    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
    Customer Service was our number one deciding factor. LogMeIn support teams are top-notch. We never had issues getting product updates, technical support, additional license purchases, and any product-related queries. The ability to run macro & micro level reporting is another …

    Chose LogMeIn Rescue
    Have used TeamViewer, Bomgar, GoToAssist, GoToMeeting. LogMeIn Rescue is a light application that is easy to use in comparison to the other competitors. However, it's a bit pricey.

    Chose LogMeIn Rescue
    LogMeIn Rescue is an invaluable tool in my IT tool belt. I don't have to install any software on the client's computer, and they cut my access off whenever they want. In other new client's offices, I tend to see the previous IT guy left himself a few backdoors open using TeamVie…

    While Windows RDP and RealVNC are easier to use from a technician standpoint, they potentially could leave security holes within your network infrastructure. LogMeIn Rescue provides the security and ease of use to provide clients the support they need.

    VNC Connect works just as well as the top products on the market. At the time VNC Connect was priced better and provided us with a simple reliable tool. VNC Connect works well cross-platform which is important to our institute as we are a 60/40 PC to Mac ratio. Reliability …

    Chose RealVNC Connect
    VNC works really well. It gives a superior level of access compared to far more expensive products such as GoToAssist or WebEx Support Center, and does so at a tiny fraction of the cost. It also consumes far fewer resources than either of those two competing products. It's an …
