DeskRoll Remote Desktop vs. LogMeIn Pro by GoTo

During the pandemic, our company worked remotely. Various staff in our company had technical difficulties or needed assistance installing software in order to work. DeskRoll Remote Desktop helped us to make this process seamless. Rather than deal with the aggravation of trying to walk someone through something over the phone, we were able to get things established in a simple, easy way.

LogMeIn Pro is very well suited for small-to-medium sized organisations. The pricing is affordable and the implementation is easier. There are some concerns related to data privacy and security, hence I would not advise this to be used when your session handles PHI and PII kind of data, just to be compliant.

• Ability to remote in at any time
• Can support unlimited clients with hardware and software issues
• Multiple remote client logins
• Cost!

• Ease of connection. You can use their web login and connection through there. You can also install the client app and connect via it. Easy and fast.
• Remote Control is fantastic. It scales the screens great. There is no lag in the screen refreshes.
• Remote printing is good. You can be working on your PC at the office via LogMeIn and print to your local PC at your current location with ease.

• It could be more cost-effective.
• It could include better "help" or "how-to" sections for people who are not as tech savvy.

• Slow customer service - we know more about their product than whoever we talk to whenever we call in
• It does not always keep the settings during session unless we disconnect and reconnect with the new settings.
• Troubleshooting using LogMeIn is minimal. It either works or doesn't, there is not a backup/alternative method for connectivity.

It works great

Only giving a 9 rather than 10 due to the occasional issue after LogMeIn runs updates, and sometimes I have to walk end-user (on Macs) through "allowing" access to services - have not encountered that on PCs

Always there as long as there is an internet connection

It loads quickly,

My calls and e-mails to tech support have been few and far between, but those rare interactions were always pleasant and handled professionally. Most support can be accessed electronically, but when the need arises to actually speak to a human being, LogMeIn's customer service reps are clearly well-trained and knowledgeable. Another plus: there isn't the language barrier that I've experienced with other technology companies' support centers.

Be aware if you have dual monitors on the host, you can only view one at a time on remote, but it is easy to toggle back and forth

Cost, ease of use, file transfer and chat capabilities.

ConnectWise is a much easier program to use. The end-user either types in a code or you send an email with a link to the session. A small applet is installed on their computer so you can connect. And this applet is removed when the session is over. Constant remote access capabilities are about the same since both programs allow you to install a program that runs as a service on the client system. This gives you access to that system at any time.

The view is a little blurry. The resolution could be better

• It saved time, which always saves money!
• It allowed us to save money on additional software licensing - we now use Quickbooks through the use of DeskRoll Remote Desktop.
• DeskRoll Remote Desktop allowed us to transition to work-from-home easily, which saved us valuable time during the pandemic.

Incentivized

• Save time
• Improve customer satisfaction as we can involve the entire team any time and from any place to solve clients' problems
• It effects clients' satisfaction negatively if the internet is not strong enough, as we can't connect to solve their problems
