Our company has recently switched to using LogMeIn Rescue to provide support to our customer base with their technical issues. The entire Technical and application support personnel are using it. The major advantage of LogMeIn is that it provides multi monitor support as well as reconnection after a remote reboot without going through the authorization procedure done in the beginning. The customers being served are also satisfied knowing that they give the authority to access their system to only known people by acknowledging it at each instance.
  • The customer at the other end is in control of giving access to their system. It is not a free anytime access to their system even if you have connected before.
  • The technician, after getting access, can switch between monitors on the remote system to access windows popping in different monitors.
  • You can perform a remote reboot and still connect without the customer intervention once the authorization has been given. This is helpful when you are doing a remote software installation that requires multiple system reboot.
  • You can get the remote system configuration information without invoking the command window on their side.
  • The most important feature that is missing is its ability to schedule a meeting ahead of time and integrating it with the office mail systems.
  • Their is no integration of voice so you have to resort to other calling app or phone to have a verbal interaction with the client.
  • In some cases it would be nice to set up a secured unattended remote access feature. This is particularly useful in big organizations where the remote systems are not always accessible quickly by the clients. So, if a mutually agreed secure link will help.
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.

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.

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.
  • Computer issue triage
  • Security by working seamlessly with our VPN
  • Ease of use for even the least computer savvy team member
  • Major maker software integration
  • fully remote access
  • the ability for a third party to fully review interactions
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.

We use this tool for customer service, helping customers to set up application like email in their computers or smartphones. However, this tool help us to access customers device so we can enter the complicated configurations in customers device. Moreover, this tool is very useful for troubleshooting when we need to analyze the issue by looking into the device.
  • Set up Email application.
  • Configure settings remotely.
  • Verifying test results
  • Need to connect more fast.
  • it has issue while connecting with mac.
  • it is slow while connecting with smartphones.
It works really good while we connect with windows to windows, and runs very smoothly. However, it is hard sometimes while we connect it with macbook. Moreover, While connecting with smartphones it is very slow sometime. it is really good tool while doing configurations remotely on windows devices, and it is easily accessible.

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.

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.

We use Rescue daily to assist with all troubleshooting; we have to remote into all our customer's workstations.
  • Very easy to use.
  • Able to have access to the customer's workstation in a fast manner.
  • If there is an issue, the support line always has a long hold time.
With every call I take daily, I need to have access to my customer's workstation within 20 seconds I'm in their workstation troubleshooting the issues and out. We service customers all over the United States and this makes our job fast and efficient.

As a small company that has limited resources to support our product on a North American scale; we have found GoTo Rescue as a great way to provide support to our clients. We also have other departments using the tool to help with training and working with clients on reading reports and basic training on walking through with them on the product.
  • Ability to see exactly what our clients see
  • Ability to allow support to grab information remotely from clients machine.
  • Easier to work with clients directly on our system with this remote tool.
  • The ease to have clients connect to support with the calling card feature (ease of use)
  • Calling card feature; would like it to be able to record different associations by using just 1 calling card. Currently if i wanted 5 separate client specific notifications for notes I need to create 5 separate calling cards instead of reusing just the one.
I've used this product in my previous job where remote connection is a necessary aspect. The ability to remotely connect into a system to see what the client is seeing is fantastic. It allows one to update systems directly on the machine itself and see what they are trying to describe. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. When I moved on and started my new job in this field, I immediately saw a need for this product. With it we could keep costs down for support and provide better service for our clients.

I am the IT Manager at an accounting firm with users in-house, at home and working remotely from client locations. I am unable to be at all places at once and I need the ability to support my users from anywhere! Rescue allows the to help my users by performing the work on their computers for them, rather then telling them what to do. From simple fixes to complex procedures, Rescue lets me do what needs to be done, even if the user is not available. Unattended access is a great feature. Bottom line? If you have a user with problems and they have an internet connection, there is no way you can not help them.
  • Ability to solve problems
  • All users to show you the problem, rather then tell you
  • All the technician to access the computer without any user intervention
  • The technician console provides a very easy user interface
  • I do wish the screen provided prompts indicating where the user should click to complete the steps. Some less savvy users have issues going through the steps that allow me to get connected to them.
  • A quick log-in via our website would be a nice feature.
  • I can only access the console on one screen. In the event the technician has multiple screens, would be nice to have multiple screen access for users with multiple screens.
Perfect for a team of technicians or an individual supporting an office. As long as your user has an internet connection and the ability to agree to a couple of prompts, you can perform your maintenance and troubleshooting inquiries with the same ability as if you were sitting at the user's desk, including restarting the computer.

In the event you have a less savvy user, you will need to be a little patient to walk them through the process. Familiarity with the end-user side of the process really helps with this problem.

We Use Rescue for our remote-in software solution to connect and troubleshoot various problems my coworkers experience. I work in IT and I have to assist everyone in our organization and Rescue gives me the ability to connect to their devices anywhere they may be and fix their problem without wasting time traveling to them.
  • Multi-Device Connectivity
  • Quick Response
  • Ease
  • Scammers use it a lot
  • Cell phone connectivity
  • Less Scammer use
Remote is well suited if you need to constantly connect to various computers to troubleshoot or to work on different servers or computers from far locations. We have several offices that I have to manage and employees constantly need help with their devices. A scenario where it would be less suited would be if you only have one work location where you don't need to travel.

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 rescue for remote support of our users who are on remote sites. We have branches at sites more than 100 KM away and it is not easy for us to travel to them when they have problems with their installed applications or their machine. With Rescue we work in 2 ways, our users can via a calling card call us for an intervention or we guide them through a link to give us access to their computers
  • Take control with admin access to a remote desktop
  • Integration of external technician
  • Use calling card to initiate an intervention at client side
  • Integrate the possibility to manage the different assets (Computers/SmartPhone) of the network via an install client. The client will allow to recover the information of all the machines of the network for a better management
Rescue is the perfect tool when you have users on remote sites and you want to do diagnostic interventions on their machine remotely and even support. The ability to take the machine in admin mode is a plus because in organizations where admin access is given to only a few users you can be sure that only authorized people will be able to do specific actions.But if you don't have a very good internal connection it can be very complicated

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.

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.

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.

I've been using Rescue (technician console) for over four years in the Customer Services sphere, mostly to deliver service to macOS users. I have to notice duly delivered Rescue updates for each upcoming macOS version each year, even for the beta versions. Rescue is surprisingly versatile and works smoothly with most popular OS versions. A variety of built-in features is a pleasant nuance, I can't imagine how would I go without predefined replies or custom scripts that every business can adjust to optimize their workflow.
  • Connection with multiple devices at once
  • User-friendly
  • Option to add your own scripts
  • Consuming resources of the system
Rescue Technician Console is best suited in scenarios where you single-handedly need to deliver service to multiple clients at once with minimum loss of productivity and reduced stress implied on a person who delivers the service itself. With the amount of customization and options galore, anyone can adjust Rescue for their needs

I use Rescue to support network remote computers and users. I have come out of the area and out-of-state users, that are not on my typical setup (lab tech) that I need to support. Rescue has been the best tool I have found to successfully support the staff I need to support and in the easiest most efficient way.
  • user friendly
  • easy to gain remote access
  • always available
  • Pricing - I feel it is a bit high for as little as i use it
  • possibly update the UI's to look more modern
I previously attempted to utilize Rescue for every PC on my domain. That focus has since changed, I have LabTech on every pc ON my domain now and use that remote agent very easily and efficiently and love it. I do however still have a few users that are not utilizing company equipment and are working either in the immediate area or state. Rescue still proves to be the best tool for supporting those staff members.

[LogMeIn Rescue] allows me to effectively and efficiently do my job! Without this tool, support calls would take longer and the overall resolution would be much harder to find. I have used other tools in the past but love LogMeIn Rescue because multiple people can be on the call at once. It is easy to control and view any monitor resolution.
  • Allows for multiple users
  • Allows control of the user's screen
  • Handles larger user monitor resolutions
  • Some clients find it difficult to download and run the file.
[LogMeIn Rescue] is great when two internal users have to access an external user's machine. It's great for users we are remoting into having a high-resolution monitor. [LogMeIn Rescue] doesn't work as well for presenting to a large group. It also doesn't work well when there are multiple external users attempting to join the same meeting.

We use LogMeIn Rescue as our main help desk support tool. LogMeIn [Rescue] gives us admin access to the user's screen [to] install software or run apps as an admin. Two things we can't get by simply sharing a screen. Often times a support call might take more than ten minutes. LogMeIn [Rescue] lets the user enter their password at the start of the session so that they can walk away, and if we reboot the computer, it will automatically log the user back in so we can continue the install process. At our firm, all our users have two external monitors, and their laptop monitor, LogMeIn [Rescue], allows us to view and interact with all available monitors.
  • See and interact with UAC Prompts
  • See and interact with all monitors
  • Three easy ways for a technician to connect to a users desktop
  • Transfer files
  • I wish there was a way to communicate via voice within the app, like Teams.
  • It would be nice if admins didn't have to log in every single time to get admin rights to the desktop.
  • Sometimes the remote console box does not close when the user disconnects.
LogMeIn Rescue is well suited for anyone on the help desk. Our non-admin staff also use the app to share screens to do training and to share files with remote users. There [is] a lot of security built into the product, so I do not know of a scenario where LogMeIn Rescue is less appropriate.

LogMeIn Rescue is a fantastic piece of software that is suited for every scenario when it comes to remote access to Windows Servers/Workstations & Mac devices. The software is especially suited for logging onto customers machines/servers that are not technology coordinated. The ease of use makes the software stand out from the rest of the crowd. Simply emailing a link to an email address and downloading the application will grant you access to almost any machine, and everything is done from the LogMeIn Rescue application when generating a session code!
