We performed a comparison between LogMeIn Pro and LogMeIn Rescue based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Access solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's even simple to remotely add a computer to our group. We can send a link to that computer and they just follow the prompts on the screen and they are ready to go - we can access it. It's very user-friendly."
"I can login to my office computer, go into all of my software, and work from a remote location."
"I would tell others who are looking into this solution that I feel that it's a secure solution. I never had any issues with its security element. I think that it's very simple to use. I think it is user-friendly, and you can work between computers pretty well on it."
"Being able to remote access my computer means I can work at night from my house."
"Technical support was able to address everything that I asked in a timely, responsible, satisfactory manner."
"The most valuable feature is having it in a central location, all the different groups, and being able to ad-hoc or at will log on to whichever computer system I need to get to from a central spot."
"I can connect to them remotely and do all the functions I would have to do by manually driving to them, so it does make things a lot easier."
"The remote connection is the most valuable, but we also use it for file transfer, that would be probably the second most valuable. The remote connection is a major time saver, it saves us from having to drive to each location."
"I can remote reboot and know I can reconnect automatically without having to have the end user log back in again."
"The time it takes to troubleshoot one of our users is cut significantly."
"The initial setup is easy. If you want the desktop program, you just download and install it."
"It is very straightforward to set up, use, install, and transfer sessions."
"No issues with scalability. It is a fairly simple model. If I wanted to add five more, I would just buy five more people and licenses, apply the program to their computers, and give them their login."
"The ability see iOS devices helps us out a lot because the majority of our users are iOS device users."
"It allows us to rapidly solve issues for our customers on a remote basis, regardless of the location of the customer."
"It works with different operating systems, I can connect to a PC or Mac."
"Maybe they can come up with a plan if you only use it for login and, occasionally, printing. Maybe you can charge what you used to charge and then if we want to use it for files or things that are more sophisticated, charge a little more."
"The user interface needs improvement. Mostly, it's pretty intuitive for what I need to do, but the extra elements to it seem very complex, so I don't really try to even use those. For example, document sharing, file stuff. I can do the log-in part, but the additional features are kind of complex."
"Unfortunately, LogMeIn is a long ways from being perfect. It has a lot of really great features, though they don't always work well."
"It does go down sometimes. You try to login, it tells you the workdesk computer is not available. It does kick you off a lot."
"Remote Access for external and internal customers."
"I would enhance the product, so if I had two screens in front of me, it could connect to two computers simultaneously with the program. For example, if I had a computer at location A and a computer at location B and I am sitting at location C, it might be nice for me to be able to be connected to all three of those computers and move data between those three during one session. "
"At certain times of the day, during the "rush hour," it's very slow. I don't know if it's the latency of the internet or the amount of people on it in the afternoon at 4:00, 5:00pm. Getting data transferred takes a longer time than other times of the day."
"The only issue is that they could have a tier between 10 seats and 50."
"I do wish there was an application to manage all of the admin properties of the subscription, rather than having to use the web portal."
"They need to improve their technical support."
"You should be able to remote on an iPhone like you remote on an Android. It is not the same experience. Unless you are very savvy on iOS, you are pretty much lost."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"Network browsing and connecting on the LAN, because if you can't see the computers on your network, what good is the product?"
"Nothing's perfect but I think it's really a great tool just the way it is. The suggestion that I made to them at their user advisory board is that they combine the two products, Rescue and Central, into one because you really should have both. A bunch of the other people in that meeting very much liked that."
"They need to combine computer and mobile end-user support to be a more streamlined experience."
"We are currently supporting Linux, but there are certain limitations. We are currently working on improving Linux support and addressing certain limitations in the roadmap."
