LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo vs. N-able Take Control

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.

I have used a number of remote access systems over my IT/MSP career, and Take Control stands out as the best I have ever used. If you are using the N-Able RMM I highly recommend, Take Control over the other options that can be integrated into the platform

• 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.

• Take Control is really good at accessing a device with no end-user involvement. The user doesn't have to click on permissions or visit a particular site. We simply can take control of their device from the RMM dashboard.
• If Microsoft issues a patch/update, I can schedule a release of a mass install to all client sites at the click of a mouse from within my office.

• 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

Incentivized

• Performance on low-end machines.
• Verbosity when changing stream quality.
• File manager needs improving, dragging files causes graphical issues.
• Connection time needs to be reduced.
• Ability to adjust re-connection time.
• Integration with more password-storage applications.
• Screen blanking is buggy in some instances and makes the session unusable.

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

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.

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

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

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

We were primarily a team-viewer customer before this point but the continued increases on cost, feature issues as well as core functionality and load issues we were beginning to see on the host machines we started looking for other options. As we were already a solar-winds customer utilizing the SAAS and Take Control for our Managed customers it was a no-brainer to look into Take Control. After a short review and the fact that we are already very familiar with the system via our management dashboard, it was an easy yes

it's perfect

• 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.

• We we're able to bundle Take Control into our RMM pricing removing the need to pay for a separate system and maintain its intergration
• Remote access is only a click away saving our techs time
• Reliable connection mean issues are resolved without having to 'fix' the remote access first
