DeskRoll Remote Desktop vs. LogMeIn Resolve

DeskRoll Remote Desktop is well suited for consultant and remote support. It's less appropriate for clients worried about security and anytime remote access.

I don't think I have ever encountered a scenario where LogMeIn is inappropriate. I work directly with customers 80% of the time, and even when I need to help a fellow IT professional out, LogMeIn is my go-to option. Viewing and reviewing all the units I manage is very helpful; it saves me a lot of time, especially after the frequent long-term power outages (where it surpasses the USP's protection) we often experience in our area.

• It would be nice to have a one-click launch capability. There are times when walking through a user who isn't experienced that they have a hard time launching the program.
• A batch file that launches a network connection and the program at the same time.

To us, it just works. and it is what our users are comfortable with. It covers all the remote issues that we as an IT department encounter. We have grown to like it and we also have grown to like the Citrix product family. We really can't find anything that would keep us from renewing.

From a receiving perspective, this software has been really easy to use. There is also the capability to have mobile device management so this is applicable to a variety of platforms and devices that may need troubleshooting. The reason I am not rating it a full 10 points is because I notice the lag time for the mouse is a little delayed on a consistent basis.

Usually available without a problem, although sometimes calls get dropped or users sit in empty meeting rooms while waiting for an admin to arrive, while the call is actually going on.

If you are connected to someone with proper bandwidth, there are no issues at all. With all things, if you connect to someone with dial-up (yes, it still exists), the performance is terrible.

The software runs well overall once installed. It is easy to use and very intuitive from both the technician standpoint and the customer standpoint. There are not a lot of problems or issues with the software, and it doesn't have a big effect on system resources once installed, or when running. It would not be a 10 since the cost of the licensing is one drawback

We've used various services - RemotePC, LogMeIn, Go2MyPC, etc. We have used it all and none have been as great as DeskRoll Remote Desktop. In other versions, the screen is not super legible, meaning the text is fuzzy or ill-fitting to the viewer's PC screen. We've experienced click delays, and recurring issues where we get kicked off and our data is lost. However, that doesn't happen with DeskRoll Remote Desktop.

At the time that we tested and selected a remote access tool, GoTo was superior to the other options tested. Then came the issues with ctrl+key and shift+key combos which detracted from all of the things that made GoTo the best option. Until these are fixed GoTo will remain inferior in functionality compared to other options where these items work the same as they do in Windows.

The system was implemented quite quickly and easily.

• LogMeIn Resolve has increased productivity for our support teams with the addition of camera share. Not only are we able to remote into workstations, but with camera share we can utilize end user and customer phones to visually see physical setups to troubleshoot some situations on the fly.
• Unattended support now requires the agent to enter in a signature key as an extra layer of security before accessing a device, which further improves the safety of all devices registered for unattended.
