cons

"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."

"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."

"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Atera's pricing stays fixed and predictable, enabling us to add more customers and unlimited monitored devices. We still have a number of clients who fit a break/fix IT model. This is something where clients are complaining more about having to pay extra month-by-month for technology services. With Atera's model, we don't have to be going out and asking for more from clients each month. Right now, with where we are at in terms of scale, this is very important to us."

"In terms of cost, it's not very expensive. I’d rate it around three or four out of ten, considering its value for money."

"We pay per user. I am the only user. It is $150 per user. If I need to add one, it is not as costly as expanding with other providers."

"The price is reasonable for what we require."

"With Atera, the more you add, the cheaper the cost of the additional endpoints will be."

"The value of the product is perfect, neither cheap nor expensive. I think it is the right rate. It would be awesome if it continued to be the same price because it is a great solution that I like. I like it because I'm not paying per device. I have some customers on monthly contracts and some of them are on break'n fix. If I have a client who is on break'n fix, and they need to pay per agent, then I am losing money. If they were ever to change structures, going to pay-per-device model, then I would need to think about changing to something else."

"Pricing is my favorite part of it. It was per user, not per client."

"Atera happened to have the best pricing model."

More Atera pricing and cost advice

"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."

"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."

"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."

"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."

"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."

"It really is an expensive product for me."

"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. "

"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
