It creates a web address (/yourname) and up to 255 colleagues can join sit in by keying it into their browser.

Access from an Android device is via the Ignition app. LogMeIn ranks 13th among Remote Desktop sites. Reviewers complaining about LogMeIn most frequently mention credit card, customer service, and auto renewal problems. The free version merely lets you manipulate the system remotely, but for the price of a client lunch, being able to completely control your office system from any other computer anywhere is priceless. LogMeIn has a rating of 1.64 stars from 184 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. There's a paid and a free version – the Pro (paid) service gives you more functionality including playing HD video, printing from the distant machine to your local printer, file transfer between the remote system and the one you're using and more. ![]() You now have the desktop of the remote computer or device in front of you, just as if you were sitting there.

You begin by installing the small LogMeIn utility on any machine you want to control remotely. LogMeIn Pro: An outstanding remote access and administration tool, let down only by the high cost of scaling across multiple machines.

I have switched to Teamviewer for personal use when it no longer free but still have use the Pro version for business use Have to admit that connecting from a web interface instead of an installed client is the true convenience over TeamViewer (which still needs a client installation from where you initiate the remote connection) Connection speed is good without much lag (the lag is acceptable compare with other competitors) Although LogMeIn allows multiple connections to a single host but my usage is mainly one to one support, therefore, I am not taking advantage of this feature.If you haven't thought about remote system access and control for your organisation lately, things have moved on. I have used LogMeIn for personal use since Free version still exist. It would be better if it can re-offer free version for personal use PROS Overall it is a decent product and price is right for small licenses needed. ![]()
