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

"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"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."
"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"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 ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."
"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."
"The setup was pretty simple."
"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."
"LogMeIn allows me to quickly and efficiently assist my users across the United States."
"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."
"User interface."
"It improves time and efficiency, both."
 

Cons

"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"While I am not in charge of the finances, I do know that the solution is expensive as hell."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"Client setup."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"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."
"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."
"Lower the price for an individual user. The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"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."
"​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.​"
"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."
"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. That's crazy."
"The management part probably needs improving. It can get a little cluttered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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."
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
"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."
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"It is very good."
"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."
"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 did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
