LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"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."

"Unattended remote assistance."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"​The initial setup was simple."

"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."

"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"

"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."

"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."

"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."

"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."

"You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business."

"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."

"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."

"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location.​"

"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."

"​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."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"Do not use the technical support."

"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."

"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."

"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. ​"

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"

"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."

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

"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."

"It really is an expensive product for me.​"

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

"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."

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

"It's pretty fair for up to five computers I think (it might be three - it's either three or five). After that, it gets a little expensive, so if they could get a little bit more aggressive on how many computers you can add in, that would be great."

"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."

"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. Last year I called and complained, they gave me a deal. This year, it's gone up to $350. I'm looking for a new source. It seems to be getting expensive for me to look back and forth. Come up with a different level of service for just communicating with two computers; I use it, maybe, five minutes a day."

"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."

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

"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
