Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review I would neither recommend nor dissuade anyone from using Join.Me. When it first came on the scene, it was a game-changer as far as providing remote access to other authorized individuals and helped save a great deal of time trying to walk someone less proficient through all the detailed steps of computer repair. However, with the proliferation of Zoom and other conferencing products that also provide built-in remote access through its service, the need for a separate application is now limited and not as essential as its own product.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review No need to download anything to get started. Once you sign up you can get started from within your browser. This is probably the single best feature, its a get up and go solution for video conferencing and you do not need any software for it to work. The one click join a meeting URL is genius. Users who struggle with remembering passwords or invites can just click a link and immediately participate in a meeting which means one email and a couple of clicks and a meeting can start. Good control features - As the main user, you have many control features including deciding who can speak, annotations, screen sharing easily. Screen Recordings to the Cloud - This can save on time when you have had a long conference, you can save a recording to the cloud and download it later. Read full review Cons 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 Read full review There should be a complete guide to understand its features before installation because if one feature will be missed then, we can’t get them working properly. Furthermore, there should be high-quality internet for getting its function and it won’t work without good network coverage. I think its interface is a little hard for beginners and is not that user friendly. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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
Read full review This platform enables a very high ROI for the solution that it provides to our team to support our end-users.
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Join.me is one of the easiest programs I've ever used. It's so easy to get it set up and installed and even easier for someone to join a meeting. The controls are very intuitive and labeled appropriately. The UIX makes sense. It's been a reliable product in my app stack-I love it!

Read full review Support Rating 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
Read full review I honestly haven't reached out to their Support team. I get notifications of what they are working on which is good to see, but I haven't directly spoken with any of them. I think my main reason for this is that join.me gives me just what I need (not much more and not much less).
Read full review Implementation Rating Make sure you have your LogMeIn Rescue account sign-in details handy when installing on multiple support systems.
Read full review This is a fairly simple product which doesn't require much "implementation" work for our use cases.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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
Read full review If you're looking for something basic that handles a little bit of everything when it comes to meetings, screen shares and remote desktop control join.me is a great options. If you're a super user and really wanting a lot of detailed features and rich user interfaces and money is not an issue you may want to consider use specific options.

Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Customer support solution - join.me has made it so much easier to quickly get with a customer and see their trouble and show them a solution. This saves lots of back and forth time and gives the customer more power over owning their solution. More efficient communication - without join.me we would waste time going back and forth on emails or slack trying to get our message across. Join.me lets us quickly show AND tell others what's going on. I honestly don't know how we ever functioned without it. Read full review ScreenShots LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo Screenshots
