If you don't have significant file transfer needs than LMI is less attractive. Having said that I don't think the 2 seat Pro license is so terribly expensive for small businesses. The idea is to get the client to buy and manage that instead of me.
It's true that after many years of giving things away, LMI decided that wasn't a sustainable business model and they had the nerve to ask people to start paying for their product. This is why I've never like the everything should be free mindset. If you have the gall to ask for money after that, you get vilified. But until we've got the Star Trek economy, I say you get what you pay for. 😊
<set rant on> Teamviewer... Another user experience I find dreadful. But that's just me. Multipart forms and toolbars hanging off every edge of the display covering up things you want to see... Just get out of my way after I connect and let me get my work done! And you think that at some point Teamviewer won't change their pricing model? Or force you into an upgrade you don't need because their expenses exceed their revenue stream? <set rant off>
Happy Friday!

It's stable and has been for a while now but the UI still blows, Dave. 😊 No drag and drop between host and remote. No diffing or syncing or replication options. It's modal. It's not keyboard friendly at all. No hot keys. And LMI's compression algorithms are way faster. But as a remote access tool they've done a decent job.
I loved LogMeIn (LMI) but it's costs became too expensive for what I wanted to pay. With TeamViewer, it was a one-shot payment and I'm good to go from here out.
