LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"The initial setup was very easy."

"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."

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

"Unattended remote assistance."

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

"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."

"The alerts are helpful."

"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."

"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."

"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 login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote 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."

"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."

"The most valuable feature is having it in a central location, all the different groups, and being able to ad-hoc or at will log on to whichever computer system I need to get to from a central spot."

"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

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

"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."

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

"I do not like the antivirus."

"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."

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

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

"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 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."

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

"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."

"I would enhance the product, so if I had two screens in front of me, it could connect to two computers simultaneously with the program. For example, if I had a computer at location A and a computer at location B and I am sitting at location C, it might be nice for me to be able to be connected to all three of those computers and move data between those three during one session. ​"

"​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.​"

"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 really is an expensive product for me.​"

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

"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."

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

"It is expensive, but in the long run we still come out ahead, because it saves us so much labor and downtime driving from one location to the other. In the end it's well worth the expense."

"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."

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