Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"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."
"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"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."
"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."
"The stability seems to be pretty good so far."
"Transferring files and viewing data work well with TeamViewer Remote Management."
"What I like about TeamViewer Remote Management is the chat feature on the dashboard, which is very useful. The solution also has a meeting feature, but I don't use that. The remote feature and other features of TeamViewer Remote Management also work fine, so it's a good solution."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"I've left Splashtop running for seven or eight hours connected to a system. I've left TeamViewer running for seven or eight hours to a connection or two. I have a hard time working out on four computers at a time, but three is not impossible for me. So even if I've had three computers connected it has been fairly stable."
"We use the product to communicate."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
 

Cons

"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"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."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"I would like to see better pricing, more customization, and increased automation."
"The compatibility needs improvement in TeamViewer Remote Management because there's some incompatibility in some versions of the solution. Some solutions require the higher-performing version of TeamViewer Remote Management. Otherwise, there's incompatibility. The security provided by TeamViewer Remote Management in terms of data transfer also needs improvement. I'd like to see more features in the next release of TeamViewer Remote Management because it's still lacking in features. It would also be good for TeamViewer Remote Management to have a built-in remoting program similar to what Itarian has."
"There could be stable connectivity for the product’s current technology."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten because every application gets bugs. So, there are some instances where it might be buggy and hanging."
"The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper."
"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
"Integration with other tools would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"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."
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
"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."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"Our licenses for TeamViewer Remote Management are being managed directly by our procurement team. If we need more licenses they handle it."
"My company needs to pay towards the solution's annual licensing subscription costs. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"Users need to pay a yearly license for TeamViewer Remote Management."
"It is a licensed product."
"The solution's license is expensive."
