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

"​The initial setup was simple."
"Remote access, we can remote access our clients, the workstation servers."
"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 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."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"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."
"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"They recently included the Kaspersky Security Suite as part of their Central Product."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location.​"
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"Even though there are competing products, I would not hesitate to go with LogMeIn."
"The setup was pretty simple."
"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."
 

Cons

"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow."
"Would like for the client to be searchable."
"If I had to point out one thing, it would be that it is expensive."
"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. ​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"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."
"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."
"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 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 is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"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."
"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."
"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"
"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'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."
