Overall Satisfaction with LogMeIn Rescue

Out IT department uses LogMeIn. Our company has 7000 end users most of which are remote users. We use it many times a day assisting people working across the U.S. in many different environments. I have used several remote tools, but LogMeIn is the one I prefer.
  • The ability to work on a machine remotely and be able to restart the computer and reconnect without having to go through the connection process again.
  • The ability to copy files to or from a computer.
  • Being able to watch the end user and evaluate if something they are doing or are not doing could be causing the issue.
  • I would like the ability to be able to lock the end user's keyboard while on the computer. Many times they hit keys or move their mouse which can delay my being able to give the best support possible.
  • Very easy to use and a quick way to get our end users working again.
ConnectWise is just terrible in many, many ways.
It is very easy to use not just for the technician but for the end user too.

Evaluating LogMeIn Rescue and Competitors

  • Product Features

I didn't have input on purchasing this product but it does have a good reputation
