Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…

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

"I function through LogMeIn, because it gives me everything I need."
"It is a scalable solution."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"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."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"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."
"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"The most valuable feature is having it in a central location, all the different groups, and being able to ad-hoc or at will log on to whichever computer system I need to get to from a central spot."
"Once I landed on LogMeIn, they were so reliable, and they fitted my needs so well, that I have been satisfied ever since."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"LogMeIn allows me to quickly and efficiently assist my users across the United States."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location.​"
"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."
"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."
"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."
 

Cons

"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."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"Do not use the technical support."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"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."
"With Windows 10 we've had some issues with it crashing, and certain antivirus products cause it to fail. For the most part it's stable, but we do have an occasional crash mainly related to new operating systems. The new Microsoft Server and the new Windows operating systems sometimes have issues with it. But for the most part, in anything under, say, Windows 7, Windows 8, those seem to be pretty stable, and with the Microsoft Server 2012 and below, it's all stable. And I don't necessarily think it's LogMeIn. I think it may be Microsoft, to be honest with you."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"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."
"The UI could be a little bit more robust."
"Lower the price for an individual user. The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"LogMeIn is a great product, and unfortunately, is a necessary evil."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
 

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."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"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."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"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."
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
"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."
"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. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."
"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 think it's competitively priced. I haven't priced it out since we started with it, but the yearly subscription fee is worth it. It's not outrageous, and I believe that it's worth it for our company to pay the fees for the use of the product."
