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…
Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

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."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"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."
"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."
"Unattended remote assistance."
"The product is very stable."
"The product helps us efficiently fix technical issues and maintain system downtime."
"It's stable and reliable."
"There are some great features."
"TeamViewer Remote Management is very easy and very good for remote work."
"The remote access is most valuable."
"I like the possibility of using this software across different operating systems and clouds, such as AWS or Azure Cloud, while being able to efficiently transfer files and run the data."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive as hell."
"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."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"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 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."
"I have contacted customer service and support a couple of times, but it was not good."
"There should be an enterprise version of the solution."
"The security of the solution could be more secure."
"It could be more secure."
"The connectivity could improve."
"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."
"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
"The solution is a little expensive."
