Improving Customer Support and Troubleshooting Through LogMeIn Rescue

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using LogMeIn Rescue in our company to gain better visibility of the client’s screen while assisting them, allowing us to provide more efficient troubleshooting, especially when errors or system bugs occur. Additionally, this helps us identify the root cause of the issues they encounter and enables us to escalate them to our development team for faster resolution. It is also synchronized with our Salesforce tool, which helps future support teams determine whether a screen-sharing session was conducted. This makes case investigation more efficient and streamlined.

Pros

  • Helps support have a better view while assisting clients and performing troubleshooting with them.
  • Integrated with our case creation tool, which helps us conduct better and more efficient investigations, improving overall resolution time and support productivity.
  • Has an option to download the app or do it on the browser which gives flexibility on the user.
  • Has the option to transfer sessions to another support representative, making the handoff more efficient and faster, as the next support no longer needs to start a new session with the client.

Cons

  • I would recommend having an option to view the client’s cursor in the web browser, as this feature is currently only available in the app.
  • I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows support representatives to view the client’s screen in cascaded mode when multiple monitors are in use, instead of being limited to a landscape view. This enhancement would improve visibility and overall support efficiency.
  • I would like to suggest adding an option for automatic screen recording that first requests the client’s permission. This would make it easier to save recordings at the end of the session when needed.

Return on Investment

  • Probably return on investment is better when using LogMeIn Rescue as we are able to assist more clients and were able to provide a better customer service. Because of that many clients are trusting due to better customer experience.
  • I can say that LogMeIn Rescue had a strong positive impact on our overall business objectives as it helps us to have a better view on client's screen while doing a trouble shooting which lessen the trouble shooting time as we can just simply point them what they need to do.
  • I am not aware of any negative impact in terms of return on investment, as I have primarily observed the positive benefits that LogMeIn Rescue provides.

LogMeIn Rescue Technician Console - Just works!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use this as a tool for the IT department to be able to see and take control of a user's machine so we can see what they are experiencing and troubleshoot it. This allows us to be able to go in as an admin and support users from any location with the only need being an internet connection.

Pros

  • Connect with Admin Right
  • Allow reboots and reconnect
  • Unattended Access
  • Multiple Sessions at one
  • Ability to invite other technicians or transfer the session to someone else
  • Ability to have user launch a desktop icon and get a code from support to connect simply

Cons

  • The console is a little dated feeling
  • Could be a little more intuitive on the tools it offers
  • The admin console is confusing and seems not to work as expected for user management

Return on Investment

  • Allowed support when other tools fail
  • Allowed us to maintain distance
  • Allow us to complete migration to another domain remotely
  • Allow us to stay connected even at a reboot
  • Allow us to see the login screen and change options/users for login

Rescue has become a valued part of our team allowing us succeed without issue related downtime

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With a 100% remote team, someone cannot just stop by their office and show them how to fix an issue. Rescue has made it so that it is almost as good as having someone present to show how to best solve a problem. We no longer have to go through a check list of possible issues - "Is the computer plugged in..." We have tried a number of solutions that sounded good but just ended up costing time and money; if the team member cannot solve the problem we end up sending them a new machine which causes downtime and a great deal of expense for overnighting a new machine and getting the team member up and running on their new machine.

Pros

  • Computer issue triage
  • Security by working seamlessly with our VPN
  • Ease of use for even the least computer savvy team member

Cons

  • Major maker software integration
  • fully remote access
  • the ability for a third party to fully review interactions

Return on Investment

  • substantial decrease in cost per employee for computer work stations
  • Very infrequently need to overnight and replace CPUs
  • Because of Rescue we have been able to upgrade all team members to allow everyone to utilize Rescue
