LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

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

"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."

"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."

"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."

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

"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

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

"You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business."

"User interface."

"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."

"I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it."

"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."

"They recently included the Kaspersky Security Suite as part of their Central Product."

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

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

"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"

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

"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."

"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."

"Do not use the technical support."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."

"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."

"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 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."

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

"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."

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

"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."

"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"

"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."

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."

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

"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"

"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."

"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."

"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."

"It is very good."
