Lastpass is now part of LogMeIn

@gjacobse Android user here... Keepass2Android appears to be a good one... Compatible with the 2.x series and recommended on KeePass's website.

@dafyre I just tested it out now...and it works... So now the app developer knows the password to to my password file, lol.
-
@scottalanmiller Actually I've never used last pass.
I prefer to manage my own passwords.

We had LMI and even bought ignition back in like 2010-2011. If I remember right it was $100 for life. Then they got rid of free, but if you had ignition you could still have 100 Computers connected. Now it's something ridiculous like $700 a year! Who would pay that? Teamviewer is $750 for life for unlimited machines, and it half works on Linux.
-
I can't believe that anyone uses LMI anymore. They were awesome long ago. Such a great product. Now the product doesn't work anymore, the cost is through the roof, lifetime users were screwed.... I won't do business with them no matter what products they buy.

Ya I use either Teamviewer or NoMachine with ZeroTier.
-
What doesn't work about the product?
I'll agree that it's expensive, but not excessively, at least for 100 devices. I have a 100 remote support license for $400 or is it $500? $5 a year isn't bad in my mind.
But I was talking to others at SWorld... They have tech licenses for around $60/month... This ends up being much more expensive, but does include unlimited endpoints, I think, and many other features.
All that said ill still be looking into Zerotier and other options.

It used to be solid, but it got less and less so over time. Now we have issues with both the client and the server pieces working reliably. We've been migrating off of it to ScreenConnect which is worlds better, overall. Often it would connect but fail to stay connected, connections were flaky at best. Used to be awesome, it was a very dramatic shift from "essentially rock solid" five years ago to "this isn't working and we can't depend on it" a year ago.

That is a fraction of the quotes I've been seeing. It was several thousand for us, even with getting the numbers of machines greatly reduced as we moved off of it.

$450 for 10 devices on pro.
-
Pro pricing is misleading as that was always expensive. It is the Central pricing that is useful and doesn't provide the Pro features.
-
Central basic is still $499 for only 25 devices and it doesn't include file transfer. That's why I always compare pro because it has the features that others offer for much much less. Usoris Remote viewer is free for 10 machines, business or not and have some really cool features. More features than LMI Pro.

Central has user management, the minimum necessary for LMI to be viable for a business.

What's worse is if you want something like teamviewers quick support (you also get a branded application) you need LMI Rescue which is $1300 a year.

If you're a one man shop though, you just need a way to connect to clients. You get more with pro, just less clients. It really forces out those very small shops.

Yes, LMI Pro lacks a lot.

Is it cost effective even for that, though? Because it is per client, I could see it working for a one man, part time shop where you literally just have a couple clients. Or a shop that doesn't support desktops and just a few servers. But even there, since you can't do RSAT over it, can't do PowerShell over it and can't do SSH over it, it doesn't really work there either. Once you are supporting desktops and need GUI, Pro seems to price itself out nearly the moment you have even part time. And it creates technical debt to overcome.

Oh no, its not worth it at all. I was saying its closer to worth it with pro than with central for the small shops. But with tools like teamviewer, usoris, NoMachine, etc it's def not worth it.

I've been using and paying for Central for 2 years now. The main reason I'm looking to move away from them is that I want all 110 of my machines to be on a single account. Central cost me $499 last year, and I've never once had a single problem connecting (when using the installed client piece - for whatever reason I can't seem to connect anymore inside the FF addon from my main work PC)
