Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…
Kelsey Braun - PeerSpot reviewer
Good remote services feature and easy to setup
With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a tier, perhaps around 20, that I would have probably purchased, and it would have been a better fit for what I needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"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."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"Unattended remote assistance."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"​The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I can use it for training, which I have done. As a person sits in front of the computer they can watch what I do, or I can watch what they do."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location.​"
"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."
"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer. Going the other way, sometimes I'll go to my home computer to do adjustments to my accounting system there."
 

Cons

"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"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."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"​Everything has to be done over the web, via email, or something like that. You can't talk to a human being. That bothers me a lot.​"
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."
"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"As far as the usability of it, I'd like to see if printing could be enabled in the basic version or the medium version. Some of the remote printing isn't available unless you go to the premium versions, and that's disappointing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"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."
"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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
"My company needs to make annual payments toward the licensing cost of the product. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"To be honest with you, I use it just for login and the prices are getting too high so we're going to look for an alternative solution. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."
"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
"It's pretty fair for up to five computers I think (it might be three - it's either three or five). After that, it gets a little expensive, so if they could get a little bit more aggressive on how many computers you can add in, that would be great."
"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"
