Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Unattended remote assistance."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"The alerts are helpful."
"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."
"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."
"If you need unattended access, then LogMeIn; I haven't found anything better."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn; I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good, and I use the two-step login system and it's great."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"Being able to reboot computers into safe mode, when needed. That has come in handy in regards to IT troubleshooting."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for people to use LogMeIn's app that we install with our software, to bring us online with one click, so we can view their computer screens. It's easy and a lot of folks like it."
"With the product, I have never had an issue with it. I have never had to look up anything or call anyone."
"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."
"The ability see iOS devices helps us out a lot because the majority of our users are iOS device users."
"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."
"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."
"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive as hell."
"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"While I am not in charge of the finances, I do know that the solution is expensive as hell."
"Client setup."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."
"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."
"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."
"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."
"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost.​"
"The iPhone support has been the Achilles heel for the longest time, because all of my users are on iPhones."
"As a whole, I am still a little disappointed with the mobile side of it."
"They have raised their price so high on all their products, it has left room for competitors to come in."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"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."
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"It's definitely worth the value."
"​The rescue model is licensed by user."
"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."
"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."
"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."
"It is ​on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself.​"
