    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
    • To be able to connect through email or through the website.
    • To be able to remotely control our client's computers.
    • To be able to see what is on our clients' screens after a remote session has been established.
    • To be able to chat with our clients through both the web and the desktop app versions in case we get disconnected.

    • It works even if there is no internet at client location. It will record all the generated data and only send them to cloud storage when there is internet connection.
    • It allows you to bring cloud functionality down to Edge location in the form of docker container.
    • It also supports two way communication from device to cloud and vice-versa.

    Cons
    GoTo formerly LogMeIn
    • 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.

    • For some reason, the containerized architecture was also making this very hard
    • Had some issues when debugging edge modules, needs a professional grade remote debugging
    • Industrial automation still requires attention. OPC-UA was good but Modbus or custom PLCs etc was painful to set up

    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
    GoTo formerly LogMeIn
    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.

    Most of the time it works perfectly, does not require any attention, but when there is a problem, it's really hard to diagnose it. I think the documentation for the positive scenarios are good on the Microsoft side, but for negative scenarios, I don't think there is enough community help out there, in my opinion.

    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.

    Teams is less secure and poses a higher risk of exposing tech Support and clients to additional sharing of info, i.e., face and personal email addresses; however, Teams is used when the client has a firewall that prevents rescue and no IT support nearby to bypass or enter the firewall password.

    The reason Behind this is the cost, as Microsoft provides solutions and integrations of services cheaper than AWS.

    • 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 speedy response time of LogMeIn Rescue has been very helpful in resolving issues for IT staff.
    • The administrative process has been made more efficient by the ability to remotely log into servers.
