It's very easy to implement and create policies

Implementation for our first customer took about a week. The console is cloud-based, while we install agents on customer desktops and laptops, both on-premises and remote. Maintenance seems quite easy so far. I can set up alerts for anything happening in the tool, so my technical staff don't need to monitor the console constantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Even when the connection to the server is lost, the monitoring continues without interruption."

"AEM support is great for Macs."

"The tool's main valuable features are its ease of use and intuitive console. It's very easy to implement and create policies. I don't need highly technical staff to manage the tool, which is a big advantage."

"It has a single pane of glass, and it integrates well with other software."

"Automation, in terms of the standard patches and standard updates, and remote support are valuable. When it does the standard Windows and patches, it works really well. This is something they focus on. Remote support is also something they focus on quite a bit, and it works really well. Being able to get to an agent or a client computer right away is very helpful."

"I also like how Datto integrates seamlessly with the Autotask ticketing system."

"The remote tool is nice. If a user needs assistance, I don't have to tell the user to do anything. I just ask the user if I can remote in, and 30 seconds later, I have remoted in. It has been really handy."

"The alerting system helps us determine what are high level alerts, and what are alerts which can wait for a day or two. We catch RAID failures, hot servers, bad drives (or predicted failures on drives), etc."

More Datto Remote Monitoring and Management pros

"It is a scalable solution."

"Unattended remote assistance."

"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."

"I like the security aspect, that I can glance down and see quickly who's up to date on patches, and who has virus concerns."

"The initial setup was simple."

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

"The initial setup was pretty straightforward."

"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."

More LogMeIn Central pros

"The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it."

"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."

"It's a user-friendly product."

"The solution is scalable."

"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."

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

"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."

More TeamViewer pros

Cons

"The only area where I see room for improvement is the ability to delay the application of patches for a set number of days."

"Be prepared to spend a lot of time on conversions if you have a lot of clients."

"The CRM capabilities are not very good. It's clunky and could work a lot better than it does. There are no marketing add-ins, for example."

"The main challenge was implementing patch management for software that was not in the tool's standard library or catalog."

"I would like the ability to remotely manage configuration and settings on individual units. Some organizations have a certain device configuration that needs to be consistent across all computers. For example, if we have computers that cannot go to sleep or hibernate because they're being accessed remotely, we need to be able to quickly configure those computers to not hibernate. With Datto, there is no easy and/or direct way to accomplish this. I can't create a group called No Hibernate and drag all those computers to that group so that they do not go into hibernation. There is no easy way to put in a policy or a procedure like that. It's still back to going to each computer and doing it by hand, which is what I'm trying to get away from. I want to automate and simplify as much as possible. I write code and scripts to do most of my work anyways. The intention is to get away from me having to be so hands-on."

"We would like to see a little more functionality when monitoring network devices, such as switches and routers."

"My most significant criticism is Datto is a complex product that takes a while to understand, but that could be said of almost any solution at the same level. It depends on where you're starting from. You have to rework all your workflows, and it's some heavy lifting if you want to get it right."

"Sometimes we have some downtime when Datto is doing updates. Maybe it's because of the cloud service they use. I'm not sure if they're going through AWS or Azure or what. That's happened, but the outages have been few and far between."

More Datto Remote Monitoring and Management cons

"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."

"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."

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."

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

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

"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."

More LogMeIn Central cons

"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."

"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."

"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."

"The product can sometimes crash."

"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."

"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."

"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."

More TeamViewer cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It goes by how many endpoints you have. It is about $3,000 a month for us. If we can't figure it out ourselves and need additional help to set it up, we would have to pay for that."

"Regarding pricing, Kaseya sells it as part of a bundle called Kaseya 360. This package includes several tools, such as EDR, ransomware protection, and more. Considering the bundle, the price is reasonable. However, where I am in Brazil, the high dollar rate and taxes make it not cheap for mid-sized companies. Still, it's competitively priced compared to similar tools."

"AEM is a lot more scalable as you just pay per agent instead of having to purchase expensive licenses."

"It fluctuates on the number of computers you have. Depending on the number of computers you have, it can fluctuate anywhere between $5 to $10 per computer per month, which is not too bad. I am not aware of any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee. It was one flat rate per device."

"The license typically depends on the number of endpoints. On the RMM side, I think we're paying around $2,250 per endpoint. Then there is also a license per user and tech, so that comes out to about a hundred bucks per tech, give or take."

"We had to pay out some overtime for a few problematic sites. Sites on domain networks are incredibly easy to install. We learned a few tricks that streamlined the process, but in the beginning, it was a bit tedious."

"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."

"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 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."

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

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

"It really is an expensive product for me."

"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."

"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."

More LogMeIn Central pricing and cost advice

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."

"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."

"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."

"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."

"I used the free version of TeamViewer."

"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."

"We use the free version of TeamViewer."

"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
