LogMeIn Pro by GoTo vs. Splashtop

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.

Well suited for: Accessing a computer in a flash to assist with a technical issue. Accessing a computer to organize files or gain access to files. Accessing a computer to help someone setup their screen and being able to toggle between multiple monitors with ease.

• Ease of connection. You can use their web login and connection through there. You can also install the client app and connect via it. Easy and fast.
• Remote Control is fantastic. It scales the screens great. There is no lag in the screen refreshes.
• Remote printing is good. You can be working on your PC at the office via LogMeIn and print to your local PC at your current location with ease.

• Connection speed. Users have reported very little latency (and I have verified this myself administering a work server from home).
• Support. The sales and technical support departments at Splashtop have been extremely helpful and very quick to respond to inquiries or requests. Samuel Frescas and Aaron Changeur both are excellent to work with and go above and beyond to assist.
• Ease of setup. Installation consists of two pieces of software installed on applicable devices (device remoting from and device remoting to). Users are invited by email, create their own accounts, and can then be assigned to their individual laptop and desktop workstations. Setup for each user was able to be completed within the span of 15 minutes, from account creation to remoting into their workstation.
• Account management. Admins have comprehensive control over users and endpoints. All aspects of this are configurable and straightforward.

• 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.

• When a remote system goes offline it takes a minute or more for the status to show in the application's list of computers.
• The configuration options for the remote access are numerous and sometimes hard to understand. Sometimes it's hard to find an option.

It works great

I believe that I will renew Splashtop without any problems in the coming years as eating stable costs without increases even in critical periods such as the Covid virus, Splashtop allows access to 25 unattended stations and has continuous updates and new features. It also allows resale to users with sub-accounts

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.

It's hard to find any significant faults with Splashtop. It offers a very responsive remote access experience with clear and simple interface. There's very little learning curve as it's toolbar mimics other popular remote access solutions graphical user interface. It's gives you access to your remote computer quickly and stays out of your way

Always there as long as there is an internet connection

I've never had any issues with it, nor any connectivity issues. They always say when they'll be maintaining the system and it's always in the odd hours, so nobody uses then. But I've never had any issues.

It loads quickly,

Pages and servers load fast, normal speed. It doesn't lag or anything like that. I don't integrate it with anything else.

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.

Tickets lingered in the support queue. Our environment is complex and some solutions never work in it but inconsistency and long turn around time on seemingly simple support issues force our pursuit of alternative solutions. Our environment is atypical and should not be used as a litmus test for solutions however we found the support issues were more wide spread with other orgs voicing the same delays.

Be aware if you have dual monitors on the host, you can only view one at a time on remote, but it is easy to toggle back and forth

It couldn't have been any easier to setup and I have had no issues with it since it was implemented. It's a great product and makes remotely connecting to another device so simple and quick. I can't recommend it enough

Incentivized

LogMeIn works well for small number of devices that need unattended remote access. For cost, LogMeIn in similar to GoToMyPC - works about the same - has similar features for about same cost

Splashtop Business Enterprise is actually easier to implement and get it up and running, all users have to do is download the standard or personalize file and run it, then share the code with you and you are all set to go, i like it because you can even do it from your phone if necessary

The view is a little blurry. The resolution could be better

It's a product that allows us to work remotely and access our servers from anywhere in the world. Our team works from different parts of the world and it's a great tool for us.

• Save time
• Improve customer satisfaction as we can involve the entire team any time and from any place to solve clients' problems
• It effects clients' satisfaction negatively if the internet is not strong enough, as we can't connect to solve their problems

Incentivized

• It has made supporting remote workers seamless and easier if we did not have it.
• Has saved a lot of time that would have been spent trying to get users to accurately describe their issue.
• Easy enough to use that even someone who isn't super tech savvy can use if needs be.
