LogMeIn, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOGM), founded in 2003 and based in Boston, Massachusetts, is a provider of software as a service and cloud-based remote connectivity services for collaboration, IT management and customer engagement. The company's products give users and administrators access to remote computers.
In October 2015, LogMeIn bought the password manager solution LastPass. On July 26, 2016, a press release announced that LogMeIn will merge with the Citrix Online "GoTo" family of collaboration products. The combined company will be headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and will be led by the current CEO and CFO of LogMeIn.
The company's products are focused on four business areas, including Collaboration services, IT Management services, Customer support services, and Internet of Things services. The products include:
LogMeIn remote access products use a proprietary remote desktop protocol that is transmitted via SSL. An SSL certificate is created for each remote desktop and is used to cryptographically secure communications between the remote desktop and the accessing computer.
Users access remote desktops using either the LogMeIn Ignition stand-alone application or a web portal. The web portal requires either an ActiveX plugin for Internet Explorer, or an extension for Firefox (the LogMeIn plug-in for Firefox), or an extension for Safari (the LogMeIn plug-in for Safari), or a plugin for Google Chrome. Failing that it falls back to requiring Java in order to run a Java program, and failing that it falls back to "a screen-shot-based HTML remote control". The web portal also provides status information for the remote computers and, optionally, remote computer management functions.
The service connects the remote desktop and the local computer using SSL over or and utilizing NAT traversal techniques to achieve peer-to-peer connectivity when available.
The company was formerly known as 3am Labs, Inc. before March 2006. As of December 31, 2012, the Company serves over 213 million Internet-enabled devices, like smartphones and tablets. There are five data centers operating in the company, four in the United States and one in Europe.
