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 …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
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, …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
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 …

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 …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
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.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
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
The most valuable or powerful or reliable feature I'd say it's simplicity and easy to access and complete tasks on time. Its single pane where we have all the control systems, tools and features. I also like how the remote connection is stable and fast. The support is very …
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.
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
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 …
Chose LogMeIn Central by GoTo
We currently use LogMeIn and Zoho Assist for different purposes. LogMeIn provides a much better experience for our employees and faster connection in my opinion. Zoho Assist is used as any additional tool for IT support only where we can remotely connect at the same time a …

Chose Splashtop
Splashtop Enterprise was easier for our clients to use than LogMeIn Rescue that we used to use. It is a more lightweight and robust feeling software. The biggest benefit for us was the cost of Splashtop vs LogMeIn.
Chose Splashtop
Teamviewer is good for IT support individual remote computers, when doing connection, what we need is only remote party's ID and password, no other authentication is needed. The authentication is verbally over the phone when IT talks to the supported customers. However, this is …
Chose Splashtop
I prefer TeamViewer but it costs a lot more. We do also use TeamViewer for unattended access but the cost is so great that we might look at alternatives when our license expires. If the price was not an issue I would pick TeamViewer Quick Support over Splashtop SOS but for …
Chose Splashtop
cost, it is only a fraction of the cost of Teamviewer, also, same number of features for remote desktop but more new features for remote IT management of the computers with the client installed. No brainer.
Chose Splashtop
Teamviewer and Logmein were just to expensive, VNC has issues with windows 10 and RDP requires port forwarding in the router, so its fine for servers, but not ideal as a remote support system. Splashtop was easier or cheaper than anything else we tried.
Chose Splashtop
  • Team viewer is expensive
  • Chrome Remote Desktop is hard to use at times, makes the screen smaller, and is hard to use on multi-user screens
  • Windows Remote Desktop does not let you sign in as the local user
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop Business Enterprise is actually easier to implement and get it up and running, all users have to do is download the standard or personalize file and run it, then share the code with you and you are all set to go, i like it because you can even do it from your phone if …
Chose Splashtop
After evaluating several possible remote support products, Splashtop SOS represented the best value for money to a small business owner. This was largely due to its tiered licensing structure, with the base Splashtop SOS solution providing all the features I needed. This …
Chose Splashtop
[In my experience] TeamViewer is just too expensive for what I consider marginal benefit. Splashtop SOS works incredibly well, and while [I feel] TeamViewer does have a performance edge, I just can't justify the massive increase in cost. Plus, to my knowledge, TeamViewer's …
Chose Splashtop
Competitors did not have the same great level of performance. Had more disconnects with those as well.
Chose Splashtop
It's certainly not as feature rich or the same level of remote management system, but Splashtop SOS is a fraction of the cost and does exactly what I need it to do.
Chose Splashtop
Cost is the best competing factor.
Chose Splashtop
Simply put, Splashtop SOS works. The remote control feature of SOTI's MobiControl just didn't work for us. We spent countless hours working with SOTI to get additional apps to support remote control for various Lenovo tablets. It was a huge burden and it just didn't work. …
Chose Splashtop
I have not looked at TeamViewer in quite some time but I found Splashtop SOS for me to be at least a 1 to 1 feature switch. And right now connecting to mobile devices to see a customers screen is included with Splashtop SOS and it is a real value add. I hope it says that way. …
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop SOS is similar [for remote control and support] to N-able RMM, and Teamviewer. The selection of Splashtop SOS is primarily for cost control.
Chose Splashtop
I find that Splashtop SOS is as easy or easier to use. LogMeIn was a very great deal more expensive and I would not be able to regain much return on that investment.
Chose Splashtop
Splashtop SOS is significantly more affordable than its competitors for smaller operations like ours. The base subscription is more than adequate for our use, whereas most competitors overkill single-user capacity. Additionally, competitive products frequently restrict the …
Chose Splashtop
Price and easy of setup plus connection setup is better with Splashtop [SOS]
Chose Splashtop
Initially, it was the cost but, I almost went with TeamViewer because at the time of evaluation Splashtop [SOS] did not support user switching while staying connected (running as a service). This was a deal-breaker for me due to my clients not being an admin. I was going to go …

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.

Well Suited for Remote users with PCs needing to login to specific remote PC's. It is less functional for remote users on Cell phones although Cell phone users can look on the remote PC to see if they need to logon from a desktop to conduct transactions

  • Unbelievable performance! It's so fast I tested a PC game through it just for fun, and it was incredible!
  • The increase in productivity throughout our organization has been notable. The flexibility of employees to occasionally work remotely, when needed, has been hugely beneficial.
  • Enterprise IT tools like One-to-Many actions has saved us a lot of time and headache in certain situations, such as deploying a basic MSI or script. SOS has been a saving grace for some employees to receive remote IT support in emergency situations, as well.

Cons
  • 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
Read full review
  • Splashtop had a functionality issue with a Mac OS upgrade recently that prevented remote access for about two weeks. I had to request tickets directly and they had known about the impending issue without a collaborative solution between them and Apple.
  • Better Beta testing for version upgrades is always needed. Software is constantly changing so these types of platforms need to be at the forefront of resolving interoperability issues with Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.
  • The tech support for the issue I experience could have been more proactive. I was providing my client's IT provider and Splashtop with updates on the bug issue, where it should have been the other way around.

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

I believe that I will renew Splashtop without any problems in the coming years as eating stable costs without increases even in critical periods such as the Covid virus, Splashtop allows access to 25 unattended stations and has continuous updates and new features. It also allows resale to users with sub-accounts

Usability
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's hard to find any significant faults with Splashtop. It offers a very responsive remote access experience with clear and simple interface. There's very little learning curve as it's toolbar mimics other popular remote access solutions graphical user interface. It's gives you access to your remote computer quickly and stays out of your way

Reliability and Availability
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.

I've never had any issues with it, nor any connectivity issues. They always say when they'll be maintaining the system and it's always in the odd hours, so nobody uses then. But I've never had any issues.

Splashtop has good customer support - they respond quickly and provide adequate solutions, but we honestly rarely find ourselves needing to reach out to them. The software is so easy to use and about as plug-and-play as it gets, so we generally don't run into an issue that does not have an immediate, obvious solution provided in the software.

Return on Investment
  • 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
Read full review
  • Since we cannot utilize an enterprise-level POS system, Splashtop bridges the data gap between our store locations and our headquarters. This is what enables us to function. Without remote terminal access, our business would be unable to operate. Period. I can't overstate this.
