Great user interface and easy to implement

I like the corporate looking user interface for the audience and very straight forward log-in process too. The user interface of other solutions such as GoToWebinar can be confusing for a less tech-savvy audience. IBM has thoroughly thought through everything and the flexibility to integrate the API to expand the registration gateway allows us to have an extra layer of security. Furthermore, the brand IBM is reputable in the market for its data and network security.

Reliable remote access has improved secure collaboration and streamlined daily approvals

The best features TeamViewer Business offers in my opinion are collaboration, templates, a high level of security, and session recording. Collaboration allows me to collaborate remotely with my team members. Besides reconnecting automatically, it provides a high level of security, protecting from cyber attacks and aids in providing assurance in regulated environments through two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption features. It also allows recording live sessions, which can be replayed as needed for future reference. TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization as collaboration has enhanced, especially remote collaboration by 60 to 70 percent. I have been able to collaborate with clients and other team members seamlessly. Enhanced workflow efficiency includes faster approvals and a lowered risk of data loss, misuse, and leak through robust features like two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption. It also facilitates compliance using documentation and auditing through recordings and logs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the user interface. There aren't too many buttons that the audience will have to fiddle with."

"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."

"During the initial phase of using it continuously, I realized this has been by far the most efficient and seamless working software for my organization and it was the best fit."

"This solution is straightforward to use."

"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."

"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."

Cons

"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."

"Sometimes, the app can be a little cumbersome when accessing certain aspects of the program."

"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."

"TeamViewer Business can improve in terms of price and the complexity of licensing, which is a drawback, especially for smaller teams or casual users due to frequent license changes and forced upgrades."

"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."

"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."

"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."

"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
