Great news that LogMeIn is now available for Macs. LogMeIn has also released an app to remote access from your smartphone. The time savings gained from remote access are revolutionary.

There are many other remote support solutions like LogMeIn. For instance, RHUB (http://www.rhubcom.com) is an appliance based remote support solution at one time payment.

I'd recommend Techinline Remote Desktop (http://www.techinline.com) as a nice alternative to the LogMeIn and GoToAssists because it's a fraction of the cost (although maybe not as feature-loaded). I've recently switched from LMI Rescue and find it easier to use because all the other person has to do is go to a URL, get a number, and once you type it in, that's the connection right there.

Have used LogMeIn for years, relaly like the interface ans ease of use. Best of all, LogMeIn is receptive to recommendations from users and the inclusion of MAC control likely started as a user request.

This program is the best kept S*E*C*R*E*T since Gotomypc, except that the free version works so well I'd decline to pay for the package from other vendors.

Lots to like, no problems ... my kind of remote support application.

Great review. Saved me a tons of time and pain. I need to be able to remotely support my dad's iMac in Sicily from my MacBook in Cambridge. MA. I was ready to put up with testing various options, including Timbuktu Pro + Skype, but LogMeIn.com sounds just what I need. Thanks a lot and congrats for the great blog!

HTD,

Thanks so much for the response, and especially for taking the time to check all that out.

Thanks for the great post. I too have been waiting for a Mac version to try LogMeIn. I have two questions, if you don't mind:

1. Does the computer you are accessing from afar need to be awake? For example, I keep my home desktop mac on, but set to go to sleep after a period of inactivity. If I try to access it from my laptop and the desktop is asleep, will I be able to log on?

2. My desktop has multiple users. If the computer is set to the login screen, can i access it and choose a user, or does it need to be logged into one of the users?

Many Thanks!

I've been using NTR Support for over a year now and this is a much better product versus LogMeIn. They've been offering Mac connections for as long as I know and connections are much faster. Further. NTR Support offers connection to take control of the end users machine in addition to share your computer. I use it for my meetings and to take control of the end users machine.

I couldn't agree more with this posting. I have been hunting for a way to support my elderly mother who lives on the other side of the country for the longest time. She, like everyone else in the world, is behind a router (firewall). Her vision problems make the whole issue of configuring ports almost impossible. I bought and tried Apple's ARD. I bought and tried Timbuktu's Skype option (slow like molasses, especially considering Mom is using DSL... the upload speed is pathetic). I have used GoToMyPc for years and always wondered why there couldn't be a Mac version. Now LogMeIn has done it. I am very grateful for them and for this very fine product. I would happily pay for this, it is so good.
