Find out what your peers are saying about Zoom Video Communications, Cisco, TeamViewer and others in Virtual Meetings."It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"Due to the fact that we can help our clients virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"We like the fact that on our website we can have the ConnectWise bit embedded, and it has instructions for the end-user about what they need to do. Previously, on LogMeIn, we used to have to almost talk them through everything... ConnectWise has step-by-step instructions, depending on the browser."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"Remote connect via webpage. I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers."
"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."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"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."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"There is an issue which is pretty rare, but I find it at least when connecting from my mobile device. I am forced to refresh the screen by changing the screen quality to get screen updates. This only happens sometimes."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"Do not use the technical support."
"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 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."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
