Currently my whole team is working remotely, for handling the production machines and to resolve the issue while doing the production we are using the LogMeIn Rescue. This tool has solved major problems of working remotely that is you don't have to be present physically to resolve the encountered error or bugs and you can fix those problem remotely irrespective of your location.
  • Multiple instances of Remote control
  • dashboard for detailed overview of all stats
  • secure remote access to machines
  • clipboard synchronization and file transfer
  • simultaneous instance of single machine by agents
  • prompt frequency of signature key for security
  • session transfer speed among agents
On the live production it is necessary that the machines are not affected or prompted upon the remote access. With the help of LogMeIn rescue after taking the session and observing the bots, the production doesn't gets impacted and the issues get resolved in real-time giving us better productivity and saving time

It is a comprehensive solution that facilitates remote management of devices. It is compatible with all operating systems. It is highly useful for client management, even those distributed across continents where physical intervention is more challenging. Helps in saving time and money. We can access the machine without any interaction from the client. Help to intervene before the client calls.
  • easy install.
  • remote access.
  • Multiple way of connection.
  • fast learning curve.
  • mobile client.
  • grant admin privileges.
  • screen recording.
We need to connect to various retail outlets scattered throughout the territory quickly, without the interaction of a person on the terminal side. This allows us to swiftly install patches, restart, and interact with our systems. We are also implementing the solution on Linux platforms. It's easy to implement everything using one place.

We use Rescue to enable us to provide timely support for our clients. Having direct access to our clients systems is critical in allowing us to diagnose and fix common issues with their PC. It allows us to capture data and quickly resolve complicated problems that otherwise would be difficult to walk a customer through without accessing their PC.
  • Quick and easy of use for our clients to download and run the app
  • Provide quick download options for data gathering for investigative purposes
  • Allow unattended access for upgrades and configuration changes without customer input
  • Unexplained delays when transferring sessions between agents
  • Periodic crashing while establishing connection or accepting a transferred session
  • Better prompts for customers to be able to locate the downloaded apps without having to check download history
Considering my role is supporting our software product installed on clients PCs, Rescue allows full access to our customer's system. That allows us to be able to troubleshoot and diagnose problems that the customer is not able to do so on their own. It also allows us to deploy updates and small scripts that make our software better and more reliable.

I currently use LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo to support our users IT related issues. LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo is a godsent when it comes to remedying technical issues and has many great features. I would like to see some upgrades for better access to remoting into mobile devices, since the last time But short of that LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo is truly an asset in the technology world!
  • Love that you can remote into mobile devices (cellphones)
  • Love the tech collaboration of sharing sessions
  • Also the file transfer aspect
  • And remote starting of users PC and the ability to see PC prior to them logging in
  • The ability for remoting into mobile devices many features within do not work once connected to users cell or tablet, mainly apple devices, even with user granting access.
  • Would like to not have to go through web to sign in (2 Step process)prefer to just use desktop ver. to login but when my company started using SSO we had to sign in via web. Now we no longer use SSO but LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo desktop still reverts back to making us sign in via web

We have remote computers connected to our meteorological station along our research stations. The unattended access allow us to check the integrity of the data every day.

Also, because we don't have permanent IT personnel in our research stations,the access with UAC controls allow us to have unrestricted access privileges without let the users know administrator passwords
  • Access computers without people close to them
  • Give support to users with all privileges even in limited accounts
  • Help with unattended access to People With Special Abilities (parkinson)
  • File transfer between computers
  • 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
To give access to people with special abilities.
Before Rescue, we last at least 20 minutes trying to access the screen of a colleague with limited movement (just view it), now we just ask for permission and we are connected in les than 3 minutes.

The file transfer is an amazing tool. Thanks for give us such an easy way to transfer files between machines.

When a client needs their product's issue to be investigated and troubleshot, I use LogMeIn rescue as it is the best and easy to work on. Plus, it gives the feature to share the files and to add other mentors or colleagues to assist.
  • File Sharing
  • Remote Access
  • Join a Collaboration Session
  • Schedule a session
  • Notification regarding the same
  • Audio
  • Screen Recording
When I have to go on a live remote session and share the files it is the best platform.

And when I have to schedule a remote session, I have to use a different platform like Teams or WebEx.

I use Rescue at least 25 times a day, and so do other folks within my organization. The purpose of our software company is to assist in pharmacy success and ensure accurate and timely processing of prescriptions for the client(s), in order to ensure patients are receiving the medication to stay healthy. Throughout my time working at this organization, I have found that the following are constant issues: 1. The nomenclature filter when searching - it does not narrow down the search based on criteria inputted, instead it expands the search. This is less than optimal because a lot of pharmacies have "pharmacy" in their name. 2. From the UX/UI perspective, there is no way to identify an out-of-date server or session other than looking at the date range of "last accessed". 3. Recording Sessions constantly freeze or close you out of the session once you select "record". Overall, this increases call volume significantly and it is hard to troubleshoot issues with a pharmacy that has a high call volume and are already thin as far as labor is concerned. 4. On average, I have to close my Rescue app down at least two-three times a day in order to complete my work. It is really difficult to meet metrics and serve patients when these issues persist on a daily basis. I hope this helps.
  • Transfer Sessions
  • Recording
  • Screen Capture
  • Nomenclature filter
It is less appropriate to use when a user is familiar with the software and they are able to be walked through an issue over a call. It is more appropriate to use when a user is unfamiliar with the software/issue and they need to show us the data with Rescue in order to determine if further troubleshooting is required.

Used to remotely control and troubleshoot user computers.
  • UAC for admin sign-in during software installs/un-installs and/or other admin actions
  • Connecting to computers on the internal network
  • File transfers
  • clipboard for copy paste, this doesn't work for me most of the time
Sending a link or code to remote users to start a support session works well. Using it to connect to online computers on the internal network is good.

Trying to reach computers not on the network without sending out a link or code doesn't work at all.

Using Rescue to support all our users across the globe, from simple workstation issues to more complex problems.
We have been using Rescue for many years and it was always been really reliable in helping us get our job done, from the remote session to all the other tools that come with it, such as file transfer and call transferring.
It really helps us help our users.
  • Remote desktop sharing
  • Administrative rights elevation
  • File transfers
  • Technician transfers
  • Simpler menu navigation/buttons
With many people still working from home, any remote users benefit a lot from this.

We use Rescue on the help desk to support 1000+ clients, we find it works great for us as an on-demand tool, as well as the unattended option. The ease of navigating the user to the website to simply enter a code reduces our time to connect and start investigating. The unattended access is great for servers and generic PCs, which we have this installed on to allow us to connect on securely and easily.
  • On-demand remote connections
  • Unattended connections
  • File transfers
  • Chat between client and agent
  • The price point is pretty high, especially for a larger team
Rescue is perfectly suited to helpdesk environments where the need to connect to so many different devices, so often, is high. A quick and seamless method is required to assist the client most efficiently and Rescue does this. Occasionally, if a PC is particularly locked down with various security policies Rescue can occasionally face issues, but this is rare as its able to overcome most issues.

I've often used Rescue as a way to remote in to a client's computer either for assistance with software issues, or to help them navigate sites. It's fairly easy to use, although some of my customer's have had issues with me remoting in because they were not familiar with the software.
  • Remote log in to customer's computer to help navigate issues they're having
  • Easy going log in if the customer is familiar with how to use the application
  • Using a chat window to communicate with the customer if phone service isn't an option
  • It can be difficult for customer's to use if they've never used a remote software before
  • When working with/on customer systems, sometimes they're hesitant to download an .exe file due to spam
It's fairly simple software if you're at least mildly computer savvy. It does make it easier to show customers where they need to go or trouble shoot issues a customer might have.

We use rescue to take control of our customer's machines to facilitate installations as well as diagnosing/repairing software issues. We also use it to gather data and screen shots for development purposes as well as view demonstrations of what the customers are looking for when requesting features or new functionality. This also comes in handy when handling general tech issues with my colleagues since most of us work from home.
  • Remote control of customer desktops
  • Reconnect after a reboot
  • File transfer speeds are slow
  • Reconnecting after rebooting can be tricky
  • Sometimes customers can be confused as to the next step after downloading the executable.
Rescue works great in my situation where I work from home and service customer machines. It appears to securely allow control while giving the customer the power to disconnect me at any time should they need to, giving them peace of mind as well. It's ability to be used to connect to any where from anywhere is also great and lends flexibility.

It is essential. I couldn't possibly envision doing my job properly without it. Before this software, I used to drive to my peers' locations and help them out of jams; now they know I am just a couple of clicks away. It's the one annual expense I have that I am always happy to spend. It is used by the IT department, including all internal user-facing teams. The tool is a time saver, easy to use, and very user-friendly. It helps in addressing remote troubleshooting issues or cases professionally and efficiently. It also helps improve business.
  • Remote to end users system.
  • End to End file sharing.
  • Chat window during remote session.
  • And session connectivity irrespective of restarts and network disconnections.
  • Stability and compatibility.
  • More efficient and user friendly UI for technicians
  • Auto launch of LogMeIn session after sharing the link or code
  • Calling and recording feature can be implemented
In my organizational need, I tend to the needs of users inside the office and outside. LogMeIn Rescue seamlessly allows me to take over my users' computers and address their needs wherever I happen to be. Quite frankly, it is the most important software I use. Not only can I control the user's computer remotely, but the Rescue Console also allows me to peek inside the file directory. This allows me to move and transfer files directly between our two computers. It really is so seamless that my users feel like I'm right in front of them, assisting them with the IT issues.

We use the Rescue remote control application to take control of the end user's computer and provide remote support for any software-related difficulties or requests. It's highly practical and easy to use; all you have to do is email the link or instruct the customer to visit a rescue URL, exchange the code, and in less than 4 minutes you can connect to their devices and view what they see in real time from their end.
Furthermore, you can use to invite other coworkers to assist you in troubleshooting the affected computer by simply looking them up in the address book or sending the invitation directly from Rescue. Other features of the program include the ability to export computer details, remotely reboot the device, and transfer files between your machine and the end user. The user does not need to be connected to a VPN network; all that is required is that they have internet access.





  • Real time connection
  • You can toggle between multiple screens
  • File transfer
  • Display Computer details & up-time
  • You can add drawing on screen like Zoom
  • Shortcut commands in the menu bar to easy access Windows features such as "add/remove programs". "Windows explorer".
Let's say someone a friend or end user calls you up because they're having a hard time installing a software or having a computer issue and you don't want to be wasting time blinding walking them thru steps over the phone or chat, you can easily tell them to go to the rescue link, give them your secure connection code and you're in, ready to resolve their issue.

Very helpful tool when customers aren't on the corporate network or can't connect to the corporate network due to VPN restrictions/limitations/faults. Has the ability to run elevated if you have the right credentials for local admin account enterer. Great tool for transferring required files for troubleshooting and does automatically re-establish connection should the network drop, which is common in my supported locations.
  • Reconnects on connection drop.
  • Supports file transfer.
  • Allows running elevated hence can control elevated applications.
  • Supports low-colour or B&W for particularly bad network links.
  • When the connection drops, file transfer fails and does not support the resume function, meaning you have to restart the upload/download for the file rather than the resume left off. Particularly irritating when on connections that are unreliable; in my case - the majority of my clients are in Africa and very remote sites with poor connectivity.
  • Chat feature sometimes shows as unavailable - unable to chat to the customer after connection drops and re-establishes.
  • Sometimes showing as session offline but can actually control customer's machine.
Well suited because it automatically re-establishes connection on network link drop. Sometimes though does not, but the majority of the time, it does. In parallel, sometimes I have control of the machine via Microsoft SCCM remote control tool, and I can see LMI123 dropping out, yet SCCM still maintains connection - not sure what is causing that, but certainly this could be improved. Very handy when you have a machine to restart and don't want to go through the same of explaining to a customer how to connect again, so LMI123 reconnecting on machine reboot is a particularly good feature. It is one of my most favorite tools for controlling pcs in locations with poor network connectivity.

Rescue helps us support our software users remotely. The ability to connect to the end user having an issues is invaluable. Seeing first hand allows us to quickly trouble shoot and resolve issues our users are facing which makes support easier and more effective. Rescue is a solution that meets our needs for making customer support simple for us and the end user.
  • It is simple to use and manage
  • Provides a tool we need to access and work with remote users
  • Allows us to see what the end user is dealing with
  • sharing files to a remote machine
  • The Mac OS app feels a little slow
  • Unattended access can be hard to manage with Mac OS
Rescue allows us to see the end users device and be "onsite: virtually for the user. When we can connect with a user remotely, it allows them to feel like we are there to help and give us a better idea of what the issue they are dealing with. Having "hands on" access gives us the ability to quickly assess, troubleshoot , and provide a solution.

This software is perfect because it is easy to use and offers IT support at any time of the day. This is reliable because there are times you forgot the so many logins you have. Remote users are able to follow the instructions easily and allow the technicians to connect remotely to their machines for troubleshooting. The connection is very quick. Lots of options but I only use the file transfer feature to transfer files I need to install on the remote machine
  • Fast to open
  • Fast to connect
  • No Crashes
  • Make it work on mobile devices
  • nothing to add
My mother calls and states that "nothing is working" With rescue, I am able to log in from my house and see what is going on and assist her. It is always easier to be able to see exactly what the caller sees and not try to build a picture in your head.

We utilize Logmein Rescue to provide a better customer support experience, it allows us to ensure that we are able to not just describe how to do something within our proprietary software, but it allows us to show them, and work with them side-by-side. Logmein Rescue also allows us to take diagnostic information really quickly and easily. We are also able to move files back and forth if needed by our customers. LogmeinRescue has been instrumental in our ability to deliver world-class support.
  • Remote Control PCs.
  • Obtain Windows diagnostic info.
  • Partnering with customers side-by-side via remote viewing.
  • The software's UI is a bit dated.
  • The admin center could use a revamp - too dated.
  • Pricing is premium.
Suited: When a customer is new to our software or newer to Windows in general. This allows us to show and tell vs. just having them try to just listen and attempt to do it. This ensures that we get their issues resolved and gives us an opportunity to find additional issues. Not suited: Mobile users are more limited; it's been limited to screenshot sharing. Definitely more of a desktop app.

We have subscribers to our financial services. They install software on their computer and interact with us via phone and web browser. Customers tend to be older, wealthy, smart individuals who are not really computer savvy. Often they interpret what they see on the screen instead of reading the actual error messages making it impossible to help them without being able actually to see their screen. LogMeIn has many features besides screen viewing. File transfer is really helpful. Placing calling cards on desktops (automatic connect to us) is a nice feature. Being able to transfer them to a more appropriate department in a different city is very helpful. Costs are reasonable. LogMeIn support is good
  • computer Software support
  • Customer training
  • General good customer realtions.
  • Allow me to make a url that I could email to the customer so that would get him connected
  • Allow me to place a link on my webpage that would get the customer connected.
Older customers get set in their ways and cannot even describe what they see going on with their computers. Windows 11 has been a nightmare since it asks customers all kinds of questions that cause limitations and pop-up windows that hide the user's screen. LogMeIn has been slow to provide a more direct way to get connected that cuts through Windows 11 clutter to reach a technician who can help them. However. Once the customer is in. LogMeIn has worked on Windows XP through 11, Servers, virtual machines, Windows Emulation under Apple Mac. In short, impressive compatibility.

With Covid and working from home, we had to implement a better remote support technology for our support teams. We implemented Rescue with no issues. We could even set up unattended access to replace VNC with a more secure platform. Rescue works well and surpasses all the other remote support tools out there. This is now one of the critical user support platforms we use.
  • You can connect to any client from anywhere, no VPN is needed.
  • Features like remote reboot, file sharing, and script functions are very valuable.
  • The logging and admin console functions are really good to see how the tool is being used.
  • We would like larger script or file repositories. At the moment the limit is quite small.
  • Add the option to add some company MSIs that can install with a click of a button, like the SCCM agent for example.
Rescue has a really good set of functions like file sharing, remote reboot options, Running as a Service option, script repository, etc. These are all valuable to support our clients.

We are a software/security Co. and we use LMI Rescue to remote into systems to support our customers, collect logs, and work with Dev on escalations. I stay with LMI because our logs can get large and LMI file transfer is fast and stable.
  • file transfer
  • ability to transfer and share sessions
  • Unattended access
  • some systems wont allow sessions
  • Management/admin page is a bit clumsy
  • File transfer can a bit clumsy also but its fast and reliable
File transfer of logs is much faster then any others i have used
We regularly work with dev on customer issues. being able to both be on a session is very helpful
Unattended access is great for when dev isnt able to get on the machine and needs to make changes after hours.

Rescue is used by the Client Services, Training, and Engineering departments to connect with clients in order to assist with troubleshooting software issues and training new clients. Rescue enables us to connect to client environments and take control. It is so much easier than trying to talk clients through issues blindly, hoping that you are looking at the same area of the software.
  • Allows technician to take control of client's computer
  • Allows technician to retrieve database backups for in-house examination
  • Allows technician to upload files to clients
  • It can be confusing getting some clients connected. The log-in page after clients input the PIN could be clearer. Clients get confused as to whether it is actually downloading or not.
  • Expand the length of time to successfully make the connection. The 5-minute time-out is not long enough for clients who either have slow internet or are not computer savvy.
  • Allow non-lead technicians to share the connection with someone else or another technician.
Rescue makes training easier as it allows the Trainer to use the client's information instead of showing their own generic database. Working with the client's own database helps the training stick with the client. Rescue makes customer support easier as it puts everyone on the same page and allows the technician to take over the computer and do what is needed without having to walk clients through possibly complicated and potentially destructive steps in the case of tech support. Rescue make in-house training possible as an experienced technician can show a less experienced technician how to assist clients.
