Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
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. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

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

"Unattended remote assistance is the most valuable for us – I save travel time and 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."
"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."
"If you need unattended access, then LogMeIn; I haven't found anything better."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"For the servers, you have 24/7 unattended access, and for the clients, it may be 24/7."
"The alerts are helpful."
"This is a scalable solution and we use it amongst a bunch of clients; we'd use it on one computer for one person, and we would use it on 50 computers for one company."
"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."
"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."
"The remote services feature is definitely the most valuable, along with the capability to print remotely."
"Once I landed on LogMeIn, they were so reliable, and they fitted my needs so well, that I have been satisfied ever since."
"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."
"The setup was pretty simple."
"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."
 

Cons

"Do not use the technical support."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"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."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. That's crazy."
"The UI could be a little bit more robust."
"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."
"Lower the price for an individual user. The company does not scale the price based upon use."
"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."
"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. ​"
"When using LogMeIn, you need a separate chat window."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"We're paying $839 a year, so we're paying about $70 a month. We're using the smallest version of Pro."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"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."
"I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.​"
"It is very good."
"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
"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."
"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."
