What is our primary use case?
My main use case for TeamViewer Business is that it is a very reliable, fast, and secure remote access software. I have been using this for eight years and above for remote access. I typically use this to collaborate with the back end for guiding me through specific templates, labeling, and meeting quality standards. It lets me switch between devices easily, which is very convenient. I do not have to wait for any approval to log into the systems at any time.
Besides, it reconnects on its own once the remote machine reboots and comes online. It provides a high level of security, protecting from cyber attacks and aids in providing assurance in regulated environments through two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption features.
A specific example of when I use TeamViewer Business for remote access or collaboration with the back end is when I was working on a LaTeX formatting of a math problem where I faced some issues with spacing the character. One of the back-end team members connected me via TeamViewer Business, took control of my system, and explained the spacing in characters to me in real time. It was amazing to learn in real time, ask questions, and watch them perform the task on my system. I also added the session notes where I could refer later. That really gives a lot of confidence.
I also appreciate that notes can be added once the session ends, which gets logged as well with history. This helps in differentiating one session from another in case of multiple back-to-back sessions.
What is most valuable?
The best features TeamViewer Business offers in my opinion are collaboration, templates, a high level of security, and session recording. Collaboration allows me to collaborate remotely with my team members. Besides reconnecting automatically, it provides a high level of security, protecting from cyber attacks and aids in providing assurance in regulated environments through two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption features. It also allows recording live sessions, which can be replayed as needed for future reference.
TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization as collaboration has enhanced, especially remote collaboration by 60 to 70 percent. I have been able to collaborate with clients and other team members seamlessly. Enhanced workflow efficiency includes faster approvals and a lowered risk of data loss, misuse, and leak through robust features like two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption. It also facilitates compliance using documentation and auditing through recordings and logs.
What needs improvement?
TeamViewer Business could be improved with a very basic transfer interface for files and folders transfer with an indication of the size of the transferred files and estimated time needed. Currently, no built-in or integrated whiteboard is provided. Using an external whiteboard is time-consuming and cumbersome. Additionally, sometimes the synchronization breaks with complex characters like LaTeX code. There is no formatting support for real-time chat for such characters.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using TeamViewer Business for the past eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I get work done even when the internet is a little unstable with some drop in resolution. There is barely any lag. TeamViewer Business is very stable in my experience. I have not experienced any lagging.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
TeamViewer Business is very scalable. I am able to collaborate with clients and other team members even remotely, troubleshoot, and accomplish all tasks in one platform. It grows with my organizational needs.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for TeamViewer Business is great. The support team is very proactive and responsive.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used AnyDesk before TeamViewer Business. The reason I switched from AnyDesk is that TeamViewer Business mobile apps are excellent with specializing in remote control, file transfer, and device switching. AnyDesk mobile apps are also functional but are less accurate for precision tasks like cursor control. TeamViewer Business keeps a detailed session history by default, which includes access time, duration of the session, and device metadata, while AnyDesk has a limited storage protocol unless manual intervention is present.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the price is competitive and relative, but it is a very user-friendly and affordable tool. Compared to the features it offers, this tool is more cost-effective. It is also very easy to set up, especially through the help of customer support, which is very proactive, easy, and professional.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment. This tool has enabled us to enhance workflow efficiency with faster approvals and lowered risk of data loss, misuse, and leak. It has facilitated compliance using documentation and auditing through records, recordings, and logs, and has boosted collaboration, especially with our clients and team members remotely or in the office.

What other advice do I have?
I started with the trial version for seven days. During the initial phase of using it continuously, I realized this has been by far the most efficient and seamless working software for my organization and it was the best fit. TeamViewer Business is a reliable, fast, and secure remote access software. I would rate TeamViewer Business eight out of ten based on its security, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and facilitation of collaboration even in remote areas.
