Information Systems Specialist III at a university with 10,001+ employees
It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

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

"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"It can provide good communication with external partners."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"GoToMeeting took a very short time to install and it worked without a hitch."
"It was worth the investment. You can do file transfers and video calls with it. You can do a lot of copy paste stuff. E.g., if I have a file and want to place it on somebody's machine, I can just copy it off of mine and paste it right on their machine. I don't have to put it in a Dropbox account and have them log into it to pull it off. I can do all that right through TeamViewer. When you're looking at the TeamViewer screen, you think you are working on your own machine."
"Easy-to-save access to remote machines: TeamViewer allows you to save machines to your account, which allows you to remote into a machine with ease."
"Just being able to dial in on a clients server is all I need, and it reconnects automatically when there are connection issues."
"There are only two of us in the core of the company and we manage about 500 machines based in the UK, mainland Europe, US, Hong Kong, China and South Africa."
"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations, and TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"One of the best features of TeamViewer Business is the security and respect for privacy, since you can connect to a specific computer using a unique confidential code, ensuring that security and safety are maintained with no problems."
"TeamViewer is very easy to set up, use, and instruct others to get running, which is great for support."
"I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
 

Cons

"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"TeamViewer could work on performance latency in slower internet connections by optimizing screen refresh rates during remote sessions, especially when transferring large files or using graphics-heavy applications."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"The price is a killer for the amount I normally use it."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
