LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"The alerts are helpful."

"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."

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

"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."

"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."

"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."

"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."

"You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business."

"User interface."

"​It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program."

"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."

"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."

"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."

"If I could give it an 11 out of 10 I would, but I definitely give it a 10. It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on. I can get in and out of the computer without anyone really even knowing that I fixed something."

"Do not use the technical support."

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"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."

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."

"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."

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

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."

"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."

"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."

"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."

"I would enhance the product, so if I had two screens in front of me, it could connect to two computers simultaneously with the program. For example, if I had a computer at location A and a computer at location B and I am sitting at location C, it might be nice for me to be able to be connected to all three of those computers and move data between those three during one session. ​"

"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."

"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."

"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 is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."

"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. ​"

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."

"It really is an expensive product for me.​"

"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."

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

"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."

"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."

"It is expensive, but in the long run we still come out ahead, because it saves us so much labor and downtime driving from one location to the other. In the end it's well worth the expense."

"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. Last year I called and complained, they gave me a deal. This year, it's gone up to $350. I'm looking for a new source. It seems to be getting expensive for me to look back and forth. Come up with a different level of service for just communicating with two computers; I use it, maybe, five minutes a day."

"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."

"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"

"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
