Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."The ability to change the way that the client works to a service so that we can get a little bit deeper into the operating system, as opposed to just an app running is the most valuable aspect. We also like the unattended sessions. Those are probably the two most important things to us. It's important because we can't do certain things when it is just an application running."
"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."
"The initial setup is easy. If you want the desktop program, you just download and install it."
"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."
"The desktop sharing allows our clients to demonstrate the issue they are having, and then allows us to provide remediation directly."
"It is very stable. It adjusts to bandwidth very well."
"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."
"Being able to transfer files quickly and easily via the remote file manager."
"LogMeIn is a remote tool that I use for remote solutions."
"If they included some sort of monitoring system for managed services so we can have it all in one package, that would be helpful. There are managed services solutions that allow us to remote into the computers, but a lot of them have too much overhead. Usually, the remote connection is not as simple and as fast and cannot be run as a service."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."
"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."
"Their ability to support mobile has been really problematic. I've seen other products that have done a better job in supporting mobile products. LogMeIn has just never been able to come up to par there, and that would be a detractor. They've been talking about supporting mobile for 10-plus years, and I really haven't seen any improvement on that."
"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."
"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."
"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."
