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

"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn; I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good, and I use the two-step login system and it's great."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"It is convenient for my workers to be at home, therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work, that is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"We install our PCs at customer locations throughout the country and are able to support them remotely rather than having to travel to those locations."
"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."
"I would recommend LogMeIn."
"I can copy information and put it into a presentation that I may be putting together at another location."
"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."
"Once I landed on LogMeIn, they were so reliable, and they fitted my needs so well, that I have been satisfied ever since."
"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 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 setup was pretty simple."
 

Cons

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"While I am not in charge of the finances, I do know that the solution is expensive as hell."
"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"The client could have a bit more functionality, as some changes can only be made through the web interface."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"With our recent Windows 10 rollout, there was a rough patch, but that has been corrected."
"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. That's crazy."
"When using LogMeIn, you need a separate chat window."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit."
"I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive."
"It is very good."
"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 am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
