Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays

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. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

Easy setup and effective support

I am with the company that sells LogMeIn Rescue. So, we engage with end customers, enterprise customers, manufacturing customers, BFSI customers, and healthcare customers. We try to find their use cases and provision our solution accordingly. For instance, if someone is in manufacturing and wants…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to install, and it's robust and secure."

"Unattended remote assistance is the most valuable for us – I save travel time and money."

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

"Remote access, we can remote access our clients, the workstation servers."

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

"The alerts are helpful."

"The initial setup was pretty straightforward."

"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

More LogMeIn Central pros

"The initial setup is easy. If you want the desktop program, you just download and install it."

"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."

"Ability to save a permanent remote connection, hold, and/or transfer."

"Before we were using this, everything either had to be in-person, or one computer at a time, and this has allowed us to access multiple computers, share between technicians, and support everybody inside and outside our company simultaneously."

"It is a great product; it will save you money and time, and it probably pays for itself in the first 60 days of use every year."

"From my perspective and my experience, LogMeIn is already at a 10 out of 10; everything else that I would like is just icing on the cake, it really is fluff."

"The initial setup was straightforward and simple. We did not have any training. We just installed it and were able to use it right away."

"If an issue happens, we're able to log in at the time that it happens and address it , so there's minimal downtime."

More LogMeIn Rescue pros

Cons

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

"I do not like the antivirus."

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

"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."

"Do not use the technical support."

"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."

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

More LogMeIn Central cons

"The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."

"They need to improve their technical support."

"As a whole, I am still a little disappointed with the mobile side of it."

"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."

"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"

"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is."

"The one big problem that I have with LogMeIn Rescue is, I use a Mac. All my technicians use PCs. I use a Mac, and the Mac agent crashes at least once a day. I have to stop it and start it again. To date, I don’t have a problem with people using PC. I think the Mac app that they have needs to be improved."

"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, it's always a problem."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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 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."

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

"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. "

"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."

More LogMeIn Central pricing and cost advice

"While LogMeIn Rescue is a great product and a leader in the industry, it's way pricey. Price is the most negative thing about LogMeIn Rescue."

"The pricing is worth the value."

"It is on the medium to high side. For us, it is worth it. For the amount of time they save us, it pretty much pays for itself."

"The only downside is pricing. I think each technician license is somewhere around $100 or $120 a month now. So if you have a lot of technicians, it can get expensive, for a small business."

"Pricing is reasonable and easily offsets other costs, while resolving issues in a much quicker timeframe."

"Right now, I'm using ScreenConnect, which is about $45 per technician. Unless I buy LogMeIn with a large license and commit for the long-term and prepay, I will have to pay almost $120 per user a month. It's almost three times the price over the normal price for ScreenConnect, which is very similar in regards to all of the features that LogMeIn Rescue can do."

"I did look into a couple of other products, TeamViewer in particular, at one point. The price point of Rescue, compared to some of the other things that are in the marketplace right now, is high. But it's what I would call the "Cadillac" of the industry."

"It's definitely worth the value."
