    LogMeIn Rescue offers a range of products tailored to various remote access use cases. LogMeIn Pro and LogMeIn Rescue both enable remote desktop access, but serve distinct remote access situations. 

    LogMeIn Pro can serve as a more fo a self-service remote access tool for non-IT specialists to use, most commonly in SMBs. Users can access their own desktops remotely, as well as office IoT devices like printers and other devices that facilitate day-to-day office work. In contrast, LogMeIn Rescue is specialized for remote IT support. 

    Features

    LogMeIn Pro and Rescue both have strengths tailored to their respective use cases. 

    LogMeIn Pro is for less technically specialized users who need to remotely access their own devices. While can also function as a support tool, it uniquely enables more casual end-users to access their own desktops or secondary office resources, such as printers. Reviews highlight Pro’s excellent file transfer and management capabilities, which are crucial for end-user functionality. Its native integration with LastPass also makes password management across devices much easier. 

    LogMeIn Rescue is the ideal LogMeIn product for remotely supporting internal and external end-users. The tool is designed to serve a business’s internal users and customers alike. To facilitate this wide audience, Rescue offers multiple methods through which end-users can enable remote access to their devices. It also allows for configurable permissions levels so support specialists can perform all of the necessary support actions. 

    Limitations

    There are some drawbacks to LogMeIn Pro and Rescue worth keeping in mind. 

    LogMeIn Pro is perceived to be relatively expensive by many reviewers. The cost may be more of a limiting factor if users are not able to make use of the full range of capabilities that Pro offers. Pro’s performance on Mac devices is also lower than PC counterparts. This weakness is particularly pronounced in quality of life factors like screen resolution. 

    On the other hand, LogMeIn Rescue is not designed for line of business users to self-serve remote access. For example, implementing the tool as an administrator or as the remote accessor is more difficult than simply installing the support agent as an end-user. The user interface also lacks the aesthetics and user-friendliness that non-specialists would expect in their day-today-day tools. 

    Pricing

    LogMeIn Pro has three pricing plans. Pro for Individuals, priced at $30/month, allows access for up to 2 computers, remote access and printing, file storage, and multi-monitor displays, plus a free license to LastPass Premium. The Power Users plan, at $70/month, allows access for up to 5 computers and 3 free LastPass Premium licenses. The Small Businesses plan, at $129/month, adds access for up to 10 computers and 5 LastPass Premium licenses. 

    LogMeIn Rescue is priced at $108.25/month/license, with $37.50/month/license for mobile support as an add-on.

    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.

    LogMeIn is extremely appopriate when you have to perform something remotely or mutltask and perform work from your location. It gives you the ability to almost be at the site and perform work. While LogMeIn is an excellent toolkit. It can not always save the day. Sometimes it is more efficient to be on site to perform hardware upgrades, multiple software upgrades, technology refresehes and or have someone send you their hardware for rescue and repair as it is too messed up to fix and or perform the tasks remotely. However if you win 60 percent of the time - it's still a great benefit

    Pros
    GoTo formerly LogMeIn
    • LogMeIn Pro by GoTo offers unattended remote access that’s reliable and always available. You can securely log in to a client’s device (Windows or macOS) from anywhere, even without them present.....as long as their machine is on.
    • You can transfer files during a session without disrupting work. I've also transferred some pretty large files at times without issues.
    • I like the dashboard as it makes it easy to manage and organize multiple devices across our client base. You can see online/offline status, access machines instantly, and share access with your team all in one easy to view place

    Cons
    GoTo formerly LogMeIn
    • 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.

    • By default it would be good to have clipboard sync enabled - disabled instead. So difficult when copying from my computer doesn’t work because of an agent sharing the connection and it will not let us copy information into the client’s computer.
    • Copying into excel is difficult. It will deselect things that you have highlighted when copying.
    • Would be nice to make the hierarchy easier when sharing files between clients and us.
    • Logging into certain environments can be challenging and require customers to be fairly techy to be able to understand how to get logged into client’s computers.
    • Sometimes login is pretty unstable on certain internet connections even though they are fine when they use team viewer with their IT.

    Since we have not had anything other than a couple minor hiccups with LogMeIn Rescue and due to the overwhelming success we have had in implementing as well as utilizing LogMeIn Rescue, I cannot see any reason why would consider looking elsewhere. Overall, we have been highly satisfied with LogMeIn Rescue and have no intentions of making a switch.

    Usability

    I will give a Rating of 10 for LogMeIn Pro by GoTo's overall usability because it has a centralized Dashboard to access all machines and servers and a very user-friendly User Interface. Also, the remote connectivity is very smooth and reliable as if you are working on your local desktop or laptop.

    Sometimes connecting with a PIN has a delay that confuses users. If there is a way to minimize the delay, that would be ideal. If the user's individual account does have administrator permissions, the user has to click on elevated prompts even if administrator credentials are on hand. Yes, except if the user's individual account does not have administrator permissions. I have never gotten the option to input the admin credentials and start as system server to work across hundreds of sessions. I absolutely dread using LogMeIn Rescue during this type of scenario and may even need to use an alternative temporarily. Frequently clashes with users' security software. Otherwise, I love the application.

    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.

    We have never had to access support because the software has always worked as expected. It is great to have a software vendor from whom we know we will have no issue with glitches or incompatibility. We do know, however, that if we did have an issue, we would have our issue resolved quickly.

    I haven’t reviewed other platforms like LogMeIn Rescue because I am not aware of any alternative tools available to us for assisting clients and performing troubleshooting.

    • Great to allow workers to work from home. They have remote access easily and can do quick fixes without driving to the office.
    • Hard for supervisors to control work hours. Supervisors do not know when the workers are really working.
    • Being able to even access remotely via smartphone has been impactful to trouble shooting. Your main go to person is traveling and no access to a PC or internet. They can use their smartphone to remote back to the office and fix a quick issue.

    • For businesses with small to midsize IT staff, the ability to remotely control devices that are not on-site and occasionally out of state is extremely cost-effective.

    • The administrative process has been made more efficient by the ability to remotely log into servers.
