LogMeIn Rescue vs. ShowMyPC

Most of the time it is great. Sometimes with iPads it is not great or too expensive for orgs to pay for an option to allow iPads to be logged into along with computers and windows computer tablets. When needing to view something a client is talking about. It is great to use login to understand the issue and possibly fix any issues we need.

The primary use case is to assist an IT team working on computers across offices, or at times a server handled by another department. If it is offsite work and we need quick access. It also helps in getting access of BYOD devices of all employees and its file sharing feature is one of the most used in a few departments although support for integration with cloud service providers is a sore point.

• The rescue lens feature has come in handy to save us plenty of times. being able to have eyes on the end users' side to see how things are actually physically connected.
• Having the ability to collaborate with other technicians is a feature that I have not seen in other applications. normally the other person has to connect as well which results in lowered connection speed on the end user's side since 2 connections are running.
• The tools to be able to locate and audit sessions are also very valuable for measuring the performance of my technicians.

We may continue using Logmein as it is the best remote support application in terms of connection latency and control. However, since several of our client sites have stricter security policies they block this application and we have to switch to other ways which is inconvenient

For user i think it needs improvement as every remote session I need to download the app, find it, open it, and allow access. For Agent it is well suited to provide support and preform any task required on the user workstation

I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

Make sure you have your LogMeIn Rescue account sign-in details handy when installing on multiple support systems.

Truth be told, Rescue is the first and so far only solution from LogMeIn I started to use. However since it offers a wide range of tools specifically designed for remote support, it is highly effective for resolving technical issues. Additionally, Rescue provides various connection methods and customizable interfaces, allowing support teams like mine to tailor the experience to specific needs.

From a strictly remote access perspective, the experience is virtually the same between the big three remote access solutions - ShowMyPc - LogMeIn - TeamViewer. They all offer similar connection experiences. ShowMyPC has the best browser based experience - very smooth and seamless. LogMeIn's is lacking and the experience feels sluggish. TeamViewer does not offer this to my knowledge. ShowMyPC wins with the free on-demand access because it is handled via the browser. [TeamViewer] offers free - but only via a downloaded client. LogMeIn does not offer anything for free here.

• For businesses with small to midsize IT staff, the ability to remotely control devices that are not on-site and occasionally out of state is extremely cost-effective.
• The speedy response time of LogMeIn Rescue has been very helpful in resolving issues for IT staff.
• The administrative process has been made more efficient by the ability to remotely log into servers.

Incentivized

• The on-demand access is free - can't get a better ROI than that
• Plans are relatively inexpensive - as long as you are not managing large amounts of devices
• Having a go to remote access solution that enables clients to control access is priceless
