Considered Both Products
AnyDesk
Chose AnyDesk
AnyDesk is so much easier to use than any of the alternatives I've tried, and actually has basic features like remembering passwords for unattended access. The file transfer is also a heck of a lot better on AnyDesk, as the copy and paste function just saves so much time …
Chose AnyDesk
The chat option, central dashboard, file management, shared clipboard makes and remote access link creation, makes TeamViewer to be preferred when having remote access required for a problem solving and more, if it would take a long time to be connected.
Chose AnyDesk
They share great qualities between one another. One, however, has the advantage and that is AnyDesk. it is much more user friendly and a lighter program for computers. I recommend it highly over TeamViewer.
LogMeIn Rescue
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
We use AnyDesk software sometimes when it is difficult for people to navigate how to use LogMeIn. It is helpful to have as a backup. I wish LogMeIn sometimes was simpler to use for those who do not know computers well. There are many prompts for LogMeIn and some users are not …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
TeamViewer requires the client's/remote users TeamViewer version to be up to date in order to establish connectivity which is not the case with Rescue. Otherwise it ticks all the boxes. Never had issues with AnyDesk. Works well too however the software needs to be there on the …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo options are better positioned from others. Also the option to share files, is better to be run in another window, but reflected on main screen. The chat option is my favorite, as it is run by the side of the remote window, not like AnyDesk, which is not …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
It wasn't fully my decision to change from AnyDesk to LogMeIn Rescue - If it was up to me, I would have stuck to AnyDesk due to the cost (LogMeIn Rescue is much more expensive) and the ability to save login information and have multiple technicians connect at the same time …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
It was selected because that is what is easiest for the business needs and how we interact with our clients. The others didn’t provide a seamless way to provide support while keeping the price low.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Truth be told, Rescue is the first and so far only solution from LogMeIn I started to use. However since it offers a wide range of tools specifically designed for remote support, it is highly effective for resolving technical issues. Additionally, Rescue provides various …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Both are good but not that user friendly as compared to logmein rescue. Rescue is better when you are using multiple remotes in one console or in one license
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue by GoTo is by far superior feature wise when it comes to other solutions we've trialed.
The cost of rescue is the only part that makes you have to stop and think before procurement, we had to significantly justify our reasons for this product over some of the …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
Rescue is by far the best remote tool we've used, the ease for agent and client to use is much more seamless and the feature list seems much larger than other competitors
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue stands victorious when it comes to remote support of customers across the world comparing to some other products because of how well it work across multiple platforms, providing a vast of different support tools, ease of use and availability. LogMeIn Rescue works …
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
LogMeIn Rescue stacks up against other alternatives for its wider range of hardware support, cloud storage, file sharing, and team collaboration. We selected LogMeIn Rescue for its enterprise-level security features.
Chose LogMeIn Rescue
In relation to other software, LogMeIn Rescue, I believe, is the most complete and with the greatest amount of functionality. This may or may not be an advantage. There are simpler free platforms that can fill the need for remote assistance.

Quick connection with pre-set clients, where you can connect with or without a password, and even turn on your computer if you have it configured that way. When connecting to multiple devices, managing several windows can be confusing when, in my opinion, it could be better managed by tabs with the connections listed sequentially for visual identification.

Most of the time it is great. Sometimes with iPads it is not great or too expensive for orgs to pay for an option to allow iPads to be logged into along with computers and windows computer tablets. When needing to view something a client is talking about. It is great to use login to understand the issue and possibly fix any issues we need.

Cons
AnyDesk Software
  • we should be able to connect from windows to iphone or ipad, it is now possible to connect to ipad or iphone. AnyDesk can work on this.
  • the field where we enter remote address should be more visible. New user cannot find where to enter the remote address that takes some time to connect. AnyDesk should change the placement of it.
  • If we can change the colour theme of the UI that will be an addon thing. when you daily use AnyDesk you get bored of the same UI.
  • Just like a Xmax UI. Any desk should constantly change somethings which makes the UI visually appealing.

This is the best remote access tool to any pc/laptop/desktop. We can make sure that we are 24/7 monitored, connected and if any technical problem arises, there can be a solution remotely with the help of AnyDesk. As AnyDesk has a remote access tool, it is easy to show clients how to do simple technical tasks on their remote pc/laptop just by loggin in from abroad

Usability
AnyDesk Software
I would like to rate it 9 out of 10 stars because the software has significantly simplified the interaction process for us. Additionally, knowledge sharing and team support can be accomplished in just a few seconds through video conferencing and screen sharing. The physical movement of manpower has been minimised after installing this software in our business.

I believe that LogMeIn Rescue is extremely suitable for users of all levels of technical prowess. The user interaction is minimal, and the agent is available to take over at every step of the way. From problem resolution to training, LogMeIn Rescue can take care of it all. LogMeIn Rescue makes the user support process easier and faster so the user can have the issues resolved in a timely manner.

I didn't have any technical problems and I didn't suffer from bugs or errors. Customer service has improved a lot and I no longer need to leave the office to go to the user's computer. With AnyDesk I install and remove programs, printers, scanners, settings in general. Screen sharing is excellent and without delays. Overall, I recommend and approve AnyDesk.

I'd say support for LogMeIn is ideal because I haven't ever been in a situation where additional support was necessary. The program runs so efficiently and simply that nothing was needed beyond initial training that was provided by my company. I am saying this as a user that strictly uses the technician console

Getscreen.me connects remotely directly from your browser, it's very convenient - no need to explain to customers what and how to install. Also, it has a very user-friendly interface. They also have all the necessary features for remote access (file sharing, WoL, black screen, session recording) and are significantly cheaper.
