Everything has worked better since we started using it

Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

Easy setup and effective support

I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance

It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication. It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good. It's got a lot of resources for users. The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboards, the security, and the customization capabilities work very well for us."

"The Autopilot feature is the most valuable because it saves significant time on managing devices. We can ship devices globally, and users can set them up on their own. It's convenient."

"The most valuable features in Microsoft Intune for me are application deployment, Defender deployment, and asset management."

"We work completely in a Microsoft environment. Its interface is similar to other Microsoft solutions that we are using such as Microsoft Defender. So far, for our administrators, it is easy to use."

"The tool's most valuable feature is Autopilot."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"The best feature is that we don't need to worry about downtime. We don't need to worry about the network connections of our office or the virtual private network. Everything is being done through the internet. Using Intune Autopilot, we can configure and deploy everything to the devices."

"This product works very well for companies already using the full Microsoft suite."

More Microsoft Intune pros

"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."

"For people whose computers we maintain, we can have those computers on file. Without having somebody to invite us, we can actually log in automatically, and that’s unlimited."

"It allows us to rapidly solve issues for our customers on a remote basis, regardless of the location of the customer."

"We are able to quickly and easily get clients connected to our triage techs which allows us to resolve issues much more quickly, and with little stress."

"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."

"Has an easy way to remote on to a remote computer without having prior access to it."

"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%."

"Ability to save a permanent remote connection, hold, and/or transfer."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

"It's a user-friendly product."

"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."

"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."

"From my perspective, the most important is the login."

"It is a scalable product."

"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."

"The TeamViewer system has some built-in security. The TeamViewer client connects to the TeamViewer host securely. Only a certain number of authorized users on our side have access to the system. Even within that, an individual endpoint can be assigned to a group, where not everybody has access but, rather, just one or two people who are part of a support team might have access to that particular device. So TeamViewer has given us tools to be able to segregate who has access to different things."

More TeamViewer pros

Cons

"Enhancements for managing MacOS more comprehensively would be beneficial."

"Data leak prevention can be integrated into it. Currently, it does not have data leak prevention."

"Deploying an app can be a complex process due to dependencies."

"For autopilot, there should be more granularity on the settings that they offer at this stage."

"A more incisive reporting tool with automated progress updates and graphical representation would be beneficial, as the current manual method lacks efficiency and visual clarity."

"I also hope the cost of Remote Help will decrease because it's a much-needed Intune function."

"The pricing can be expensive if you are not combining it with other products."

"Having a dedicated configuration server that assists in modifying the configuration service, and creating personalized structures, interfaces, and web services could enhance usability."

More Microsoft Intune cons

"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."

"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"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."

"Their ability to support mobile has been really problematic. I've seen other products that have done a better job in supporting mobile products. LogMeIn has just never been able to come up to par there, and that would be a detractor. They've been talking about supporting mobile for 10-plus years, and I really haven't seen any improvement on that."

"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."

"The billing team was poor when fixing their billing mistake and customer service was missing in action."

"They need to improve their technical support."

More LogMeIn Rescue cons

"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."

"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console. That seems to be a bit lacking in directions, if you aren't paying attention and you don't know what to do. Better documentation would make it a little bit easier to set things up in different groups and share groups between people."

"Sometimes it lags."

"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."

"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."

"The support could improve their speed."

"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."

"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."

More TeamViewer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."

"It is reasonable for the features it has."

"If you're ever going to buy an Office 365 environment, then pricing is reasonable given all that it does, but if you're not, then you might find the pricing expensive."

"Intune is available as an individual product, but it also comes with Office 365 Premium or an Enterprise license, and the price varies for each version."

"Its licensing model is not complex, but it is very expensive compared to other solutions. They can bring more models and reduce the pricing. They should allow customers to select the features they want and price it accordingly."

"The price for Intune is fair."

"While I can't provide insights from a business perspective, it's worth noting that the pricing may differ significantly, and the discount we received might not be reflective of standard business rates."

"Consider the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite rather than choosing specific sub-components, e.g. only Microsoft Intune."

More Microsoft Intune pricing and cost advice

"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need."

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

"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."

"It's definitely 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."

"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 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."

"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."

More LogMeIn Rescue pricing and cost advice

"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."

"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"I used the free version of TeamViewer."

"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."

"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."

"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
