offer fast technical support and ensure a secure remote
support session for both the IT professional and the end user. From small
teams of IT helpdesk technicians to enterprise-level organizations, Rescue aims to offer the…
My company has used LogMeIn for so long that it would be extremely time-consuming to completely switch. That being said, it is a superior tool to other remote access software such as TeamViewer. While the competitors are worthy, LogMeIn is still the best in class. That is …
LogMeIn is easier to deploy as no firewall configuration is needed, that said you don't need a full blown engineer to configure access for users. Also, more security measures in place when using dual factor logins. Using LMI, it doesnt matter where a device is as long as it …
The products that I have tested are either over complicated, required too much from the customer to initiate sessions or don't perform as well as LogMeIn. Even though I could possibly save money on a subscription to another product, I find the ease of use and consistency to …
I evaluated TeamViewer but I found LogMeIn to be more self reliant. I don't need someone else to be on the other end of the connection. And if it is a computer you have to manage updates on and other technical maintenance it is a must. I honestly haven't reviewed other software …
LogMeIn Rescue has a more feature-rich environment than TeamViewer and gives the user a better sense of security. It also gives us an easier ability to connect to a machine that is not set up with LogMeIn Pro to use with our LogMeIn Central network of computers. It's a nice …
DeskRoll and Splashtop are more web based interface whereas LogMeIn Rescue is app based. The cost of DeskRoll and Splashtop is excellent in comparison to LogMeIn Rescue.
We have a mix of onsite and remote workers. LogMeIn is very extremely helpful for connecting IT to our users when they have issues or need training. Love that we can install LogMeIn on our machines and connect without having to send links or support codes to our users. It simplifies the process of helping an already frustrated user. We use LogMeIn for shadowing our RDS sessions and prefer it over Microsoft's as LogMeIn handles multi-monitors much better. We have several Engineers that need to connect to various production machines, and we use LogMeIn for this. The Engineers can connect to work with the equipment users to either troubleshoot issues or work on R&D. I Would really like to see some better logging/auditing functions that could be used as part of a defense-in-depth strategy that can be automated to send alerts to the IT department when anomalies are spotted (i..e. unusual logins, too many repeated failed authentications, accounts logging were not supposed to, etc.). Would also like to see some better reporting that could be used as part of incident responses for cyber events that could help with diagnosis and remediation.
Let's say someone a friend or end user calls you up because they're having a hard time installing a software or having a computer issue and you don't want to be wasting time blinding walking them thru steps over the phone or chat, you can easily tell them to go to the rescue link, give them your secure connection code and you're in, ready to resolve their issue
The rescue lens feature has come in handy to save us plenty of times. being able to have eyes on the end users' side to see how things are actually physically connected.
Having the ability to collaborate with other technicians is a feature that I have not seen in other applications. normally the other person has to connect as well which results in lowered connection speed on the end user's side since 2 connections are running.
The tools to be able to locate and audit sessions are also very valuable for measuring the performance of my technicians.
It can be confusing getting some clients connected. The log-in page after clients input the PIN could be clearer. Clients get confused as to whether it is actually downloading or not.
Expand the length of time to successfully make the connection. The 5-minute time-out is not long enough for clients who either have slow internet or are not computer savvy.
Allow non-lead technicians to share the connection with someone else or another technician.
What I dont like is when I run out of licenses that the only way to get more is to buy large amounts. this is very frustrating and as a small business I need to watch how much i am spending. smaller license packs would be better
There is something to be said for familiarity. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. It makes juggling several support sessions at once possible, and even fun. We already have more the 2300 computers out there right now with the calling card installed. It is an excellent backup solution for remote connections when other products will not connect due to spyware or PUPs.
It outperforms other remote support options like Remote Connect. CMD instructions can be executed in the background without bothering the current user. I've used a lot of remote desktop programs, but this one is superior to TeamViewer and AnyDesk. more trustworthy and takes less time. Installing it in administrator mode is possible. It aids in cost reduction since waste is decreased by making sure to choose more suitable software solutions in accordance with a firm's requirements.
LogMeIn Rescue is easy to start and use and does not consume resources on your computer slowing it down. We are also often providing support for non-tech savvy end users who might have a hard time downloading and installing remote access software, especially when firewall warnings start to appear. LogMeIn Rescue's process is intuitive and easy to follow for our users.
During our 6 years of use, we [have] never seen any downtime from their side. The application simply works. We have had incidents when we were not able to connect to remote servers by any means, but LogMeIn Central always worked. It has saved us trips to other offices. We have few users are who live in rural areas where internet speeds are not great. Supporting these users is a big challenge, but LogMeIn Central was always a lifesaver.
Every time I called in with a question or concern, your support team always provided the right information. It's great to call in to support and everyone that answers is very knowledgeable of the product.
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
The most valuable or powerful or reliable feature I'd say it's simplicity and easy to access and complete tasks on time. Its single pane where we have all the control systems, tools and features. I also like how the remote connection is stable and fast. The support is very reliable and top-notch.
We attempted to use Webex and Gotomeeting, but the value and the feature set that Logmein Rescue has is definitely worth the pricing. I believe Logmein Rescue can be improved upon UI-wise, but the actual functionality and licensing terms using recurring sessions vs. seats is a massive plus for them.
