Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

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

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

"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."

"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."

"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."

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

More LogMeIn Central pros

"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."

"The desktop sharing allows our clients to demonstrate the issue they are having, and then allows us to provide remediation directly."

"I tried different software out there and LogMeIn Rescue has the best compatibility. Something else might work, but you have conflict with so many networks. LogMeIn has the best ratio of almost 99% connection. Whereas, with some other software, you are lucky if you get 80%."

"LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions."

"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."

"Being able to reboot computers into safe mode, when needed. That has come in handy in regards to IT troubleshooting."

"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."

"Instead of trying to walk-through a user on how to fix their computer, we just log in, do it, and move on to the next case."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"I do not like the antivirus."

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

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

"Do not use the technical support."

More LogMeIn Central cons

"They need to improve their technical support."

"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."

"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"

"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."

"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."

"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, it's always a problem."

"The interface is not user-friendly. It looks a little outdated. I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement."

"Support to remotely control more mobile devices' screens is desperately needed. It is sad to see how long this product has been out and how many phones are still not supported for, specifically, remote screen control."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."

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

"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."

"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 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. "

"It really is an expensive product for me."

More LogMeIn Central pricing and cost advice

"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."

"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."

"The cost of LogMeIn is high... I went with another product that was going to give me savings of 50%. One technician tested it, he gave us the thumbs up. Then once we moved all my technicians to it, but it didn’t work... Trying to move from LogMeIn hindered our performance and productivity and it was not worth the savings."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though."

"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."

"The pricing is worth the value."

"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."
