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…

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
"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 saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn; I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good, and I use the two-step login system and it's great."
"Remote access, we can remote access our clients, the workstation servers."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"When the pandemic hit, it worked out well because we already had the clients installed on it and we were able to remote in to do the work the same as if they were sitting there."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"Recently I needed to remotely access the software at my office, and I was able to connect using the software and access the information I needed within a minute or two, rather than having to drive to the office to get into the computer system."
"It's worth using over the others because it makes unattended remote access faster and simpler than the other products I tried."
"It's very low maintenance."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
 

Cons

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"Cost. It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."
"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."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"Do not use the technical support."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes."
"I thought it was a little bit difficult to set up, it was complicated."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"My immediate supervisor said it was lacking in documentation and had too many words to describe how to use the product when crafting instructions to send to our third party consultant who was going to connect to our system behind our firewall."
"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"It is priced fairly."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
