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."

"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

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

"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."

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

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."

"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."

"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."

"​It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program."

"I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it."

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

"I can use it for training, which I have done. As a person sits in front of the computer they can watch what I do, or I can watch what they do."

"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another 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."

"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."

"Do not use the technical support."

"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."

"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."

"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."

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

"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."

"Our clients are having issues with printing."

"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."

"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."

"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."

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

"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. ​"

"​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.​"

"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."

"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."

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."

"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. ​"

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

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

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

"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."

"It is very good."

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
