LogMeIn Pro

LogMeIn Pro covers a narrow and practical need: getting at the computers you own while you are elsewhere. LogMeIn makes it and describes itself as part of the GoTo family of products.

From a browser or a phone

With LogMeIn Pro in place on a Windows PC or Mac, its owner can open that machine from another computer, from a web browser, or through the LogMeIn apps on iOS and Android, and work on it much as if seated at the desk. Remote control is the core, with file transfer between the two machines and remote printing to a local printer alongside it.

Everyday details

The product page lists support for multiple monitors, and an account can have unlimited users. Antivirus is also part of the plans for the connected computers, powered by Bitdefender, so the machines being reached are protected as well.

Sized by number of computers

LogMeIn Pro is sold in three sizes based on how many computers are covered. The Individuals size covers two computers at most, Power Users covers five, and Small Businesses covers as many as ten. Billing is available per year or per month for each size, and there is a free trial.

Not a help-desk tool

LogMeIn Pro is aimed at personal and small-office remote access. Teams that need to support other people's devices are pointed to a different product from the same company, LogMeIn Resolve. Earlier descriptions of LogMeIn Pro say it arrived alongside LogMeIn Central as the follow-on generation of these tools and succeeded the earlier IT Reach service.
