Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup was very easy.""It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access.""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 initial setup was simple.""Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​""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.""Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems.""It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."

"I can use it for training, which I have done. As a person sits in front of the computer they can watch what I do, or I can watch what they do.""You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business.""User interface.""I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it.""Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner.""If I could give it an 11 out of 10 I would, but I definitely give it a 10. It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on. I can get in and out of the computer without anyone really even knowing that I fixed something.""The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have.""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."

Cons
"Do not use the technical support.""Sometimes it just fails to load.""There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate.""It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access.""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.""​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​""It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved.""The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."

"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.""​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.​""Remote Access for external and internal customers.""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.""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.""The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement.""Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."

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."

  • "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 »
