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."

"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."

"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."

"Using TeamViewer for my personal clients has made things much better for me and my clients because my clients are happy to resolve a problem within seconds via TeamViewer."

"It is quite simple to set up."

"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."

"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."

"The solution is scalable."

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

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

"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."

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

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

"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."

"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."

"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."

"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."

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."

"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."

"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."

"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."

"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."

"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."

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