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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
