LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"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."

"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."

"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

"The initial setup was very easy."

"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."

"​The initial setup was simple."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."

"Having it in a central location, all the different groups, and being able to ad-hoc or at will log on to whichever computer system I need to get to from a central spot."

"The setup was pretty simple."

"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."

"It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."

"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."

"Do not use the technical support."

"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 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."

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

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

"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."

"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow."

"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."

"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."

"If I had to point out one thing, it would be that it is expensive."

"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."

"It would be helpful if there were more things that you could do outside of having to log into the machine, such as being able to raise a command line and reboot the computer if, for whatever reason, it doesn't want to let me in."

"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."

"When using LogMeIn, you need a separate chat window."

"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."

"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."

"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."

"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."

"The solution's price is reasonable."

"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."

"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."

"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'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."

"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. It used to be a couple of hundred dollars a year, now it's like $600 a year. We're definitely going to be switching shortly. Every year they have significant increases."

"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."

"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."

"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"

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

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"
