Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location."
"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."
"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."
"User interface."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"it's very easy to use, it's very efficient."
"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."
"Our favorite feature is being able to diagnose customers' problems by seeing them on the screen, rather than just over the phone."
"There’s something called the dial-in so for people that use us all the time, we can have an icon on their screen and they can click that icon and we connect to them."
"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."
"The desktop sharing allows our clients to demonstrate the issue they are having, and then allows us to provide remediation directly."
"It has a feature that, when you take over the machine, you can get into the system administrator level. We’re able to tweak things on the machine as if we’re sitting there."
"It is very stable. It adjusts to bandwidth very well."
"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 user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"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."
"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."
"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."
"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."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"I would like to see a mobile client that would work on an iPad, so I do not always have to be on a PC or a full-blown Mac operating system."
"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."
"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost."
"Support to remotely control more mobile devices' screens is desperately needed. It is sad to see how long this product has been out and how many phones are still not supported for, specifically, remote screen control."
"it needs better iOS integration. It's still limited in its functionality when it comes to iOS. Currently, when you do something other than iOS, you're not able to take control of what's going on; instead of having to tell the user, "Click here, click there," I would like to have full control over an iOS device."
"The pricing, is a little on the high end but it's proven itself to be worth it for sure."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
