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

"Remote access, we can remote access our clients, the workstation servers."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients, we can just use remote access."
"It's easy to install, and it's robust and secure."
"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."
"When the pandemic hit, it worked out well because we already had the clients installed on it and we were able to remote in to do the work the same as if they were sitting there."
"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"It improves time and efficiency, both."
"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."
"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."
"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."
"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."
"User interface."
"It's the only product I need to be able to get to my office Outlook, to get my emails off that particular computer."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house, so I can catch up and get stuff done."
 

Cons

"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day."
"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."
"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'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."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years."
"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."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"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."
"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect."
"The UI could be a little bit more robust."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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. ​"
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"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."
"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."
"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 probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"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."
"The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"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."
"It is very good."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
