Action1 vs. LogMeIn Rescue vs. FixMe.IT by Techinline

If your organization is like mine (nonprofit and tight budget) this product is for you. The first 200 endpoints are free and being we are a small organization, this product is perfect for us. I was able to use Action1 to upgrade all my endpoints from Windows 10 to 11 pretty much effortlessly. If you are not a nonprofit and have more endpoints over 200, this is still a great product to use as I don't find it very expensive to incorporate into your infrastructure.

Most of the time it is great. Sometimes with iPads it is not great or too expensive for orgs to pay for an option to allow iPads to be logged into along with computers and windows computer tablets. When needing to view something a client is talking about. It is great to use login to understand the issue and possibly fix any issues we need.

FixMe.IT is an absolute price-performer. Far less expensive than many of its competitors, it offers all the major features small outfits like mine need. While not nearly as robust as other offerings such as TeamViewer and GoToAssist, its price point simply can't be beat. Thus, small consulting firms that primarily deal with Windows-based PCs will see a huge cost benefit. Larger MSPs are probably better off with a more expensive but flexible solution.

• Easy remote access to devices. That simple. We have some very unskilled users in the field where asking them to access their PC via conventional remote tools like TeamViewer, Anydesk, etc. was always a pain. Now, all they have to do is ensure their PC is online, and we can connect to them.
• Remote software deploy. Before Action1, we did have some GPOs and scripts, but again - being able to deploy to PCs outside of our office/LAN, is just beautiful. On top of the standard repository, being able to create new packages is very useful for our scenario.
• Inventory Reporting. Recently we had to identify PCs running old versions of Windows. Can't highlight enough how easy it is.

• LogMeIn Rescue does a great job of allowing access to our clients computer screens.
• LogMeIn Rescue does a great job of allowing me as an admin to monitor my technicians.
• LogMeIn Rescue does a great job of allowing me as an admin to pull daily, weekly and monthly stat reports.
• LogMeIn Rescue does a great job of allowing me as an admin to view my technician's chat logs.

• Unattended access always works
• Deployment through MSI to all PCs in the company
• Stable and dependable. The app never has issues.
• Option to follow users' mouse if they have more than one screen but you are only using one screen to display their computer. It allows them to show you things without fighting for the mouse or having our view of their screen be too small.
• Lightweight. The app for on-demand remote controll, unattended access, and even the expert are all very small and not resource intentsive

• Remote Access could use added functionality
• The deployment screens for update deferrals can be hard to understand at first and easy to skip since it carries some default info when you create a new automation rather than a more conspicuous prompt to update.

Incentivized

• one of the prompt in windows users is not vissible, somethimes users missed it and you must start from scratch
• more documentation for apple users
• never could record a session, all the time was a permissions issue, don't know how to do it

• Not sure if we are able to display multiple screens at the same time. For example the server and some workstations. I know we can click back and forth easily, but not sure if we can display them at the same time.

It may not be used often in our smaller organization but it really is the only option with a remote workforce. We do not want to learn a new product so it is much better to keep with what we know works well and our staff is used to utilizing

Great product for the price. I would buy it again. We now have 6 licenses of it and it's completely worth the investment.

Action1 has taken many of the tasks that are time consuming and made them simple automated tasks that can be run on a schedule. I can schedule tasks to run off-hours and know that they will be done and I no longer have worry about it. As someone who does IT support for a living, it just makes my job so much simpler with less stress.

I believe that LogMeIn Rescue is extremely suitable for users of all levels of technical prowess. The user interaction is minimal, and the agent is available to take over at every step of the way. From problem resolution to training, LogMeIn Rescue can take care of it all. LogMeIn Rescue makes the user support process easier and faster so the user can have the issues resolved in a timely manner.

I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

It is all just done through email so there is no tracking of tickets but there is not much need since they will respond multiple times a day if needed. I never have any issue with them though. They are very well trained.

very easy to start using it.

Make sure you have your LogMeIn Rescue account sign-in details handy when installing on multiple support systems.

After looking at different solutions, Action1 [Cloud Remote Monitoring and Management Solution] was the perfect fit for us that delivered all of the features we wanted without being as costly as some of the others alternatives we've looked at. There was no minimum endpoint count and they even offer up to 50 endpoints for free, which is really great for a small organization like us to help us lower our starting costs and still allows us to grow at our pace without having to commit to a defined amount of endpoints to start.

Truth be told, Rescue is the first and so far only solution from LogMeIn I started to use. However since it offers a wide range of tools specifically designed for remote support, it is highly effective for resolving technical issues. Additionally, Rescue provides various connection methods and customizable interfaces, allowing support teams like mine to tailor the experience to specific needs.
