Here are some excerpts of what they said:

More GoToMyPC Pros →

"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that.""It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access.""I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful.""The initial setup was very easy.""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.""Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​""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 pretty straightforward."

Cons
"Integration could be improved. I'd prefer if the solution could integrate with our support and report tools as well as our timesheet reporting.""If the PC is hung then it requires a reboot.""The pricing has tripled in a small amount of time and there is not three times better service."

More GoToMyPC Cons →

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users.""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.""It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved.""I do not like the antivirus.""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.""It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access.""​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We pay approximately 2,000 Euros a year for the solution. The licensing is all-inclusive; you don't have to pay for extra add-ons or services."
  • "It was cheap and now it is comparably expensive. It costs me $484 to use the solution with just two physical PCs."
  • More GoToMyPC 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."
