Overall Satisfaction with LogMeIn Central
We used to use LogMeIn to facilitate remote support. Now we use it primarily to provide our users with remote access to their own computers.
Pros
- The actual remote control interface is very nice, it's a really solid interface and works very reliably.
- The remote print feature is very nice.
- LogMeIn Central is a great interface for managing groups of users and facilitating granular access to users for specifics groups of computers.
- The mobile app is very good.
Cons
- The biggest problem with LogMeIn is the pricing—every year they raise prices. For businesses that can justify the expense, it's still nice to have and to be fair, some of LogMeIn's competitors are similarly raising prices every year, but still, it's the single biggest point of frustration. Not just because it gets more expensive, but because it makes it hard to commit to LogMeIn as a long-term infrastructure choice when the year-over-year cost is not only increasing but unpredictable. I just don't see the value of the product rising commensurate with the price increases. They do keep improving it and adding features but at the end of the day what 99% of users care about is still just the remote control, not all the secondary features.
- LogMeIn helps us fill one of the needs our customers have for secondary remote access.
- TeamViewer, SolarWinds N-central and Solarwinds Take Control (formerly SolarWinds MSP Anywhere)
We switched to TeamViewer because of the pricing. Then we switched to N-central because of the functionality. However, LogMeIn is still our go-to for secondary user remote access.
