Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"It's very easy to set up."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
"The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it."
"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console. That seems to be a bit lacking in directions, if you aren't paying attention and you don't know what to do. Better documentation would make it a little bit easier to set things up in different groups and share groups between people."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"We have a corporate license. The maximum amount number of users changes based on the amount you pay. E.g., with our license, there is a maximum amount of users who can use the solution at the same time (10 users)."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."

The tool's price is a problem because TeamViewer wants users to sign up, and I feel most of the products want their users to do the same. TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly...
