Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
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 search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

Good remote services feature and easy to setup
With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a tier, perhaps around 20, that I would have probably purchased, and it would have been a better fit for what I needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to install, and it's robust and secure."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"If you have a small footprint in the IT department, it's a very efficient tool to give a very well-rounded perspective of remote access and security control on devices, and in an environment where it's geographically disbursed."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house, so I can catch up and get stuff done."
"I would recommend LogMeIn."
"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."
"This is a scalable solution and we use it amongst a bunch of clients; we'd use it on one computer for one person, and we would use it on 50 computers for one company."
"The setup was pretty simple."
"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."
"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."
 

Cons

"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"The price. I complain about it all the time."
"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."
"With our recent Windows 10 rollout, there was a rough patch, but that has been corrected."
"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."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"If I had to point out one thing, it would be that it is expensive."
"The only drawback with LogMeIn is that the pricing structure has been increasing so rapidly, that's a turnoff."
"The management part probably needs improving. It can get a little cluttered."
"The UI could be a little bit more robust."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."
"It used to be a lot cheaper but then the price shot up (doubled over the span of two years), but it's hard to switch, and most competing products are similarly priced anyway."
"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
"It is very good."
"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."
"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."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
"I think it's competitively priced. I haven't priced it out since we started with it, but the yearly subscription fee is worth it. It's not outrageous, and I believe that it's worth it for our company to pay the fees for the use of the product."
"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"
"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
