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.Incentivized
Due to its perpetual licensing model, VMware Fusion is a great option for users whose needs do not change as much over time. It is also great for occasional-use scenarios such as testing and preparing code to run on newer platforms. Fusion is not really recommended for running graphics-intense applications as graphics acceleration in Fusion is fairly limited in both performance and API support. It has, however, come a very long way and offers near-native performance for many tasks.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Allows users to run Windows only applications on their Mac without switching devices.Fusion is excellent for Windows image creation, and works exceptionally well on the Mac environment.Assists a Mac user to virtualize Windows apps.Excellent for installing Linux distros for penetration testing.Incentivized
Slow customer service - we know more about their product than whoever we talk to whenever we call inIt 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.Incentivized
With OSX - 10.14.1 and the latest version of Fusion - 11.0.2 the user interface has taken a step back IMHO.I would like to see price decrease.Better remote host connection capabilities - remote server connections are available but connections are spotty.Incentivized
It works greatIncentivized
For Apple workstations VMware Fusion is the virtualization software to use. No other application (free or paid) can do what Fusion can. The features and constant updates make Fusion an application that cant be beat.Incentivized
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 PCsIncentivized
Sometimes the best surprise is no surprise and Fusion is just that. It's reliable and generally just works as expected every time (the only exception was running a boot camp install directly but that use-case scenario opens a can of worms due to how product activation works) The interface and settings are clean and simple and there is no hide and seek games to play.Incentivized
Always there as long as there is an internet connectionIncentivized
It loads quickly,Incentivized
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.Incentivized
I have never contacted VMware, but there is a lot of support online on message boards, forums, StackOverflow, YouTube tutorial videos, and the like. VMware has been around nine years longer than its leading competitor, VirtualBox, although both seem to have a good presence of online user communities who can help solve issues that come up.Incentivized
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 forthIncentivized
This is a workstation application and no install insights are needed.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
I've heard of other/competitive software but frankly once I tried VMware, I never looked back. There is absolutely nothing that I need that this product does not deliver. It's fast, effective and seems to be extremely durable and reliable. My only concern (and minor) might have to do with memory resources, but frankly it has not been an issue yet.Incentivized
The view is a little blurry. The resolution could be betterIncentivized
Save timeImprove customer satisfaction as we can involve the entire team any time and from any place to solve clients' problemsIt effects clients' satisfaction negatively if the internet is not strong enough, as we can't connect to solve their problemsIncentivized
Users using a VM often don't need something as "fancy" as VMware Fusion, and instead can use a free option like Virtual Box, so we waste money on using an extra amount of VMware Fusion licenses.Developers using and IT admins using VMware Fusion for testing saves us time and money. Simply, we know mistakes would take time and money to fix, but VMware is powerful, allows for proper and fast testing.Incentivized
