Find out what your peers are saying about NinjaOne, Kaseya, TeamViewer and others in Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM)."I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"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."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."
"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."
"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."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"There have to be made some improvement in WSUS and control in other non-Microsoft products updates."
"This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD."
"It does the job and meets our needs. With everybody working remotely these days, we are using this solution to deploy everything. The deployment of PCs is easy."
"What's valuable is the basic management of the systems, being able to control who can access the systems."
"It's a stable product."
"With the SCCM inventory, we found a lot of rogue applications. We were able to identify them, find out who was running them, and either put them on our application list or remove them."
"The technical support is good."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. "
"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."
"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."
"Do not use the technical support."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"Its client interface should be more accessible, and the notifications should be more customizable from the console. It should be more user friendly and have some kind of customized notifications so that we can use it on the client side. These are the reasons why we restricted its use only for the server environment and didn't use it on the client side."
"The reports are too busy. They could be simpler. I'm a technician, so I don't care how pretty the reports look. They should be easy to read. I'm designing this for production folks. They need to read the reports quickly when they're patching in the middle of the night."
"The setup was complex and I faced a lot of problems initially because I was new to the solution."
"Troubleshooting in general needs improvement. There's just a ton of logs to go through, and so finding the error log that corresponds with that you're doing can sometimes be difficult."
"Devices like smartphones and tablets are managed very well on VMware, however, they are absent in SCCM. I could configure iPad from the VMware site and it was done very easily. It should be just as possible on SCCM."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"I want the system to provide some dependency relations. I would also like to see the relationship between different machines."
