    LogMeIn is way better. It is easier and simpler to use and understand. It is also a platform that allows you to access it on the internet, whereas AnyDesk needs to be installed, so LogMeIn has much more mobility and freedom to move around. It is way more better than AnyDesk.

    It is well suited when dealing with technical related issues. It really helps when assisting cutomers and people who are not tech savvy. It is less appropriate when customers have strict firewalls and restrictions which blocks you from logging into their system. The restrictions makes it really difficult to assist and navigate.

    Cons
    GoTo formerly LogMeIn
    • We are experiencing frequent disconnections with the client; a stable connection would help a lot.
    • The moment the client closes the window, the session disconnects right away. It would be great if accidentally closing didn't disconnect us.
    • Some of our clients require an admin username and password to download the app, and the no-download version does not allow us to use the pointer. It would help if the no-download version could use the pointer, since we provide instructions to clients.

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    GoTo formerly LogMeIn
    • LogMeIn is very cost effective as it allows you to keep functioning without having to travel onsite for every little need. I have personally used it internationally and precluded having to had clients ship in their devices for service saving postage, and downtime of their devices.
    • We have used this tool to clean infected pc's which got hit by malware both onsite and remotely saving time, travel expenses and or shipping by just logging into their pc's and performing tasks and routines to disinfect and remove viruses and malware.
    • Installing, managing and maintaing server upgrades and patches to software as well as preventive maintenace is easy with this tool keeping remote servers and even local servers optimized.
