LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"The alerts are helpful."

"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."

"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"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."

"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."

"Unattended remote assistance."

"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."

"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."

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

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

"The most valuable feature is having it in a central location, all the different groups, and being able to ad-hoc or at will log on to whichever computer system I need to get to from a central spot."

"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."

"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."

"I do not like the antivirus."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"

"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."

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

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."

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

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

"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."

"​Everything has to be done over the web, via email, or something like that. You can't talk to a human being. That bothers me a lot.​"

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"The price point has gone up significantly. We used to have a lot of other customers. I used to sell it to other customer sites. But they've moved to TeamViewer, SiteSecure, and several others. There are four or five others that they went to because they're being more competitive on their pricing."

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

"It is very good."

"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."

"To be honest with you, I use it just for login and the prices are getting too high so we're going to look for an alternative solution. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."

"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."

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