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.

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

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

"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."

"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote control a computer system. Overall it is a complete solution."

"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."

"It's pretty easy to use. Just key in an ID and password and connect. For meetings, just enter the meeting ID and connect."

"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."

"I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building."

"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."

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."

"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."

"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."

"It would be beneficial to have group functionalities to separate access when many consultants want to access different departments or clients at the same 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 support could improve their speed."

"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."

"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."

"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."

"The version of the solution we are using is free."

"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."

"TeamViewer pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."

"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."

"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."

"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
