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.
If you are looking for a client management suite to perform patch, software delivery, and inventory I think Symantec is great. I would recommend it without a doubt if it was in your budget. If you are a very small company and don't use these features to often then I think it would depend on your budget.
The best part is it provides you with the full view of your client life cycle of devices, along with the integration of other Symantec products like endpoint security.
Creating an audit report and keeping it in a single dashboard is also easy. UI is simple.
One of the best benefits of this tool is you can install it enterprise-wide along with onsite employees.
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.
CMS is quite clunky sometimes and the Silverlight interface is acceptable at best. Many improvements have been made in this area, particularly with performance, but the interface still needs a lot of work. When it becomes 100% HTML5 with proper compliance browser support I'll be happy!
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
Support at Symantec isn't that great. Client Management Suite isn't even listed on the Support Portal when trying to open a ticket. Your best bet for support is actually the user groups that Symantec hosts. The members of the groups are usually very responsive. With Broadcom buying Symantec, I've seen a huge jump in personnel leaving Symantec, so I'm assuming the support is just going to get worse. Recently for a simple question, I reached out to 5 people just to find out 4 of the 5 had left the company.
GoToAssist SeeIt was very easy to implement. As long as your techs have a basic understanding of most remote support tools they will be able to understand this product easily.
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.
Currently, I can't take a position [on how Symantec compares] because when I took position at my job, Symantec Client Management Suite (CMS) was already implanted. We're currently looking to try Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager to see if it'd be a contender for CMS. The reason is that we have special support contract directly with Microsoft. So instead of managing multiple contracts, we would only have one. But for now, we're all set up with Symantec so it'd take something great from SCCM to make us switch from one to another.
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.
Better efficiency through image creation, deployment and EOL as single Hardware Independent Images can be created for a large number of devices and then all managed on the same pane of glass.
Customer service is better because we can provide software across campus almost as fast as requested for one user or hundreds of users, all by a single technician without ever having to leave an office.
