LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions The solution’s pricing could be improved. We are a service integrator and have been using LogMeIn Rescue for quite a while now. I rate LogMeIn Rescue ten out of ten for stability. Our customers are mostly medium and enterprise…

Integrates well with Microsoft tools and secures our devices
Microsoft Defender offers a built-in Intune dashboard that simplifies our workflow. While reviewing security information in Defender, we can easily see non-compliant devices flagged by Intune, eliminating the need to switch between applications. The Intune user experience has become significantly easier. While in the past we required detailed instructions for app installation, recent versions of the Intune app guide users through the process, eliminating the prior challenge of users struggling with installation. Intune's biggest benefit is its seamless integration with existing Microsoft products in our organization. Since we're already a Microsoft shop, Intune leverages our familiar environment for a straightforward implementation, offering centralized control for our SOC clients. We likely saw the advantages quickly, as with other Microsoft products. Microsoft Intune effectively secures our BYOD program. If we have employees who need to work from home for some time, we make sure to install Intune on their laptops first. Microsoft Intune has improved our IT team's efficiency by allowing a Bring-Your-Own-Device policy and facilitating work-from-home options.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."
"The solution has been in the market for the past 20 years. For us, it is one of the best tools."
"They've thought of everything in terms of features. It's got all the little drill-down details and capabilities to apply patches and other stuff like that. I don't use everything they offer but you can go wherever you want to take this tool. It's been around for a really long time. We try as much as possible to train our staff to take care of their own systems and train our customer staff to take care of their own systems. There's a little laser pointer feature that you can pull up on the screen and say, "No, over here, click on this." That's very educational. It's a simple thing but when you're trying to get people to take responsibility and learn to take care of their own infrastructure, being able to just point at something while you're viewing their screen, as well as, take over their screen, is very valuable."
"It allows us to rapidly solve issues for our customers on a remote basis, regardless of the location of the customer."
"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."
"The tech support person I spoke to was very knowledgeable about the product, and was straightforward with me about its capabilities. There was no fluff about the product. They basically said this is not available now and we're hoping to have it available in the third or fourth quarter. It was nice to talk to someone who was straightforward and knew about the product."
"The multiple connect methods really help with users who are not tech savvy or knowledgeable about their own computers."
"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."
"One of the standout features of Intune is its seamless accessibility to work data, eliminating the need to be tied to an office or a desktop."
"It has a useful device management feature."
"For our office workers who are not based in Norway, when we order the PC, we can do some of the settings for them. These are standardized settings. We can set them up exactly as they are in Norway so that they're the same."
"The aspects I find most valuable are the managing the data and applications. I can also restrict the users to install any applications. I can also wipe the data if the phone was missplaced or stolen. These are the basics for me."
"It's easy to manage and easy to configure."
"It is a very helpful solution."
"The most valuable feature for us is the security, including risk analysis and patch management."
"The conditional access policies that we set up are very useful."
 

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."
"​The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."
"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."
"​The interface is not ​user-friendly. It looks a little outdated.​ I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement.​"
"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Integration with Mac devices requires some improvement."
"The security features should be improved."
"They should make it easier to order it, however, that's generally true for everything from Microsoft."
"I would like to see the ability to deploy custom packages as a Windows 64-bit package, as opposed to the Windows 32-bit, which is the only one available now."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"Intune's reporting and logging could be improved. When troubleshooting, it's difficult to collect the logs and determine what's happening. If I want to filter out the compliant devices, I can see it from the logs, but I would like the option to drill down further."
"It would be beneficial to have a more straightforward understanding of Intune's capabilities, presented in a simplified manner."
"The reporting needs to be a bit more interactive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​The rescue model is licensed by user."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."
"Look at the different plans they have. Do not pay for a plan you do not need.​"
"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.​"
"The pricing is worth the value."
"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."
"The pricing is a little on the higher side, though.​"
"The pricing of Endpoint Manager is fine. The licensing is not that complex, but small and midsized organizations might have challenges with the pricing plans. There are a lot of categories—E2, E3, E5—to choose from."
"No one can compete with Microsoft when it comes to price, and the features it is offering."
"Microsoft Intune is a cost effective choice. It is less expensive than other products on the market."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"Intune's pricing is competitive. For example, the license of Blackberry's Enterprise Mobility Suite was costly, but Intune is affordable. It is included as an additional feature when you buy security enhancements for your organization. For example, let's say I have fifty users in my organization and all of them are using Microsoft cloud services, like Teams, Office 365, and OneDrive."
"For organizations that are a Microsoft shop, the pricing is compelling."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"Intune is cost-effective as it is included in some of the Office 365 packages."
