LogMeIn ٤+

When I first used this app, at least a couple of upgrades ago, it was awkward, although rather useful. It has been a while since I last used it, and in that time there has been real improvement. It is quick and agile, connecting to my office computer easily. I can open and use any program on the computer, and, best of all, print from my iPad Mini to my office computer on command. This app is now a gem. I highly recommend it.

Update: After the developer raised the price to highway robbery levels, I dropped this app. I miss it, but not enough to pay that ridiculous price!

Logmein used to be one of those companies that you'd have only good things to say but this is no longer the case. They’ve made clear efforts to shake off individual users and focus only on business users. Thankfully we have better options these days like Splashtop who gives you same functionality for $100/yr. I’m guessing the LogMeIn reviews are either from a PR firm hired to boost the company’s reputation, LogMeIn employees, or business users who are passing the expense on to their employers because no sane person would pay $350/yr for something that can be done just as easily and far more affordably by using a competing product. ALL of the LogMeIn services are WAY overpriced!! People like me that paid astronomical fees out of our own pockets for something we've already paid for many times over are NOT happy. When I voiced my concerns regarding the ridiculous pricing with their customer service they tried selling me this spiel that the costs are justified by their "active development" and R&D. Yeah, everyone else does the same thing and yet they manage to stay competitive with their pricing so what’s the problem with LogMeIn? $350 annually is robbery. 😳😡👎 Like most people, I know they don't care and don't even read these reviews so we're all wasting our breath.

The company that I work for has been using LogMeIn for a couple of years now, we use it for about 150 computers. Working in the I.T. Field it is extremely useful to be able to hop on any computer around the country and resolve a problem with out having to run someone through step-by-step over the phone. Across our company, our PCs vary anywhere from Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and MacOS, and LogMeIn works well on all of them!

However, while it is fantastic, even on poor DSL connections, and works well with MacOS from a client standpoint, it could use some work on a MacOS host standpoint. When I use my MacBook from home to sign in remotely, I notice the app tends to loose connection more, and the app occasionally becomes unresponsive, causing me to need to force close the app. I also notice when loosing connection sometimes, LogMeIn has trouble reconnecting to the client, even though the connection status hasn’t changed.

We’re paying about a little under $4,000 per year, which is reasonable for what the product is. We have explored other options that are a little more versatile (like the ability to run repair scripts from the program), but honestly, aren’t as UI friendly or quite as reliable.

For the foreseeable future, we will continue to stick with LogMeIn and expand with them as well as we continue to grow!
