Remote support has transformed my work and now saves time with fast, secure file transfers
What I appreciate about TeamViewer Business is the reliable and secure connection experienced during file transfers or troubleshooting processes, even when we have to restart the PC; we are still able to connect to the customer quickly. TeamViewer Business offers a free version for both personal and business use. The free version actually covers all the features needed for secure remote connection, which is one of the positive aspects I have experienced. The secure connections and great file transfer feature are super fast and secure, with reliable features during the process of reconnecting and connecting back to clients. Back in 2009 and 2007, the internet did not have the faster features it has today. TeamViewer Business's file transfer feature has made things easier. Instead of downloading a file from a source like HP.com, we just have to transfer the file from our system to the customer securely and quickly. Many technical support people have benefited from that feature, which I find very reliable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."
"It's very easy to set up."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution. It is not considered to be secure enough."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult."
"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"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."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
