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

"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."
"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 have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"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."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house, so I can catch up and get stuff done."
"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."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."
"If I could give it an 11 out of 10 I would, but I definitely give it a 10. It saves me time, it saves me headaches, it saves me a lot of problems, and I'm able to fix things quickly and move on. I can get in and out of the computer without anyone really even knowing that I fixed something."
"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."
"​It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program."
"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."
 

Cons

"Client setup."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"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."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The price. I complain about it all the time."
"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."
"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."
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow."
"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. ​"
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"Pricing has been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. That's crazy."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"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.​"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is what I'm upset with. Now, that they bought everybody up, the price doubled."
"Lower the price for an individual user. ​"
"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."
"I am very happy to say that I have been very satisfied with the LogMeIn product, except for the escalation of the price. ​"
"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."
"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."
