Congrats! I've seen the problem of group password management over and over again at so many companies. I hope your team's happy with the outcome and that you get to keep working on making this solution even better.
Watch out, Meldium, LogMeIn likes to completely change it's game plan on its customers (LogMeIn mobile App drama) with zero sympathy. I wonder how they'll treat an acquisition.
We're nervous too. This is 2 apps we're dependent on getting acquired and potentially completely mangled. The first amazingly shut off all support for the UK (We're UK-based) immediately. Better for customers? Ha!
Are you referring to the retirement of LogMeIn Free and the "I've been using it for years with 100s of customers (in violation of half of your EULA), how could you do this to me??!" wailing and theatrics that followed?
That was an absolutely brilliant move on their part. They basically gifted all their over-entitled and obnoxious freeloaders to TeamViewer :) If anything, I'd be happy to get acquired by a company that got their shit together.
Meldium is an amazing tool. We use it at Screenhero and it's been indispensable. The acquisition makes perfect sense, since Meldium truly does "LogMeIn"! Congrats to the amazing team behind Meldium!
"The actual implementation continually blows my mind. You're basically using a man-in-the-middle attack for good, if I don't betray my poor understanding of the concept. A less malignant analogy would be to liken it to the way telephone companies operated switchboards before individual telephone numbers connected people directly. You had to call the central and ask the operator (i.e. Meldium) to talk to your friend Frank McFakeperson in Ipsum, South Dakota (i.e. MailChimp) and the operator would patch you through to them seamlessly."
Thanks Brian! We have some big ambitions to extend our SSO / password vault to way more apps and devices, and we think LogMeIn is an awesome partner to help us kill off passwords completely.

Just a short text, flowchart or a video would have been useful.

I am curious, however, how audit trails are followed by both services.
