Overall Satisfaction with LogMeIn Central

We use LogMeIn Central to connect to over 2000 PCs and servers for our clients. We're able to do unattended control, which allows us to do work after-hours for our clients and schedule support calls for when the PCs are not in use. It also has a wealth of other features that we use to help manage the machines, such as command prompt, resource monitoring, event viewing, and more.
  • Easy to resell
  • User management and access rights are very easy to put in place
  • Powerful tools to work on PCs without remote controlling them, such as command prompt, resource monitoring, registry editor, and more
  • Dashboard prior to controlling the machine gives a great overview of potential issues - it has the last 5 event log errors, performance information, and more
  • HIPAA compliant
  • Audit reports are easy to create and to understand
  • They keep raising costs significantly each year
  • Sometimes LogMeIn's scheduled reboot feature doesn't work on Macs
  • There's a lot of great tools for PCs, but Macs need to be actually controlled in order to manage
  • Since they raise prices so often, ROI is hard to predict
  • LogMeIn Central allows us to support more clients who are not under contract, giving us more clients as a result
  • If LogMeIn continues to raise prices, we will no longer be able to offer it
LogMeIn had better quality than Splashtop and seemed to be a lot faster. TeamViewer was pretty comparable to LogMeIn for remote sessions but doesn't have the backdoor tools that LogMeIn Central has.
LogMeIn is suited for MSPs or IT support companies who need to be able to control their clients' computers easily. While it is expensive, it is very easy to resell and licensing costs are based on the number of computers, not the number of accounts. So you can resell to offset costs of the service. LogMeIn is great for people who have minimal contracts, and don't have a more powerful RMM tool to monitor and control their systems.
