Been using LogMeIn's products since RemotelyAnywhere, which was cut up into many smaller products. Their software has generally been the most updated and worked. The few times a month I have to remote login it was worth the free, in exchange I put more active clients onto their own Pro plan.

The LogMeIn product I happily pay for is join.me, it's head and shoulders above anything out there. Having to pay for two that I use once in a while isn't too appetizing.

It would have been nice to decide within 30 days but I suspect LogMeIn has calculated how long it took customers to switch when they limited the plans down to 10 free computers and that 7 days is enough of a squeeze to get the payers paying.

I had been reviewing TeamViewer and a few others, this will likely hasten my review of paid offerings. LogMeIn's pricing seems more reasonable than GoToMyPC which is $10/machine/month. If there's any other options worth exploring please share :)



NoMachine.com is worth checking out. The client is kinda heavy, and uses a fair chunk of ram, but it's free and workable.


Great, I'll check it out, thanks!
