Remote access has cut critical issue resolution time and supports faster production troubleshooting
Perhaps on the UI side of TeamViewer because we are connecting to different remote desktop connections or remote server connections. Whenever we are working on one of the production issues and we open multiple connections, it is very hectic or confusing to jump from one server to another server. Perhaps on the UI side, if they can improve something related to the view sessions or which session is connected to which remote server, that would be helpful. Perhaps something related to the authentication because it should have a proper authentication mechanism. Every developer should not access TeamViewer or the remote desktop by using TeamViewer. We always have a proper authentication or multifactor authentication mechanism in place, so only those on on-call support or P1 support at that time can access the remote server, but not anyone else. I chose nine out of 10 because sometimes we face the session timeout issue. Suppose during the production support, we connect to one of the remote servers, and if it is idle for approximately 10 or 15 minutes, the session timeout happens. We have to follow the same authentication mechanism to connect to the remote server again. During the session timeout, it delays our process or the troubleshooting steps, which is the reason I have given nine out of 10 instead of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"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."
"In summary, this is a good product that is very easy to use, and I recommend it."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings."
"Cisco Meeting Server has the best technical support, so I'd rate support a five out of five."
"The most important feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"We are using TeamViewer to support our users and it is used for technical support."
"I can control any customer's PC right from my computer with ease."
"Over the past six months, we have probably saved several thousand dollars just in the cost of either my boss or me having to go up there."
"The product is easy to install."
"The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones."
"Using TeamViewer for my personal clients has made things much better for me and my clients because my clients are happy to resolve a problem within seconds via TeamViewer."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
 

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."
"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."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"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."
"Sometimes when I am in a low network area, I face issues with connectivity while using TeamViewer, so definitely in that scenario, it should operate better over low networks."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
"The only thing I can think of is a quick-deploy / auto-installer for the end users."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"Sometimes it gives problems, with the button not working, and I was unable to log in."
"The price is a killer for the amount I normally use it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
"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."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
