LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo's remote administator logon works fine, the auto-reconnect works fine, the remote reboot works fine. The direct transfer of an installation file or log file would be a time-saver, but that perhaps exceeds the capacities of this tool. Our customers are in Switzerland can have computers in the wrong language for us, it could help when the other language support colleague could directly join, but the wrong region blocks totally for them, the trusted contact relationship between two LogMeIn users would help a lot, as an alternative list of partners whom we could also invite in a session (by default, we cannot add them at all).

Internal IT support, customer support for tech companies and likely educational institutions. LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo might be less appropriate to small business owners to likely cost. For basic troubleshooting tasks, less expensive and simpler tools might be appropriate for some users, as logmein rescue's advanced features can be at times overkill.

Highly Recommend LogMeIn Rescue For Any Technical Support Company!

LogMeIn Rescue is a wonderful tool if you are offering any kind of software to clients that require the need for you to access their screen. It is also a wonderful tool for your clients as they can click to connect to support and connect with you for any tech support needs they may have. The only time I feel like LogMeIn Rescue would be less appropriate is if you are working with clients that have secure data on their computers that should not be viewed by others, even tech support.

Easy option to share the remote access method (link, PIN or sent by email) so the end user has multiple options to share access depending on the issue. Even having the option to have this to be executed as a service to have the option to remote since the initialization of MS Windows.

Well suited scenarios is that it does not give a warning while taking remote that this might be a spam because we will have the full paid version but if you are using trial then it keeps on dropping and a warning while taking a remote ..

For us it's just super useful when we need an immediate way to connect with a user. Even more so if we are dealing with a not so technical person on the other end. For what its purpose is, it does a fantastic job. If only they could work on a cheaper pricing plan for small businesses.

LogMeIn Rescue allows seamless admin control over our end users devices, both internal and also more importantly (to us) external of our network. We have a handful of users that work the majority of their working week out of the office and they often need support to keep them moving. From a central console our service desk technicians are able to remotely assist over 5G networks and gas station wifi, and take control of the issue and 9/10 resolve without having to be physically present at the device.

Excellent Remote Support Tool

It's a great tool & fully serves its purpose of facilitating the agents with the ability to solve their customer's issues remotely & efficiently.
The tool is very easy to use & requires very less amount of training for any new agents to get started with it. The remote session gets initiated with ease & it comes with a lot of great features.

  • Troubleshooting with remote workers
  • Troubleshooting staff on-site to maintain distance
  • Troubleshooting items that take a long time where unattended access allows you to check in as needed.
  • Troubleshooting, when users are having issues with the domain and other tools are unable to connect
  • Troubleshooting to have a user show you what is going on when it may not be clear.
  • Less appropriate for something super quick where admin may not be needed. In this case, it is easier for a user to show you the issue via Skype or Teams

Rescue almost works perfectly, except one small issue for me

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.

Some specific scenarios where LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo is when utilziing 3rd party software that is critical to operations starts performing badly. We can then use this software to get 3rd party remote assistance to troubleshoot any issues.

Good product with potential to be great!!

Situations where you need to reconnect with the remote system after a remote reboot, LogMeIn Rescue is very helpful. It helps both the parties by not tying up another computer through which you will have to otherwise do the remote control. LogMeIn Rescue becomes inconvenient when it cannot be scheduled for a future meeting and send reminders to both parties. Currently, we have to resort to other reminder systems or call to connect.

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

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.

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.

For us, it has always just worked and worked well. It’s easy to train users up on, too. Having something you can trust to just work, alleviates a lot of stress in the support world. Similarly having something so easy to use means even apprentices are instantly comfortable with using the interface at the very least.

LogMeIn is great for supporting the end user in a help desk oriented talk. Even basic user such as young students can follow the simple instructions to set up and install, so we can remote in.

The GUI is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate, but there are many power features once you get more comfortable with the the basics.

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.
