Chose LogMeIn Rescue
As said before LogMeIn Rescue is much more intuitive and easy to use than the competition, I much prefer to use LogMeIn Rescue because it is much better in terms of settings and design choices, thank you for the work LogMeIn Rescue you are the professionals you think you are, …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
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 …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Inferior in most regards. Bomgar does the turning off of font smoothing by default, but it is trivially easy to disable, and the session quality is outstanding after doing so. ConnectWise Control doesn't do it at all. Google Remote Desktop is also great (except for not …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue in was faster and much more user friendly than netop as well as netop was more complex setup and even complex for users as they needed to provided full ip address. UI was not clear at all for user or technicians making the learning curve steeper in Netop case.

LogMeIn Rescue allows you to copy and paste from one pc to another. Quick Assist does not allow this.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
I have never used any other mirroring system. I would not know how they compete but I do know LogMeIn Rescue is great but needs some fixing on bugs and capabilities with how fast the system moves especially because the whole point is to fix and help fastly and in a timely manner.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
More options for agents to assist and easier to navigate around the desktop application.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Existing customer familiarity.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
I haven't used other products, this one does exactly what I need.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Being in Product Support in the company, I require to get access to customer's screenshare and help resolve the issues that they face. So LogMeIn Rescue offers such a user-friendly application with minimal efforts to get those access with all the permissions and help resolve …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
It wasn't fully my decision to change from AnyDesk to LogMeIn Rescue - If it was up to me, I would have stuck to AnyDesk due to the cost (LogMeIn Rescue is much more expensive) and the ability to save login information and have multiple technicians connect at the same time …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
ScreenConnect is a superior product, and we ended up choosing it over LogMeIn Rescue by Goto.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Prior to LogMeIn Rescue we used Go To Assist. However, Go To Assist did not offer everything we needed in order to be able to support our clients. Since the switch to LogMeIn Rescue, we have many more options that allow us to not only better assist our clients, but to do so …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo options are better positioned from others. Also the option to share files, is better to be run in another window, but reflected on main screen. The chat option is my favorite, as it is run by the side of the remote window, not like Anydesk, which is not …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Bomgar does a better job with Mac machines. When a remote connection freezes on LMi, we will switch to bomgar. Bomgar also allows monitoring of customer support systems where LMI does not.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
My primary tool for remote connections is via GFI preinstalled on client PCs. So I primarily use Logmein Rescue for ad-hoc situations. I do also use Microsoft Quick Assist but I find some end users have trouble with that as it sometimes requires them to sign in. Not all end …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo is by far superior feature wise when it comes to other solutions we've trialed.
The cost of rescue is the only part that makes you have to stop and think before procurement, we had to significantly justify our reasons for this product over some of the …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Pretty much identical to the GoTo products

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 …

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.

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

Pros
  • 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.

  • 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
  • one of the prompt in windows users is not vissible, somethimes users missed it and you must start from scratch
  • more documentation for apple users
  • never could record a session, all the time was a permissions issue, don't know how to do it

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

Support Rating
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

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
  • 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.

  • 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.
