LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."

"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it."

"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."

"This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."

"They recently included the Kaspersky Security Suite as part of their Central Product."

"You don't have to remember the password and the login all the time. Once you get it in there, it's in there, and you can go about your business."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"

"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."

"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."

"I do not like the antivirus."

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

"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."

"Do not use the technical support."

"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."

"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."

"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."

"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."

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

"The high pricing of the product is its only shortcoming that needs improvement."

"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. ​"

"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."

"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."

"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."

"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."

"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."

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

"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."

"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."

"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."

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