Ruined by greed
Logmein used to be one of those companies that youd have only good things to say about but this is no longer the case. Someone in the company decided its better to cash in and make every single loyal user angry by charging them unreasonable fees to continue using something theyve either already paid for (as in the Ignition app) or used for free with limitations or what I did which was a combination of their paid and free services. Now theyve totally removed the free services and Im paying $350/yr from MY pocket to remotely access 5 PCs. Its absolutely highway robbery!! For that price I should get 50 PCs. THEN itd be a good value.
I cannot wait until a good competitor emerges and wipes this greedy company off the planet. Theyd deserve it. ALL of their services are WAY overpriced!! Im willing to bet that the positive reviews are coming from either Logmein employees, a hired PR firm or people who use the service but their company pays the bill. People like me that pay astronomical fees out of our own pockets for something weve already paid for many times over are NOT happy. When I voiced my concerns regarding the ridiculous pricing with their customer service they tried selling me this spiel that the costs are justified by their active development and R&D. Ha! The service has barely changed in years outside of additional overpriced poorly performing services like Cubby and all that "active development" leaves an app thats buggy with an automated login that works 50% of the time (most of the time I have to enter my passwords to login to the desktop manually) and then I cant even use my Google Drive account because, according to Google, they block certain applications that dont utilize current security standards. Sure I can set my Google account to allow weaker application authentication but who wants to do that? Oh this must be all that "active development and R&D" that Im paying ridiculous amounts of money for right? $350 annually for 5 PCs?!
