Overall Satisfaction with LogMeIn Central

At IAC we use LogMeIn Central to support remote users and C-Level execs with their IT needs. It is mainly used by the Helpdesk techs for troubleshooting IT issues. Supporting our C Level execs I use it to maintain their multiple machines add and remove programs, OS updates, and patching of 3rd party programs.
  • Deployment - simple and easy to use. Allows for customization of the installs.
  • Mobility- The use of LogMeIn from a mobile device allows ultimate mobility for the tech.
  • Health Status - at one quick look you are able to see all the computers that need to be updated.
  • Administering Users- Cumbersome and not clearly designed.
  • How To's are lacking. Although they have started better training adding Videos but prior was trail and error.
  • I am sure there are other things that may need to be more streamlined but nothing that slows down what I need this for.
  • Shipping Cost - Down due to the remote connection. Only have to ship laptops with hardware issues.
  • Ability to surpass MTR on any none Hardware related issue
The app works great on both laptops and Mobile devices (iPhone and iPad). I am able to connect to the remote computer even if we are both on cellular and with 3 bars of signal. I have used it on a Plane via GOGO service. I am able to track the laptops and if they are up to date on Microsoft patches.
I have never run into a scenario where it was unavailable for me. They plan there maintenance well and short periods of outage time for updates. In the 8 years, I have been using LogMeIn, I have never had any issues with their website or mobile apps. Let's just say they are very dependable.

Dameware is a very good product and fantastic with server environments but personally doesn't come close to LogMeIn when talking about assisting users who are on different LANs all around the world. TeamViewer has a good product but prefer Logmein's dashboard and ease of use.
How many people can say that they assisted their Chairman of the Board remotely while they were in their corporate jet at 42,000 feet? Wait I was in a commercial airliner at 39,000 feet and still was able to log on to his laptop and assist him with a problem.
