Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
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. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

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

"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."
"Remote access, we can remote access our clients, the workstation servers."
"I function through LogMeIn, because it gives me everything I need."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"It's easy to install, and it's robust and secure."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."
"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"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."
"It improves time and efficiency, both."
"This is a scalable solution and we use it amongst a bunch of clients; we'd use it on one computer for one person, and we would use it on 50 computers for one company."
"The ROI is almost instantaneous, in that it aggregates multiple functions into one, and allows for proactive actions that could otherwise cause some downtime or inconvenience."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"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's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Lower the price for an individual user. The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"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."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"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. ​"
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"My company needs to make annual payments toward the licensing cost of the product. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"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."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
