Private equity firms Francisco Partners and Evergreen Coast Capital have completed the LogMeIn acquisition for roughly $4.3 billion, the companies have disclosed.
No doubt, LogMeIn's cloud and IT management software platforms are well-known. Key brands include LastPass, GoToConnect, GoToMeeting, GoToMyPC, Rescue and its namesake LogMeIn remote access and remote management products.
Still, LogMeIn has faced competitive pressures on all fronts in recent years, and occasional price increases have alienated some partners. Seeking alternatives, some MSPs embraced ConnectWise Control, SplashTop, and TeamViewer, among other options, in recent years.
Amid that reality, LogMeIn cut about 8 percent of its workforce -- or roughly 300 employees -- in February 2020.
