LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"Unattended remote assistance."

"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."

"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"

"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."

"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."

"​It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"User interface."

"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."

"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."

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

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."

"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."

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

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."

"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."

"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."

"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."

"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."

"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."

"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."

"​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.​"

"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."

"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."

"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."

"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."

"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."

"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."

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

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."

"The price point has gone up significantly. We used to have a lot of other customers. I used to sell it to other customer sites. But they've moved to TeamViewer, SiteSecure, and several others. There are four or five others that they went to because they're being more competitive on their pricing."

"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."

"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. Last year I called and complained, they gave me a deal. This year, it's gone up to $350. I'm looking for a new source. It seems to be getting expensive for me to look back and forth. Come up with a different level of service for just communicating with two computers; I use it, maybe, five minutes a day."

"The company does not scale the price based upon use."

"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."

"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."

"I think it's competitively priced. I haven't priced it out since we started with it, but the yearly subscription fee is worth it. It's not outrageous, and I believe that it's worth it for our company to pay the fees for the use 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."
