Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems.""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.""I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful.""​The initial setup was simple.""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 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.""No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything.""This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."

"They recently included the Kaspersky Security Suite as part of their Central Product.""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.""Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house.""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 biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in 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.""​It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program.""I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."

Cons
"I do not like the antivirus.""The solution is expensive as hell.""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.""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.""The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed.""Our clients are having issues with printing.""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.""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."

More LogMeIn Central Cons →

"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in.""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.""The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement.""It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot.""Remote Access for external and internal customers.""Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well.""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.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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. ​"
  • "It really is an expensive product for me.​"
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
  • "It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
  • "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."
  • More LogMeIn Central Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is very good."
  • "If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
  • "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."
  • "Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
  • "To be honest with you, I use it just for login and the prices are getting too high so we're going to look for an alternative solution. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."
  • "We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
  • "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."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower device limit plans.
    Top Answer:The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely.
    Top Answer:The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50. But for 10 seats, the price is fair.
    Top Answer:With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a… more »
