LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."

"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 allows you to transfer along with many other functions."

"​The initial setup was pretty straightforward."

"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."

"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."

"The biggest thing is the flexibility, you can use it as long as you can get an internet connection. You can use it pretty much anywhere you're at. It just makes it a lot easier. We are a small staff, and if nobody is in the office, LogMeIn gives us secure access to get in there."

"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."

"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."

"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."

"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."

"User interface."

"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."

"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."

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

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."

"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."

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"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."

"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."

"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."

"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."

"As far as the usability of it, I'd like to see if printing could be enabled in the basic version or the medium version. Some of the remote printing isn't available unless you go to the premium versions, and that's disappointing."

"​Everything has to be done over the web, via email, or something like that. You can't talk to a human being. That bothers me a lot.​"

"I would enhance the product, so if I had two screens in front of me, it could connect to two computers simultaneously with the program. For example, if I had a computer at location A and a computer at location B and I am sitting at location C, it might be nice for me to be able to be connected to all three of those computers and move data between those three during one session. ​"

"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."

"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."

"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 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."

"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."

"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

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

"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."

"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."

"The price point has gone up significantly. We used to have a lot of other customers. I used to sell it to other customer sites. But they've moved to TeamViewer, SiteSecure, and several others. There are four or five others that they went to because they're being more competitive on their pricing."

"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."

"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."

"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."

"It is very good."

"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
