LogMeIn Central and Atera compete in the remote management software market. Atera holds an advantage due to its comprehensive feature set and ease of use.

Features: LogMeIn Central provides advanced remote management, endpoint security, and a scalable infrastructure. Atera includes all-in-one remote monitoring and management, professional services automation, and billing tools. Atera's integration with third-party applications is highly valued by businesses.

Room for Improvement: LogMeIn Central could improve its complex deployment process and enhance customer service responsiveness.

Having fewer hardware replacements saves us in annual costs

There is a new version of the interface coming out. I have been asking for a new version for a while. While the interface is nice, I guess the developer thinks one way and the user thinks another. So, I think the interface is getting a big overhaul. This is what they have mentioned in their webinars and stuff. It is in beta, but I'm not on the beta program, so I haven't seen it. I can't really complain about the old interface, but now that I have heard there is a new one coming, all I want is the new one. The one thing that could do with improvement is the reporting. This is from someone who worked in an MSP, where I would want to run a report and be able to just present that to a client. Reports are fine for internal use, where they never leave your company. However, if I was an MSP, I would probably want a little bit more information or the ability to customize some of it without having to edit PDFs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Measuring the integration is very helpful when using Atera Assist Test. It takes the solution to the next level by automating activities. It doesn't just provide the solution but also allows running scripts to fix issues before a technician has to work on them."

"We value the alerts that come with the product which allow me to reach out to my clients. Overall, Atera generates additional revenue streams for work done on their machines."

"Atera has saved our organization money. We look at Atera as an extra employee that we only pay about $300 a month. This is incredible savings over having to hire somebody to do all the tasks that Atera performs for us."

"I have better access when I go to look for something regarding either a specific user or software. It is easier to locate. When I am troubleshooting with my clients on the phone, I am not fiddling around looking through a bunch of ticket notes trying to locate something. It makes me a lot more efficient."

"The most valuable features of this solution are automatic batch matching and unattended support access."

"All of the features of Atera are valuable because they allow the customers to achieve their goals. It is easy to use, has good collaboration, and has zero maintenance."

"Atera saves money. A trip to the customer costs between $20 to $30. Then, you need to charge the customer $20 to $30 for the travel. However, if you are doing this work remotely, then you are not driving. This makes the process easier and saves money for you and the customer. For example, if it is just one machine, then the savings comes out to $50 to $60. If we are talking about a huge client, who has hundreds of machines and is changing their infrastructure, that is a lot of money."

"I would say it's the number one tool for all ITMS."

More Atera pros

"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 simple."

"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."

"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."

"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."

"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."

"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."

"The alerts are helpful."

Cons

"They are working on an update, and I would like to see more stuff outside of just computers and servers. Increasingly, we need to be able to monitor and manage network devices. Atera is improving on that already, which is one place that it is currently lacking."

"There should be enhancements in network monitoring capabilities beyond just physical devices like computers and servers. It would be beneficial to include better tools for monitoring networking infrastructure such as routers. Additionally, while Atera excels in ticket management, I believe there's room for improvement in user authentication and security features, especially when accessing and managing remote equipment. These updates would contribute to a more robust and secure user experience overall. Atera should include a monitoring tool integrated with Azure or similar cloud platforms. It would be beneficial to have capabilities for monitoring network growth and automatically generating statistics based on system stability and performance metrics. This feature would help us better manage and optimize our equipment and network resources, especially for strategic customer planning and resource allocation."

"There is definitely room for improvement with its automation capabilities."

"The solution is scalable. However, in the past, we did have some issues."

"Customization could be improved."

"I would like to see more mobile device management. iPad is a big one. I know they've been working on some of that. For me, it would be amazing if I could do tablet devices and even expand it to POS systems or the like. I know that a lot goes into that but I've seen it is an area they're looking at."

"The billing module has a standard layout which is too limited for my needs."

"The one thing that could do with improvement is the reporting. This is from someone who worked in an MSP, where I would want to run a report and be able to just present that to a client."

More Atera cons

"Do not use the technical support."

"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."

"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."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. "

"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."

"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The value of the product is perfect, neither cheap nor expensive. I think it is the right rate. It would be awesome if it continued to be the same price because it is a great solution that I like. I like it because I'm not paying per device. I have some customers on monthly contracts and some of them are on break'n fix. If I have a client who is on break'n fix, and they need to pay per agent, then I am losing money. If they were ever to change structures, going to pay-per-device model, then I would need to think about changing to something else."

"We pay per user. I am the only user. It is $150 per user. If I need to add one, it is not as costly as expanding with other providers."

"Atera happened to have the best pricing model."

"With Atera, the more you add, the cheaper the cost of the additional endpoints will be."

"In terms of cost, it's not very expensive. I’d rate it around three or four out of ten, considering its value for money."

"Our company is a startup. The initial reason I looked into Atera was the fact that you pay by the technician, not per-device. That means you are able to jump right in with a service without having a large overhead."

"One of the biggest issues I face is the need to pay per technician. I've dealt with other platforms that you need to have 250-500 devices. Even though the cost declines as the number of devices a person has increases, they still require you to pay for 250 or 500, respectively. With Atera, the number doesn't matter as you always pay the same amount. I approximate that Atera saves me $100 per week."

"As an internal IT, it's gold right there. It is money in the bank."

More Atera pricing and cost advice

"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."

"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."

"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."

"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."

"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."

"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."

"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."

"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
