Likelihood to Recommend Not all of our team members are as PC computer savvy as we would like, Rescue allows any issue that arises to be quickly and correctly solved the first time no matter the level of comfort with our systems. We have not come across any situations where it did not work for our set up.
Read full review If a colleague needs reliable, fast, easy to manage and easy to learn remote support software, then this is it. If you need a remote support app that just installs and works, it literatlly can be set up in seconds. Open, offer remote support, get code and send it to the other side. The only time I would not recommend ISL Light is if my colleague need remote connect software just to connect to one non essential machine - like home media computer. For that I would suggest some free software. But as soon you need to connect to couple of computers or much more that ISL Light would be the only recommendation.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Allow remote control of Windows, Mac, Android and iOS Automatically record support / remote sessions Allow UAC easy control remotely Auto-recognize the OS of the client, to download the correct remote file for them to execute Very fast connection speed (initial connect, and on-going session speed) Allowing us to use our own website AND the islonline.net in case there are issues Read full review Cons 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 Read full review I would like the chat not to get in the way during the sessions, although it is something not so important if it could be seen better. Something in the design does not look so modern, I would like its interface to look more attractive. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We may continue using Logmein as it is the best remote support application in terms of connection latency and control. However, since several of our client sites have stricter security policies they block this application and we have to switch to other ways which is inconvenient
Read full review We are renew the license for 10 years now and we do not see why would change that. It just gets better with every new version.
Read full review Usability 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.

Read full review Support Rating 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
Read full review We had issues with mouse skipping on mobile devices. Support is immediatly availabe, they examined our case and in one of the new versions of the app this problem was gone.
Read full review Implementation Rating Make sure you have your LogMeIn Rescue account sign-in details handy when installing on multiple support systems.
Read full review Alternatives Considered UI (user interface) is pretty easy to use, you can use rescue from a desktop version or the web when others such as dameware you needed to have the software installed and the affected user needed to be on VPN, so you could take over their system.
TeamViewer is good but with Rescue you can link your chat support team members and rescue to work from the same system. Other benefits in rescue is that you can add Ticket to track your IT personnel usage for reporting purpose. For instance if you want to track-down how many sessions the agent A did on a day and link the Ticket from your ITSM system with the information in rescue. I didn't see this option in other tools

Read full review Return on Investment We kept our help desk staff to a minimum since we no longer needed a tech on each floor. Time of resolution went up 65% since our techs were able to quickly see the problem and resolve [it]. We no longer needed additional software to transfer files, saving us up to $5000 in subscription fees. Read full review Saves time: able to help our customers right-away. No need to visit them physically Fastest aid in problem-solving: customer happy and more likely to return Negative: not much negativity about ISL Light, although I get even less in-person contact with clients :-) Read full review ScreenShots LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo Screenshots
