LogMeIn Central vs LogMeIn Pro comparison

"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 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."

"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."

"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"

"The initial setup was very easy."

"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."

"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."

"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."

"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location.​"

"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."

"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."

"The ability to easily connect back and retrieve data from the computer systems that I have."

"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."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is 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."

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

"The solution is expensive as hell."

"Sometimes it just fails to load."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"Remote Access for external and internal customers."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"It's never cheap enough. If we got it for free, that would be perfect. But I know it's not and won't be free. It's always going to be too expensive for me because we're a small company."

"​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.​"

"It really is an expensive product for me.​"

"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."

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

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"

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

"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 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."

"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."

"The company does not scale the price based upon use."

"If you subscribe the package of 100 Agents, but install 5, you are still paying for the 100 agent package."
