We performed a comparison between LogMeIn Rescue and TeamViewer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The multiple connect methods really help with users who are not tech savvy or knowledgeable about their own computers."
"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."
"It allows us to rapidly solve issues for our customers on a remote basis, regardless of the location of the customer."
"Being able to reboot computers into safe mode, when needed. That has come in handy in regards to IT troubleshooting."
"Customer satisfaction went up by 40 percent and productivity for my staff went up by 30 percent."
"The desktop sharing allows our clients to demonstrate the issue they are having, and then allows us to provide remediation directly."
"Instead of trying to walk-through a user on how to fix their computer, we just log in, do it, and move on to the next case."
"I will say 100% in five years, I do not think we have had to use technical support for anything."
"I am satisfied with TeamViewer, and its performance."
"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"It is a scalable product."
"Ease of use was the number-one thing. It's an industry leader for ease of use, specifically on the client-side, which is the absolutely critical thing. If I want to connect to somebody, how easily can I — without seeing their computer — walk them through the steps to install it to a point where I can key in the code and help them resolve their situation?... TeamViewer is just a dead-solid, easy answer."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"I would like a single sign on for all of our (five) accounts so that I can immediately use an available seat. Right now, I have to try to log in with each account separately, in an attempt to find an available license that is not currently in use."
"The interface is not user-friendly. It looks a little outdated. I think the options are there. I think just the layout needs improvement."
"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."
"The app itself requires so many different updates and it requires us to rebuild it every time, and that's been a bit of a problem, over the last five years, in keeping it up to date for our clients."
"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."
"Secondly, the product needs improvement on mobile interfaces because on mobile devices it doesn't perform very well. On computers, it is good, with desktops, laptops, it is good. Sometimes iPad is good, but going with other devices, like Android or Windows on smart phones, it's always a problem."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"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."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"Sometimes it lags."
"The performance could always be better."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
