Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

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

"It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"For the servers, you have 24/7 unattended access, and for the clients, it may be 24/7."
"​The initial setup was simple."
"For me, it's convenience because I cover three different offices, and I need to be able to remotely access any of those three offices from anywhere, anytime. With LogMeIn Central, I can do that."
"If you need unattended access, then LogMeIn; I haven't found anything better."
"The alerts are helpful."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."
"Ever since we have been using TeamViewer Business, because of how quick it is to connect to a user across the globe, we have been able to close tickets rapidly."
"I can control any customer's PC right from my computer with ease."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"The solution is very stable, and we've never had a problem with it."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time, and I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"The real-time access has been excellent."
"Previously we spent around three hours to troubleshoot or resolve P1 issues, but now it takes around 45 minutes."
 

Cons

"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"The initial load is terribly slow and often has delays with the login page loading."
"The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"I'd like to be able to have two simultaneous sessions open on two different screens; this would increase productivity."
"When clients have a newer version installed and we only have a license for version 8, there are issues."
"ITBrain should be embedded in the product and not an expensive add-on."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"There are some issues with the stability of TeamViewer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It used to be a lot cheaper but then the price shot up (doubled over the span of two years), but it's hard to switch, and most competing products are similarly priced anyway."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"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."
