One thing I can say about RDS is that a person can switch ports for connectivity purposes, but it can't be used as readily as an off-LAN remote access. RDS is a bit on the stodgy side when it comes to remote security capabilities. The solution works pretty well and does a pretty good job of securing that outer shell. One who needs to remotely access their office computer from their home would have a good desktop experience and could pretty much take care of anything he needs. We have primarily been dealing with the solution, which is what we do at present. As we have our hands full with clients, we have a fairly big subscription with LogMeIn, our largest being in the hundred seat range and smallest likely in the three or five seat range. The solution makes it pretty easy to remotely access networks from where we are. More often than not, these remote networks are not situated out of town. I am not saying this is unheard of. We do have a couple of clients who are hundreds of miles away and, in these cases, we wind up using the solution to access these networks. I use RDS internally to get to other servers in a given network. I rate LogMeIn Central as an eight out of ten.

If you get a new machine, the old machine would not show up anymore, but its license is still being used until you delete it. So, you could easily have a lot of seats for which you're paying but they don't exist anymore. If you reinstall the same machine but it just doesn't detect, you could easily have five instances up there of the same machine, which is something you might not notice. I would rate it an eight out of 10.
I'm just a customer and an end-user. I've used different versions/iterations of LogMeIn tools over several years. I do remember it got better over time and I used it almost every day at the time. The last time I used it, I shared the login credentials with a colleague who always has the most recent version. I would likely recommend the solution to others. However, with the disclaimer that I haven't used it as frequently or as thoroughly to give a good assessment. I'd give the products a nine out of ten, and only because of my limited usage. I use AWS, Azure, Google, Private/On-Prem cloud solutions, with IBM forthcoming for other purposes. I gather LogMeIn Central will allow management of these environments. Again, I’ll give LogMeIn a deeper look now.
I support POS hardware/software, over 100 desktops and laptops. I use Symantec Endpoint Protection Cloud for anti-virus, but LogMeIn Central for OS updates and fixes. Everything is on-premise. Check around for other options. If you don’t need unassisted remote access then there are free products that work just as well.
I recommend the solution to private companies. I rate it a ten out of ten.
