    Chose LogMeIn Rescue
    TeamViewer requires the client's/remote users TeamViewer version to be up to date in order to establish connectivity which is not the case with Rescue. Otherwise it ticks all the boxes. Never had issues with AnyDesk. Works well too however the software needs to be there on the …

    Rescue is cheaper and lightweight and works in the browser without local installation. this facilitates faster setup and easy access to help users solve their issues. TeamViewer requires a download but no admin access to install. this is more lightweight

    Chose LogMeIn Rescue
    UI (user interface) is pretty easy to use, you can use rescue from a desktop version or the web when others such as dameware you needed to have the software installed and the affected user needed to be on VPN, so you could take over their system.

    When we evaluated Citrix Workspace a few years ago the app environment was not as easy to use as LogMeIn Rescue. Things may have changed but we have not gone back to re-evaluate. Some of our team members still use TeamViewer and the product is rated as highly as Rescue among …

    I have used TeamViewer when a client was not able to connect via Rescue and already had TeamViewer installed on their system. I found it took longer to do the same things that I was able to do with Rescue.

    Chose LogMeIn Rescue
    The two products are very similar; however, the layout of LogMeIn Rescue makes it a more user-friendly application. LogMeIn Rescue was a little more complex to get working through our firewall, which tells me it is a little more secure of an application. LogMeIn Rescue has a …

    Chose LogMeIn Rescue
    LogMeIn Rescue is much more lightweight and aimed at the "help on the spot" style of support, whereas TeamViewer is more of a "help any time" model. Price-wise, LogMeIn Rescue is cheaper, and its capabilities are matched to its cost while still being very useful in situations …

    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    Depending on the situation, Rescue would probably be my first choice against the other products I've listed above, except for personal use (ie remote logging into my computer from my smart phone). As long as the connection is good on both ends it's a useful tool to help …

    All of them provide the same sort of solutions. However, their customer service and the complexity of the features vary, and it was down to which one we found to be the easiest to set up and for our users to use without much support during the trial period. The price was also a …

    TeamViewer is simple but it also doesn't come with all the security that paid for services have to offer. We tend to use it for smaller projects and for our personal use. I have enjoyed ScreenConnect for its easy to use interface and the ability to copy/transfer files. I …

    Prior to buying TeamViewer we extensively reviewed a number of different platforms:
    • AnyDesk - this is a simpler remote access platform, but I found it to be too temperamental with the connection and more often than not I would have to go to the PC instead.
    • Join.me - in a similar …

    I'm very comfortable with TeamViewer and I've used them for a long time. I moved from LogMeIn before and I moved to TeamViewer because of the ease of use that TeamViewer provided. The customer facing experience for TeamViewer was also a big factor as to why I chose TeamViewer …

    We've tried a few other Remote login services. We've found that TeamViewer is the easiest for us to use as a team, but maybe more importantly, its easier for our customers to install in for an on demand meeting. Additionally, we've found that it's easier for us as a team to …
