LogMeIn Pro by GoTo - Rock Solid

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our small IT firm, LogMeIn Pro by GoTo is a lifesaver for remote support. With our varied clients, we need a reliable tool to access machines, fix issues, and handle maintenance without being on-site – and LogMeIn Pro by GoTo gets the job done pretty much without fail. We use it daily to troubleshoot, install software, and manage servers. It saves us a ton of time by letting us fix problems remotely instead of driving to client sites. Our clients like the quick response, and we love the efficiency. We handle everything from routine checkups to urgent fixes, across Windows and macOS. The file transfer feature and the ability to manage multiple clients from the dashboard makes life easier.

Pros

  • LogMeIn Pro by GoTo offers unattended remote access that’s reliable and always available. You can securely log in to a client’s device (Windows or macOS) from anywhere, even without them present.....as long as their machine is on.
  • You can transfer files during a session without disrupting work. I've also transferred some pretty large files at times without issues.
  • I like the dashboard as it makes it easy to manage and organize multiple devices across our client base. You can see online/offline status, access machines instantly, and share access with your team all in one easy to view place

Cons

  • LogMeIn Pro by GoTo is expensive compared to many other remote access tools. Pricing scales per device, which adds up quickly if you manage multiple client machines, which we do.
  • LogMeIn Pro by GoTo doesn't have real time alerts. For example, if a server goes down.

Likelihood to Recommend

Most important to us is that LogMeIn Pro by GoTo just works well. This is why we rate is a 10. But its price might be an obstacle for budget conscious businesses.

We use LogMeIn Pro by GoTo to remotely access end users' desktop and laptop computers to assist with troubleshooting problems and updating patches and updates as well as deploying new software.

Likelihood to Recommend

LogMeIn Pro by GoTo is great for remotely accessing end users' computers.

I feel the user interface could use some improvement.

The speed is also not as good as I would ideally like it to be.

LogMeIn Pro- Review

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LogMeIn Pro is used by my IT Team to provide remote support to users. From a security stand-point, all users in my organsation do not have administrative privilege, that is where LogMeIn Pro comes in handy. LogMeIn Pro is used to have remote sessions by the administartors to perform administrative tasks via remote screen sharing.

Pros

  • Remote screen sharing
  • Access on the go
  • Ability to provide screen sharing for non-desktop related applications as well

Cons

  • The authentication via code sharing can be made more robust and fool-proof
  • The user interface can be made more intuitive
  • The pricing can be made more cheaper and easier on end users

Likelihood to Recommend

LogMeIn Pro is very well suited for small-to-medium sized organisations. The pricing is affordable and the implementation is easier. There are some concerns related to data privacy and security, hence I would not advise this to be used when your session handles PHI and PII kind of data, just to be compliant.

Best Remote Tool for Corporate Use

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As for Live bot production support, it is necessary to take remote sessions of the production machines. LogMeIn Pro's GotoResolve is used to control multiple production endpoint machines at the same time. Before LogMeIn Pro, the issues we faced were vulnerabilities and security issues with other remote tools, LogMeIn Pro's GotoResolve feature is much more secure and safe.

Pros

  • No change in screen resolution
  • Clipboard synchronization
  • Secure access
  • Multiple device access at a single time

Cons

  • Number of updates have been increased lately
  • Minor bugs are present (connecting issues)
  • With the new update the last accessed time is inaccurate

Likelihood to Recommend

This tool is best suited to handle live production monitors, we generally use it in RPA automation where the bot performs the tasks. A single cursor movement could interrupt the process and could lead to exceptions. LogMeIn Pro's GotoResolve feature allows to activation screen with a single click after taking remote access which is a positive point.

It gets the job done but not overally impressed

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

LogMeIn Pro is used to support remote troubleshooting for bank clients across the US. We also use it for product demonstrations to potential clients. We rarely have problems with connectivity, however, the screen refresh rate has been a problem. Typically, if the connection is not consistent then we will reset the client connection which usually clears up any issues. The flexibility of the interface has been a problem at times when going through Microsoft's RDP client. Our biggest challenge has consistently been with clients running a Microsoft RDS (aka terminal server) session and we are connecting through their session to another computer. We use 2 other remote desktop software packages if LogMeIn is not able to work. The other remote desktop software are not as good but their connectivity seems to be different enough that whenever LogMeIn is having problems their access will still work (though not always). We continue to renew our LogMeIn licenses but I can also honestly say we evaluate its value every year. It is definitely a competitive market in the remote desktop support software!

Pros

  • User screen flexibility
  • Connectivity between host and client
  • Ease of overall use

Cons

  • Slow customer service - we know more about their product than whoever we talk to whenever we call in
  • It does not always keep the settings during session unless we disconnect and reconnect with the new settings.
  • Troubleshooting using LogMeIn is minimal. It either works or doesn't, there is not a backup/alternative method for connectivity.

Likelihood to Recommend

Best Scenario - static connections

Worst Scenario - connecting through client RDP sessions

"Meh" Scenario - presentations

Average Scenario - send a session link to a dynamic host wait for installer

Never Have Unhappy Customers

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We support Investors FastTrack software and train users in our products. Typical calls include: Set up a new machine, unexpected results when using FastTrack, Windows Upgrades screw everything up, when all else fails reboot Windows. Users commonly install "protection" software that prevents upgrades to our products. New users are initially lost. We go over the screens they see and explain the proper use of FastTrack.

Pros

  • Help older users remember skills they seldom use
  • We assess user investment goals and calculate the effort required to achieve
  • LogMeIn Pro makes a connection if at all possible. Users often complain about our update service when the problem is their poor line quality.
  • We can view events, upgrades status, what software might be installed that is causing the problem. The users often do not read error messages and cannot describe the actual problem.

Cons

  • Make it easier for users to connect.
  • There are useful new features, but no communication to us that they exist.

Likelihood to Recommend

If the connection can be made to the users' screen, LogMeIn Pro is ALWAYs helpful. We use it not only for support but also for sales. We can demo our product without the user needing to do anything but connect. LogMeIn Pro provides easy transfer of a call to another staff member of the department. We have Offices in NYC, North Carolina, and Louisiana. The user's connection session can be easily transferred.

Reasonably priced unattended remote access software with simple setup

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use this software for unattended remote access to two iMacs at a satellite location of ours. It is a fairly inexpensive and easy to use solution for unattended remote access. Good performance, super easy to implement, auto-renewal feature.

Pros

  • Good performance - renders remote computer with very little latency
  • Was very easy to implement on both guest and host computers
  • Subscription is fairly reasonable for this type of software

Cons

  • One thing that is sometimes difficult is the setup of LogMeIn on Macs after an update - I know it is for security, but sometimes after a LogMeIn update, I will have to walk the end-user through "allowing" LogMeIn to access a few services on the Mac
  • Possibly a discounted subscription rate after certain timeframe would be cool
  • Other than these two items, not much else - LogMeIn works very well for what it's supposed to do

Likelihood to Recommend

Definitely works well for small business, with just a handful of devices that require unattended access. Probably would not recommend for Macs, as described, sometimes after a LogMeIn update, I will have to walk an end-user through "allowing" services on the Mac before I can gain access view and control the remote computer
