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

"If you have a small footprint in the IT department, it's a very efficient tool to give a very well-rounded perspective of remote access and security control on devices, and in an environment where it's geographically disbursed."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"The alerts are helpful."
"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."
"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."
"Unattended remote assistance is the most valuable for us – I save travel time and money."
"It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to seamlessly launch a Calling Card on a user’s desktop to quickly and securely access their computer with reboot integration and data transfer."
"It gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to travel; it doesn't matter where you're at, I traveled overseas to Vietnam and was able to log in, and you can log in from anywhere in the world, so from that standpoint, it gives you access 24/7 no matter where you're at."
"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."
"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."
"User interface."
"Even though there are competing products, I would not hesitate to go with LogMeIn."
"If I could give it an 11 out of 10 I would, but I definitely give it a 10. It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on. I can get in and out of the computer without anyone really even knowing that I fixed something."
"They recently included the Kaspersky Security Suite as part of their Central Product."
 

Cons

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"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 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."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The price. I complain about it all the time."
"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."
"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."
"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.​"
"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."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
"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 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."
