LogMeIn: Remote Access and Desktop Control Software for Your Computer

LogMeIn is a suite of software services that provides remote access to computers over the Internet.

LogMeIn remote access products use a proprietary remote desktop protocol that is transmitted via SSL.

An SSL certificate is created for each remote desktop and is used for cryptographically secure communications between the remote desktop and the accessing computer.

The service connects the remote desktop and the local computer using SSL over TCP or UDP and utilizing NAT Traversal techniques to achieve peer-to-peer connectivity when available.

LogMeInPro and LogMeIn Free provide end users remote desktop access with optional remote sound, file management, printer access, and online chat features through a web browser. The LogMeIn Ignition product is an optional add-on that provides access without a web browser.

LogMeIn IT Reach is a system admin tool to help IT professionals maintain computers remotely.

LogMeIn Rescue provides professional help desk personnel remote access to fix problems on an end user's desktop machine. The optional LogMeIn Rescue+Mobile is an add-on that provides remote support to mobile devices.

LogMeIn Hamachi is a separate product that provides remote VPN access. See Hamachi.

    LogMeIn is a cool service, but if you're using anything else than the Free version, you're paying quite a bit. I've recently switched from LogMeIn Rescue to Techinline (http://www.techinline.com) which is very easy to use since it requires no installation. My computer illiterate clients have no issues with starting the remote connection, which is obviously very important, and it's also about a fraction of the price of what I used to pay. I'd say it's the best tool on the market based on price/performace analysis.

    Another remote desktop solution that doesn’t require any downloads or installation is RHUB http://www.rhubcom.com, Remote Access. Most remote support products require customers to open inbound TCP ports in their firewalls, for remote access, which can be extremely insecure. With RHUB appliance, all the customer has to do is switch on the computer and connect it to the Internet, that’s it.
