(51-75 of 181)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
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
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
[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 Get 'er Done!!!
Remote administration of computers. Install software and troubleshoot problems.
- Indefinite connection time.
- Automatic reconnect after reboot.
- Transfer session to other technicians.
- Ease of use.
- Confirmation screens sometimes are hidden.
- System tries to logon to computer with LogMeIn account name. Would prefer to stop at the computer login since I sometimes have to use alternate accounts located on remote computer.
- Ability to hide console on remote system and set permissions on who can shut down remote client.

The remote Support team uses LogMeIn Rescue for assistance, training, and installation of clients. This solution reduces on-site visits and associated costs and delays by 99%. The client used to be delayed in issue resolution until a technician could attend on-site. Now issues are resolved immediately without additional cost to the client.
- Ease of connection to client
- File Transfer
- Remote reboot
- Support for multiple monitors
- More feedback on client side for easier connection
- Lengthen time of link being live from 20 to 60 minutes
- spell check in chat window

LogMeIn to the Rescue everytime
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.

Remote Life saver that needs some tweaks.
To remote into [colleagues' machines] for remote support. The product addresses the challenges of supporting remotely during this pandemic. from a simple [log in] issue to putting a pc back on the domain to re-installing a piece of software or setting up a new user.
- System information
- Ease of creating several methods to get a support link to user[.]

- Slow start up when launching app[.]
- Slow connection with client to support analyst.
- Requiring rights or permission to get a pc name/systems info[.]

We use LogMeIn Rescue as an alternative set of remote support tools to support out customer base along with another 3rd party RMM product. LogMeIn Rescue gives us the ability to log onto customers machines in a few simple clicks at a reasonable price. The application contains a large selection of tools for every situation.
- Large variety of tools within the software for every situation.
- Easy to use software and control panel.
- Branding is customisable.
- Very reliable.
- Works really well with User Account Control comparing to some other products.
- No monthly licensing model. You commit to a 15 month contract for a single license.
- Support response times can be quite long.
- Quite expensive comparing to some other products on the market.

LogMeIn Rescue is great for remote support
We use it to allow remote control of some critical servers from outside our network. It removes the need to make holes in the firewall and tweak server settings. We use it to allow 3rd party vendors access. It allows us to keep our network secure with minimal effort and minimal risk.
- Easy remote access
- Secure remote access
- Easy to setup and deploy
- Seems like they change the program often

Ultimate remote access and support solution.
LogMeIn Rescue has been used throughout the company as a definitive tool to assist with remote support. I am part of the helpdesk team, and as a support analyst, I use it together with my team to solve problems and answer user requests remotely. It is software with great design and construction, easy to access, and be accessed remotely to install applications, drivers, printers and solve technical problems on users' devices. I also use it to interact with users using messaging and file transfer.
- Outstanding for secure remote support of user devices.
- Allows interaction with users using chat.
- Multiple sessions.
- Scheduled remote diagnostics.
- Helps you to troubleshoot and install applications remotely.
- Reports can be better.
- A bit complicated interface for beginners.

Strong contender but not perfect
LogMeIn Rescue is used for the purpose of providing technical support within our organization. It is used by the centralized ticketing team with quick links sent to end-users and customers to assist them remotely with issues they are experiencing in their computer systems. The management team will also use it from time to time to do screen sharing within their team.
- Remote access
- End user support
- Chat
- White labeling
- Integrations
- Ticketing workflow support

Simple and Robust Remote Control Tool
LogMeIn Rescue is being used by our IT PC Support and IT Technical Support to address service requests for our end users. These are internal users from various departments within the organization. In addition to fulfilling service requests which involve installing software, the support team also uses LogMeIn Rescue to troubleshoot issues on the user's PC.
- Fulfill end-user service requests for software install.
- Fulfill end-user issues related to an application or software installed on the end-user's pc.
- Easy to use and improves end user experience.
- The Interface and options to chat are not that appealing for the end-user. Comparing this to Microsoft Teams.
- Add more functionality to record sessions.
- Integrate with ITSM Tools like ServiceNow or CA. For instance, a tech is working with the end-user on a particular request it would be a nice feature to have if the transcript is automatically added at the end of the session to the actual Service Request/Issue.

LogMeIn Rescue--great spur-of-the-moment support
We used LogMeIn Rescue to troubleshoot remote worker computer issues. Like many companies lately, our entire workforce is remote, so having something like this was super helpful for screen sharing, getting real-time feedback, and interacting with the device.
- Quick and easy access to support
- Fast client setup and dial in
- Lightweight application that any device can run
- User friendly even for the most novice of users
- Perpetual running client starts up with the computer to make unattended access easier
- Pricing structure is pretty challenging for companies with small IT budgets
- Admin-level prompts disrupt the remote access capability

Connect Remotely when other programs fail, but watch out for the overly expensive subscription price!
We use LogMeIn Rescue to connect to certain clients' computers when other programs sometimes fail to install or connect. We start with the free alternatives - "Remote Utilities" & "Anydesk" if they fail to work, we switch over to LogMeIn Rescue.
- LogMeIn Rescue is great at connecting through hardware and software firewalls
- LogMeIn Rescue has great support for multiple platforms
- LogMeIn Rescue gives a nice smooth frame rate of the remote system
- LogMeIn Rescue's subscription price is VERY expensive (currently $108/mo + $37/mo for mobile access)

LogMeIn Rescue allows quick support to our customers!
We currently use LogMeIn Rescue to get remote [access] into customer machines to provide support and complete installs for our applications. It helps us quickly assist customers and look at their machines without the back and forth of emails. There are also APIs available to make workflow easier and connect our internal systems/processes together.
- Workflow Integrations with API
- Customer support
- Ease of use by our customers
- Easy setup and access to user machines
- There are timeout limits which slows down the process
- Adding more techs to the session is not intuitive
- The UI can be improved
- Could provide more tech support reporting and features

This has eliminated the need to visit our customers to fix their software issues, which in return has saved us more time and effort in providing reliable remote support solutions.

- It supports wide range of mobile devices, PCs, and macs
- Comes with 1TB cloud storage
- Includes multi-session handling
- Facilitates collaboration between technicians and customers
- Allows rebooting and reconnecting without interruption

LogMeIn Rescue - An IT Survival Tool
For the IT helpdesk, we use LogMeIn Rescue on a daily basis to provide remote assistance and troubleshooting for many types of workstations spread across a large part of Ontario. We use both unattended installers, and if necessary, we send links. It has saved countless hours on the phone and the road over the years.
- Works with UAC very well
- Unattended installer is very handy for accessing systems when staff are not available to assist
- Provides a reliable and trusted means of connecting that people understand
- We sometimes get a little frustrated with the back-end system management for the unattended installer.
- Hotkeys for the drawing tools would be great - especially to clear them... - maybe they are there already, and we just don't know.
- Although it is not a fault of LogMeIn Rescue - it sure would be nice if the mobile side could see the actual screen of an iPhone to assist people. Android works very well.

Solid choice for a remote support solution
We make use of LogMeIn Rescue within our ICT Department at a third-line support level to allow connections into the system from 3rd party suppliers that require remote access to our environment. The product offers us a quick, secure, customizable way to offer remote support without the additional steps of settings up firewall rules and adapting security policies.
- Quick support
- Company branding
- Cloud based support
- Price
- Simplifying offering (mobile support)

Perfect tool when things have to be done remotely!!
It is used by IT to support users across the organization. We use it primarily to remote access systems to either perform software installations or troubleshoot. We also use it to perform unattended installations and information gathering as and when required. The very fact that there is no instance installation required when working with customers is a huge advantage for us.
- Multi-Session handling
- Session history & recording
- Active directory sync
- Overall administration
- Chat support
- LogMeIn Rescue ticks all relevant boxes for us

LogMeIn Rescue Works Great
We have used LogMeIn Rescue to provide easy remote support to our clients for years now. It is very reliable, easy to use, and very effective. This tool allows us to connect to a remote workstation with minimal need for IT involvement so we can troubleshoot problems directly on our customer's workstations. This tool is being used by most groups in the company, from support to implementation to IT.
- Easy to establish a secure remote connection
- Many options to remotely control a system from Mac to PC
- Transfer files, reboot and reconnect, view event logs
- It would be great if they offered a mobile console for end users so we could connect to clients on the go

LogMeIn Rescue review
We used LogMeIn Rescue to help our customers via a remote session. We used it throughout our whole company to remote into customer sites to help troubleshoot their issues. We also used it for non-customers who just needed help from time to time. By using this, it saved us time in driving to the customer site.
- Easy to use
- Good support
- Well known product
- More expensive than others
- Upward learning curve
- Missing functionality that ScreenConnect has
September 23, 2021
LogMeIn Rescue is good for that on the fly remote session
While we use LogMeIn Central for most users, we do have people at sister companies that do work for us. For those computers that we don't have on LogMeIn Central, we utilize LogMeIn Rescue. We also use it for users on personal machines or if we have users with new computers that are in a remote environment.
- Secure access to remote machines
- Easy for users to connect to support
- Cost effective
- If Apple could give better access to mobile support
- If users could have option to forgo any confirmation screens at the onset of support

A Robust remote access software.
At my company, we used LogMeIn Rescue to perform remote support calls. When there was some problem on the machines or some user needed administrator permissions to install software, this application was used to grant remote access to the technical team. As the company worked mostly home office, it worked very well. Machines for new employees were also configured remotely by this software.
- Remote access
- Realtime chat
- Screen share
- It has problems with Apple computers

LogMeIn Rescue - Best ad-hoc support solution.
We use LogMeIn Rescue as a means of providing ad hoc support for our clients who do not use our RMM remote software. Some of our customers simply cannot afford a monthly charge but can afford the ad hoc support we provide. It addresses our ability to quickly log in and fix problems on a customer's machine.
- File transfer
- Remote control
- Remote troubleshooting and analysis of computer stats
- Ease of multimonitor support
- File transfer used to be straight-forward, but is more cumbersome of late
- I would like to see all monitors of the user simultaneously launch upon connect
