Considered Both Products
Cisco Webex Support
Chose Cisco Webex Support
I would say that Cisco Webex Support stacks up pretty evenly in capability, but in some regards (video clarity, toll-free access, etc.) they were even better. Where they did provide a better solution for toll-free access on audio bridges, their audio quality was worse for those …
Chose Cisco Webex Support
Cisco Webex Support has a dedicated support team for all users. Finding dedicated support for the other platforms seems to be automated chat before speaking with an actual person.
Chose Cisco Webex Support
The only reason I chose Cisco Webex is because it had automatic attendance feature. But it is of no use if you cannot conduct your meetings due to delay in their response to issues addressed.

Logmein GoToAssist
    • Logmein-GoToAssist is the product we used previously and still to some degree use with WebEx Support Center. It was not always reliable and suffered with network congestion but worked quite well for us, we as a team feel that WebEx Support Center is a more …
Chose Cisco Webex Support
GoToAssist was the product we used previously that we replaced with WebEx Support Center. While GoToAssist is certainly a good product and it worked quite well for us, we as a team feel that WebEx Support Center is a more robust overall product. They have a great deal of …

LogMeIn Central by GoTo generally outperforms TeamViewer and ConnectWise ScreenConnect in several key areas. While both alternatives have their merits, they come with drawbacks such as higher costs and performance issues over slow connections. A significant differentiator for …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
LogMeIn Central by GoTo for connecting remotely to PCs and servers stacks up really well. I find it more reliable and secure.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
LogMeIn Central by GoTo, AnyDesk, and TeamViewer offer distinct advantages in the realm of remote access and IT management.

LogMeIn Central stands out for its balance between comprehensive features and user-friendly interface, with a strong emphasis on security.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
LogMeIn Central by GoTo is better than Team Viewer in it's central management portal and it's remote installation by end users without needing to pass any kind of login or access codes back and forth to gain remote access.
Its remote control is much better than Splashtop in that …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
We use both LogMeIn Central by GoTo and a true RMM product. LogMeIn Central by GoTo has its role as an easier method to remotely access selected oft-used machines, whereas the RMM product is much, much more cost effective to rollout to entire infrastructure footprints.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
Even when I've already logged in, there are situations where I need to confirm my email address while logging into a website. It prohibits the simultaneous log-in of several accounts. When you switch between accounts, you are automatically logged out. LogMeIn Central is far …

I like all of the products I list. I have worked with Connect Wise and MS Intune. Kaseya VSA was part of the initial review list of products, however it was eliminated. MS and CW are good they have many of the similar items the LogMeIn Central by GoTo does, Remote Management, …

The closets of the above mentioned would be screenconnect and we do have some clients that use it. Screenconnect is a little cheaper for the client to use compared the LogMeIn Central by GoTo but the overall ease of use is better the LogMeIn Central by GoTo. Anydesk, RemotePC …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
LogMeIn Central along with Rescue are our go to for solving and maintaining issues. It's support and documentation I feel are much better than others in the past. I learning curve seems easier for our users and techs, and just overall feels more secure and professional for our …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
Very similar to GotoMyPC (LogMeIn was rebranded as GoTo, hence the UI change I mentioned), Splashtop, and TeamViewer, as far as cost, usability, features.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
Essentially, it comes down to cost. Central has a higher-pricing point than other tools.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
In our quotations and evaluation of the suppliers the best proposal and best service was from Central. The company asks to quote 3 companies, and the best of them in our evaluation taking into account cost benefit was Central (LogMeIn). The access to computers in Central's …

Pricing with Central was more competitive and the feature set was close. We did prefer some features of Control however the pricing model was much better for us with Central.

LogmeIn Central is the fastest RMM in terms of remote connection. It generally performs well on networks that have low bandwidth too. In terms of features, Datto RMM does best it because it offers such a good platform for integrations and also for scripting. The community is …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
As mentioned already, Central is very flexible to remote share. So, we kept an auto-option, whenever user raise ticket, it should auto-capture the hostname based on his Employee ID. With that, no more asking user to provide anydesk/team viewer ID to beep in inside user machine …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo

Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
I did not like the Kaseya product, it was difficult to us and had constant connection issues. We currently utilize Endpoint Central and love it. However, we will maintain Central for the screen sharing product. TeamViewer is ok but is slow and clunky.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
TeamViewer is also very functional, but for our use, it would’ve been more expensive.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
Well, it's the other way around. We used LogMeIn Central for 6 years. It always worked for us. The biggest issue we had was performance and cost. Initially, the cost was very low for a subscription, but as time passed, the cost increased to a level where we thought it wasn't …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
We have always found that our clients preferred LogMeIn Central even if they had to pay a little more [for] it! The interface is simple to use, and it's available for so many different platforms.

It allows me to be able to access other systems without the employee having to have account as well. Long as [LogMeIn Central] is installed on their system I am able to access it. The other system there were a lot of restrictions due to the fact that it required them to need an …

Likelihood to Recommend
WebEx Support Center does what it is designed to do very well. If you need robust, efficient, and comprehensive remote support software, look no further. There are certainly other products that are simpler, and other products that are a bit "prettier" from a UI standpoint, but in terms of overall functionality, WebEx Support Center is hard to beat. If you're a company on a very tight budget, there are certainly cheaper options available, however.

From a single place, I can use LogMeIn Central to monitor which machines need upgrades and determine whether to delay them until after isolated testing. I can also use the One2Many tool to arrange batch updates for third-party software. Plus, it enables me to provide Ad Hoc Support sessions to staff members who are experiencing problems with their client computers.

Pros
  • Webex has helped us increase and streamline support to our customers.
  • It allows us to enable forums or collaborative spaces to explain to clients and coworkers solution to certain problems
Read full review

  • Remote control for troubleshooting IT support staff along with remote deployment options.
  • Easy user management with intuitive UI arrangements for effective and easy control permission and computer grouping.

Cons
  • [In my experience], when there are issues, they sometimes ask for us to run tracelogs on the impacted participant's computer. Sometimes those participants use machines that are not managed by us and they are unwilling to get those logs. Ideally, [I feel] Webex can gather all the information from their side versus the participant side.
  • While I do appreciate the constant follow up, sometimes it is overwhelming. I know they are trying to clear their queues, but it seems like they email once a day if they have not heard back from you [in my experience].
  • Their support hours should coincide with my local hours of operation. Most of the support people I have worked with are located internationally and their hours of response are the opposite of my working hours.

  • Pricing structure is a bit confusing - there are various add-ons that can seriously increase your cost
  • More integrations with software such as Antivirus vendors would be nice
  • No Chromebook client at all, and isn't as good with Mac's either
  • You can only have 1 technician on a PC at a time

Webex is well known by many other companies. It is easy to use and versatile. This familiarity builds a standard to conferencing and users are more comfortable using it. If you want to be safe with a choice of the many conferencing tools out there, Webex will be your best bet

What I dont like is when I run out of licenses that the only way to get more is to buy large amounts. this is very frustrating and as a small business I need to watch how much i am spending. smaller license packs would be better

Usability
Honestly, there are people available. But none of them will help you with your issues. They just keep assigning new service engineers who are often clueless.
Read full review
The LogMeIn Central is simple to use. You can easily manage computers and servers by creating different groups. Connecting to a remote computer is a simple click-on button. You don't need the remote user's password if [they are] already logged in. You don't need the remote user on the other side if you want to take full control. Overall the usability is simple.

It has saved us countless times, and we didn't need to get boots on the ground to fix or maintain patches or errors. Being able to solve a number of issues for a central location without having to have a tech travel is invaluable as far as resources and time spent for everyone.

Support Rating
The support team is highly incompetent. The only thing that they are able to do flawlessly is register an issue and open the case. But this case related to the issue is never resolved. They will forward the case or assign a new service engineer. But the case will never be resolved. At least not soon. They take weeks to resolve issues.

Every time I called in with a question or concern, your support team always provided the right information. It's great to call in to support and everyone that answers is very knowledgeable of the product.

Logmein GoToAssist
    • Logmein-GoToAssist is the product we used previously and still to some degree use with WebEx Support Center. It was not always reliable and suffered with network congestion but worked quite well for us, we as a team feel that WebEx Support Center is a more reliable and a better overall product. This to me is due to the simplicity of the UI and ease of use as well as the quality of the network performance.
Kaseya with VNC Connect
  • We use within Kaseya for our internally servers and local office users due to cost and efficiency, but it is more intended as console-level access and has a bit more features then WebEx Support Center, however is not good for remote support for our users who travel as it is slow.

Return on Investment
  • Initially the ROI was very good. We tried to leave and use another platform (cost issues) and didn't have as much success so we came back to Cisco Webex Support.
  • It allowed us to provide support to employees and clients as we needed to be able to provide it.

  • Time, many times when some service needed privileged access (administrator) the resolver agent needed to go to the user and this travel time (10 - 15 minutes) because this is a large company. Basically we reduced 50 minutes of service to 20, even 10 minutes
  • After the implementation we achieved a 20% increase in our ticket resolution rate and a 57% increase in the SLA service rate
