Interesting that you find both apps perform the same. My personal experience is that Crossloop is far quicker, not having the lag that I find in Logmein. They do have different focuses though: Crossloop for remote support and Logmein for remote access to my own PCs.
I was using Logmein when it was just Hamachi, some years ago and I find it frustrating that it is much slower in its current form than Hamachi was. I’m not sure that the convenience/performance trade-off is good for us intermediate to advanced users ….

I know there are many remote desktop software choices out there, including Proxy Networks, TechInLine and CrossLoop, all of which have versions which are free with multiple security layers, user-friendly interfaces, and are lightweight on hard drives. Many are super simple to set up, and some, like Proxy, don’t require installation. Others include a mobile component, which isn’t good for day-to-day work (lots of scrolling), but can be a lifesaver in a pinch. The good thing about them is that there are a lot of choices (also check out Hamanchi and LogMeIn) that you gave use for free and try them out.

Did you know you can add a user to logmein, and give that user only the right to add a computer. And if you only give that user only rights to the group only for that user (just create a group for this purpose) then that user can be an admin for his own group, thus adding computers but without effectivly knowing what other computers there are.

I have had the priviledge of using both software and both have advantages and disadvantages as noted. So what do I do? I use both depending on the scenario or situation. And I probably will continue to use both for various situations as they occur.

Deeply satisfied with the two.
