LogMeIn Resolve vs. Syncro

LogMeIn is well-suited for scenarios where remote support is needed. For example, a user submits a ticket about having an issue with Microsoft Word being unable to open documents on their PC. Since this is just a software issue on the device, LogMeIn is great for being able to fix the issue. Scenarios, I would say LogMeIn Resolve is not as well-suited for inventory management. But that's only because my organization has a proprietary system to manage assets.

The good is pretty good when it comes to Syncro. Window patching works well. They add features often. No hidden fees and good pricing. The bad, are inconvenient when it comes to Syncro but could be worse. Reporting does not look good. Support only through email. There are no forums or network scanning/SNMP

• Performs well for remote access in terms of speed - there isn't much lag on fast networks.
• Provides an easy way to share files with the client which stramlines the support process.
• GoTo Support has been responsive when I've needed help.

• Decent UI
• Things generally work
• Not too expensive

• More flexibility with customizing the agent dashboard
• Change the support interface to make simultaneous remote session a bit more accessible on the left-side menu
• Include detailed instructions on the agent's screen when helping a Mac user run through all the necessary permissions needed to connect

• Ticketing. Whilst the ticketing system works, it is fairly basic compared to specific ticketing solutions. Some improvements here would be great.
• Remote Management - granular options on accounts. You are unable to have some clients or systems which do not require a password for remote access, whilst having this set for other clients/accounts. This makes it a problem if you want to use the remote management component on servers where there is no one available to approve access
• Better "built in" remote access software. Whilst the base remote access software works and that the system integrates with larger remote management vendors, some improvements to the remote management component would be beneficial

To us, it just works. and it is what our users are comfortable with. It covers all the remote issues that we as an IT department encounter. We have grown to like it and we also have grown to like the Citrix product family. We really can't find anything that would keep us from renewing.

The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate. Common actions are easy to locate and exactly where I would expect them to be. Starting a remote session is quick and smooth, which reduces the time users need to wait before receiving support. I also appreciate the single-pane dashboard showing remote access, session details, and device information.

The overall value of Syncro is good due to cost of software and the things that it does do well. However, there are some limitations that will be frustrating and may require extra software or time to complete or format in other platforms. So, can cause some setbacks to some organizations but be work well for others, based on their needs

Usually available without a problem, although sometimes calls get dropped or users sit in empty meeting rooms while waiting for an admin to arrive, while the call is actually going on.

If you are connected to someone with proper bandwidth, there are no issues at all. With all things, if you connect to someone with dial-up (yes, it still exists), the performance is terrible.

The software runs well overall once installed. It is easy to use and very intuitive from both the technician standpoint and the customer standpoint. There are not a lot of problems or issues with the software, and it doesn't have a big effect on system resources once installed, or when running. It would not be a 10 since the cost of the licensing is one drawback

GoToAssist SeeIt was very easy to implement. As long as your techs have a basic understanding of most remote support tools they will be able to understand this product easily.

Although the SolarWinds help desk worked well for our help desk and inventory purposes, it did not provide remote access ability or remote execution of executable files or scripts. We were looking for a product that integrated all of these tasks in order to simplify our day to day IT functions.

Syncro does not have every bell or whistle (especially when compared with Kaseya VSA). However from a cost versus feature perspective, Syncro wins hands down. Syncro versus Atera - they are very similar products and also use the per agent pricing. This was a big driver for us and Syncro came out at cheaper priced option. Atera does have more features and is a more mature product - however the features that we required were perfect in SyncroMSP

The system was implemented quite quickly and easily.

• A positive ROI, the expansive remote abilities allow a minimum of 90% of our IT work without sending a technician to the location.
• 10% of our technicians travel to locations while 90% are home-based. (Office or Home).
• We used to have multiple techs attending one customer location physically (brainstorming does happen during a fire). We are now able to send multiple technicians to the same call 'virtually' without the cost of actually sending them.

• Saved us hundreds of dollars switching from previous provider
