Central

Endpoint management for desktops, servers & mobile laptops

About Central

GoTo Central is an endpoint management solution which helps IT professionals to monitor, manage, and secure their organization's endpoint infrastructure including desktops, servers and laptops. Users can remotely deploy and automate routine IT tasks for any PC or Mac from anywhere, via any Android or iOS device. Key features include computer grouping, remote deployment, user management, anti-virus protection, and computer health monitoring.

GoTo Central’s remote access feature enables users to remotely control computers from any location, and get access to the desktop as well as all applications, files and information from their own device. The remote control tool allows the user to control the entire computer of a remote employee and other endpoints across the globe from a single location. Users can remotely deploy and setup installation packages on multiple computers at a time, create automated deployment tasks, and transfer files between computers using drag-and-drop.

With GoTo Central, organizations can maintain control of their servers and workstations, and track and protect all IT assets from a single location with features for software patching, anti-virus integrations, real-time monitoring, proactive alerts, and more. Automated task management allows for the remote installation of software, file distribution, and the ability to run scripts for proactive endpoint support. Users can also centrally schedule and manage all Windows updates across all endpoints using GoTo Central, and identify any vulnerable third party updates to deploy patches. Additional tools include advanced reporting, ad hoc support, user management, self-healing alerts, background access, and more.

    The overall flexibility of the subscriptions allows for scalability for small to large IT firms looking for a flexible and customizable solution. The ability to have access to reports showing everything from attempted access to duration of access.

    Pros

    Flexible subscription options. The charts & reports are very useful.

    Cons

    A few major changes were rolled out, but not made public to even the subscribed users till last minute.

    Easy to use remote support tool

    Reviewed on 2019/02/06

    Pros

    You can combine all your customers, and even separate accounts, in to one portal. The remote connection is very reliable and stable. Widely supported and accepted.

    Cons

    Lacks some features such as easy file transfer to remote computer. Seems to have slowed down development a bit ad fallen behind competitor solutions.

    Our overall experience with LogMeIn Central has been okay, we're able to push the content we need and remote into things, but the UI and the connection instability make it very difficult to use.

    Pros

    The user interface, for the application, is easy to use and very plain (no real chance of getting things messed up). It connects easy enough.

    Cons

    The website user interface is very messy, clunky and hard to decipher, making tasks sometimes very difficult to run on remote PC's. Their customer service is very difficult to work with, they are a bit curt and can come off as rude. The connections are not always stable, and can drop unless people have a pristine connection, which is very difficult to monitor.

    LMI Central has saved my team a ton of time but leaves us wanting more features

    Pros

    Allows my team to quickly connect to machines across our company. Connections are always fast and reliable.

    Cons

    Severely lacking in features. Alternative solutions like screenconnect are cheaper, just as reliable, and support things like silent command execution, screen monitoring, etc without connecting to the machine. This allows for repair or maintenance without the need to disrupt the end user.
