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

No issues with scalability. It is a fairly simple model. If I wanted to add five more, I would just buy five more people and licenses, apply the program to their computers, and give them their login.

​Our favorite feature is being able to diagnose customers' problems by seeing them on the screen, rather than just over the phone.

With the product, I have never had an issue with it. I have never had to look up anything or call anyone.

The multiple connect methods really help with users who are not tech savvy or knowledgeable about their own computers.

I have technicians all over, and not everybody is an expert in all areas. They are able to bring other expertise from different locations with the click of a mouse. They can invite in other technicians, so I can have most of the technicians collaborate on the same question, and that’s really amazing.

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.

I wish this product was tied to a Help Desk package so I could manage tickets and have an infrastructure, with this being the primary tool to troubleshoot.

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.

I would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use.

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

​The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure.

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 It looks a little outdated.​ I think the options are there.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

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

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.
