What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have a good impression of the product's stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
Four people, consisting of engineers, users, and admins, in my company, use LogMeIn Pro.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In the past, my company used to use another solution, the name of which I can't remember. My company switched from the previous product it relied on to LogMeIn Pro since it was much more expensive than LogMeIn Pro.
How was the initial setup?
The setup phase of the product was simple.
The product's deployment phase is easy.
The deployment of the product could be done in five minutes.
When the email sent by our company to a user or customer is opened at the end, the steps in the deployment process come to an end.
The solution is deployed on the cloud.
What about the implementation team?
My company did seek a consultant's help for the product's installation phase.
What was our ROI?
ROI-wise, the product is not worth the money my company paid for it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product falls on the higher side of the price spectrum.
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did not evaluate any other options before the selection of LogMeIn Pro for my company.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the product to those planning to use it. LogMeIn Pro is a good and simple system.
I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Vp Of Enterprise IT at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
The reliability and ease of use are the most valuable features.
What is most valuable?
I'd say, the reliability and ease of use are the most valuable features. You can get going in no time.
How has it helped my organization?
There is nothing like seeing the problem, when the customer reports a problem. Nothing like seeing that problem in action. When you are on the other end, when you are the customer, when you are trying to talk to, let's say, Dell, or anybody else, then you take LogMeIn, to enable them to look at my computer, and then they know exactly what is going on; then the problem is resolved very quickly.
So, this has probably saved, I would say, you can even count it up for a big company, years worth of time, cumulatively speaking, when you take multiple employees into account. Otherwise, problem solving is very, very difficult.
What needs improvement?
When using LogMeIn, you need a separate chat window. Also, you cannot talk when the other party is able to see your laptop, or vice versa. When you're really trying to communicate, you're better off actually typing, "Hey, don't do that." "Go here." Something like that. Having a nice chat window would be ideal.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have had no problems with the LogMeIn stability, and in terms of usage, I've used it numerous times, but have had no problems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The way I think it works, you can deploy it across an organisation, so from that standpoint, I have not had a problem. Some companies use GoToMeeting. My current company uses GoToMeeting as an alternative. LogMeIn came later. Both are pretty highly scalable solutions.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have no experience with technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I've been using these things for many years, so previously, I've been using GoToMeeting, which has a different purpose.
There is one other product that they made it ultratrivial: You just get a URL, and you just type it and go.
How was the initial setup?
The setup was very, very easy. So, from that standpoint, it's very simple; just some client downloads on your laptop, and within minutes, you're in business.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Even though there are competing products, I would not hesitate to go with LogMeIn.
The benefits I looked for are:
- Number one, the product works reliably, as promised.
- Number two, the simplicity aspect of the product.
- Number three, if there are any self-service videos. If there is a problem you don't quite understand, look at a training video. So you're not sitting and reading, or trying to call somebody.
What other advice do I have?
There are several alternative setups available, which are probably cheaper. I would ask any potential customer to check more and more; to evaluate it carefully, for multiple features administered, and then make sure that it works every time. Because, as this is a frequently used product, you don't want headaches with it. It is not like something else, numerous people are using it, and numerous people are using it frequently. So, you don't not want trouble with this kind of product. Otherwise, too many people will be calling you.

Sales Manager & Sr. Mortgage Loan Officer
Remote access to my computer allows me to work from home at night
Pros and Cons
- "Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."
- "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. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."
What is our primary use case?
Everything from remote access to my computer, to helping my 91-year-old dad on his computer.
How has it helped my organization?
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. Then, my dad is 91, and he needs lots of help, so being able to log in and share the screen with him is a big benefit.
So not having to drive up to my office at night to work, and not having to drive over to my dad's house to help him on the computer.
What needs improvement?
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. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex.
For how long have I used the solution?
More than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I think it's been stable. There have been times when it has been down, but they are very few and far between.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's able to handle what I do.
How are customer service and technical support?
When I've had to call for help they've been really good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used GoToMyPC. LogMeIn had better pricing for the number of computers that I needed to do, and I think the desktop app is nice with LogMeIn Pro. I used them at the time for quite a while, and then I chose to go with LogMeIn Pro as a full-time solution.
How was the initial setup?
It's pretty straightforward. I set up new computers all the time or replace ones out. It's pretty easy.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
GoToMyPC was the big one.
What other advice do I have?
Most companies can do better on their user interface, just because if it's got any complexity to it, if it's not intuitive, you're just not going to get or keep as many users. So user interface is always going to be something that companies need to work on.
I'd say it's a 10 out of 10. There's room for improvement, but for what I need it for, it's great. They just need to make the user interface a little more intuitive, a little more easy to use, especially for some of the additional things, besides the remote access.

Owner with 1-10 employees
I can login to my computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location
Pros and Cons
- "I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location."
- "It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
I am not a power user. I can login to my office computer when I am at a remote location, primarily just from my laptop at home. I actually have my laptop in LogMeIn, but I never go the other way, I just login to my main computer remotely.
How has it helped my organization?
It is pretty simple. I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location, as well as look up stuff: mail and stuff like that.
What is most valuable?
The ability to login remotely, which is pretty opposite. That is the important part.
What needs improvement?
I can't talk to anyone over the phone via LogMeIn. 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.
For how long have I used the solution?
More than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I have not had stability issues lately. I was having issues when I was typing into a word document. It would start filling into what I had already typed, but I have not experienced that in a while, so I think that has probably been corrected.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I don't need scalability, because I'm a one man band with a one-to-one computer.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have never been able to talk to anybody. As I recall, there is no phone support. I have not had any issues with support, but I was not able to talk to anybody.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
No. This solution was recommended by my IT guy eight to 10 years ago.
How was the initial setup?
It must have been straightforward. My IT person set it up for me. It is a friendly program. The only problem I had was I needed help one time setting my audio on the remote computer.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is pricey. When they renew me, they always boost it up, I call them and they cut it back a little bit. However, I just bite the bullet.
I have a tiered pricing. If I wanted to subscribe for three years, I will get a discount for that.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
It was picked for me by my IT person.
I also use GoToMeeting, but I don't hold meetings with it, I just use it to view meetings.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend LogMeIn. Over the years, I have just had minor technical issues. I am happy with the product.

Computer Technician at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Straightforward to set up, reliable, and easily scales up to any size of company
Pros and Cons
- "This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
I used this solution for support. I would log into the client when they had an issue, which gets you into the work station. From there, I could fix whatever issues there were.
It is pretty much the same as any other remote access product.
What is most valuable?
This is a product that had all of the features, to begin with. They were one of the first in this space. Now, all of the other solutions seem to be catching up to it, and they've pretty much all got the same thing now.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I had been working with LogMeIn Pro for seven or eight years. We are no longer using it in the company.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a very reliable product and I've never had it crash.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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. You just get your dashboard and everything listed there. You can just add a computer as you need.
This product is definitely better for bigger companies. You can install a client on every one of their machines and log in when you need to.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've never had to use technical support for LogMeIn Pro.
I have used their VPN solution, Hamachi, before, and I had to contact technical support about it on just one occasion. We no longer use it.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We started with LogMeIn pro but have since switched to Splashtop because it's cheaper.
How was the initial setup?
There is a client that installs on the client machine and all you do is download it, then double-click to install it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I did not deal with the financial aspect but my impression is that they are more expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud

Sr. Merger and Acquisition Advisor, Owner at a financial services firm with 11-50 employees
Allows me to get my documents when I'm away from my home computer or my office desktop
Pros and Cons
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
Going between two computers, my home laptop, and my office desktop.
How has it helped my organization?
Being able to get my documents when I'm away from either my home computer or my office desktop.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
Pricing. It's been going up for just going back and forth between two computers. That's crazy. I don't use it for anything else.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability has been good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I've only got the two computers registered, and I can go back and forth between them.
How are customer service and technical support?
I haven't called them for support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use anything else before this. This is my first solution.
How was the initial setup?
From my memory, it was pretty straightforward. Just download the program, you're done.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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. That's my only complaint. I don't use any other products on the deal. Come up with a different level of service for just communicating with two computers; I use it, maybe, five minutes a day.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I just googled it. I chose it because of the pricepoint.
What other advice do I have?
It's remote access, it's easy to do.
Go online, check pricing to see if it can be competitive with anyone else at this point in time.
