LogMeIn Free

Oustanding. Incredible. It's real

by: Torrecus on 29-Mar-2008 05:40:33 PM

Pros: It's free (on a certain way), and you really take control on the other machine. It even is faster than PC Anywhere. You can count on it for sure with this program if you have to log into a remote station.

It worked just perfect in conections XP-Vista and Vista-XP

Cons: The fee. But it sure worths it

Works great, very feature rich

Pros: The free version provides really nice and very responsive remote screen control, with a lot of nice features. The new version makes it a lot easier to change screen resolution and colors on the fly, and it has some other nice features (such as the laser pointer) for helping a user at the remote system.

LogMeIn is a lot better than dynamic IP services if you need access to PCs that don't have fixed IPs. Also, it's much easier with LMI to access multiple PCs that go through a NAT router. With Windows remote desktop, VNC, etc. you have to manually configure unique port #s on each machine and then forward those ports in the router. With LMI, you just set up the app on each PC; from then on, you just click it from a list on the LMI site.

I actually switched five PCs -- that are over 2500 miles away -- from VNC to LMI...I installed and configured LogMeIn using VNC, then logged back in through LMI and disabled the VNC software. Now I don't have to leave all those ports open through the firewall for VNC.

Cons: Some cool features, esp. the transferring files between the remote and local machines, require the paid service, which is expensive. I bought it for a year for my home machine on a half-off promo deal; but the regular prices are too high and the multi-user discount is too small. Fortunately, you can do a lot with the free version.

Works well but doesn't uninstall cleanly

by: RobinGB on 07-Apr-2008 08:11:38 AM

Pros: I like the fact that it worked and automaticly copes with Dynamic IPs. But I wanted it for one simple task so Installed and uninstalled it on the same day.

Cons: It didn't unistall cleanly on Win2000, despite the routine completeing without any error messages. I now have fragments of the program appearing in Device Manager, Network settings, well over 100 entries in the registry etc etc. 2 months latter and I am still waiting for their support team to rectify the problem.

I use it to support family pc's remotely

by: kkramis on 01-Jul-2008 06:56:53 PM

Pros: Being FREE is a big plus, but it is secure and provides ease of use from anywhere. If you have a browser, you're in.

Cons: It would be easy for the logmein.com company to compromise the entire world of users if they so chose to.
