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

"Unattended remote assistance."
"When the pandemic hit, it worked out well because we already had the clients installed on it and we were able to remote in to do the work the same as if they were sitting there."
"If you need unattended access, then LogMeIn; I haven't found anything better."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."
"​The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time, and I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"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."
"TeamViewer allows us to do multiple controllers on a Host, which is great. We have a lot of Macs in our organization, and TeamViewer being cross-platform is a good thing."
"The best feature of TeamViewer is that I can transfer software from my system to my client's system in just a few minutes."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote control a computer system. Overall it is a complete solution."
"The product is easy to install."
 

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."
"Client setup."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years."
"The price. I complain about it all the time."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"There is a limit on the number of people who can attend a meeting. Currently, I use Zoom for our pre-construction meetings because I can have up to 25 people."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone."
"In the past, use in wireless environments caused buffering due to limited bandwidth."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"We access the solution through a VPN, which improves our security. However, earlier this year, around the beginning of March, a CVE in the TeamViewer client allowed remote connections to other network systems, which was concerning. You could have unintentionally gained admin rights if you didn't update TeamViewer promptly. It's crucial to always keep it updated to prevent such issues. The tool should consider implementing two-factor authentication to improve such security holes. It should also integrate good security updates, which should be implemented automatically."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"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."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"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 use the free version of TeamViewer."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
