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."

"There have been a couple of times with the handy remote access feature, where I have been asked for something at eight o'clock on a Thursday evening and it is on my desk machine, but I am driving back to my office. With TeamViewer, I can just stay at my home machine, connect to my work machine, and get the data needed without having to drive back across town."

"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."

"It is quite simple to set up."

"I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution."

"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"

"The TeamViewer system has some built-in security. The TeamViewer client connects to the TeamViewer host securely. Only a certain number of authorized users on our side have access to the system. Even within that, an individual endpoint can be assigned to a group, where not everybody has access but, rather, just one or two people who are part of a support team might have access to that particular device. So TeamViewer has given us tools to be able to segregate who has access to different things."

"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."

"Saving users in the interface has helped our workflow and made things easier for our team because we use it every single day, and we would struggle to support our teams effectively without TeamViewer Business; it has made things much easier."

More TeamViewer Business pros

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."

"TeamViewer could be more secure."

"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."

"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."

"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."

"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."

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

"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."

"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."

"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."

"I used 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."

"We use the free version of TeamViewer."

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."

"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."

"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
