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

"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"Quicker and easier to connect to our customers’ PCs to resolve software issues."
"Just being able to dial in on a clients server is all I need, and it reconnects automatically when there are connection issues."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"It is a scalable product."
"It's worth every penny; I would recommend it any time."
"Previously we spent around three hours to troubleshoot or resolve P1 issues, but now it takes around 45 minutes."
"I have never had to contact customer support for any connection issues."
"The solution is user-friendly and very flexible."
 

Cons

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"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."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The costs of the licenses are huge."
"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."
"They really need an AMT client and/or iLO client for business use."
"It needs to have proper authentication."
"I'd like to be able to have two simultaneous sessions open on two different screens; this would increase productivity."
"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
"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."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit on the higher side."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
