Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
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 search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

Good remote services feature and easy to setup
With LogMeIn Pro, we could connect up to 10 computers, and having an option for something in between would be good. Like, we went from 10 to the next level, which was around 50 or so. If there was a tier, perhaps around 20, that I would have probably purchased, and it would have been a better fit for what I needed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"I like the security aspect, that I can glance down and see quickly who's up to date on patches, and who has virus concerns."
"We install our PCs at customer locations throughout the country and are able to support them remotely rather than having to travel to those locations."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"Remote access, we can remote access our clients, the workstation servers."
"It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"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."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."
"The ROI is almost instantaneous, in that it aggregates multiple functions into one, and allows for proactive actions that could otherwise cause some downtime or inconvenience."
"We are using LogMeIn for our IT Management."
"I would recommend LogMeIn."
"In our experience, we haven't had any issues; it's been stable, we're able to get to it, and it helps us run our business and service our employees better."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location.​"
"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer. Going the other way, sometimes I'll go to my home computer to do adjustments to my accounting system there."
 

Cons

"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."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"To be honest with you, I use it just for login and the prices are getting too high so we're going to look for an alternative solution."
"When using LogMeIn, you need a separate chat window."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."
"With our recent Windows 10 rollout, there was a rough patch, but that has been corrected."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"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."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"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 needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"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."
"It is very good."
"It is expensive, but in the long run we still come out ahead, because it saves us so much labor and downtime driving from one location to the other. In the end it's well worth the expense."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"My company needs to make annual payments toward the licensing cost of the product. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
