We've found the ability to pre-load PPTs and to promote presenters or mute all to be valuable features.
Global Meet allows us to conduct planning meetings, share screens, record recording issues with recordings not recording or being saved for 30 days. Valuable Features: * The ability to pre-load PPTs. * The ability to promote presenters or mute all. * The ability to upload files and easily share presentations.
Sanjay Patankar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. The file transfer from remote machines to my machine or from my machine to the remote machine works well."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the high performance and it is not complicated to use, neither for me nor for the one I'm helping."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk."
"It's a user-friendly product."
 

Cons

"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"You can't configure multiple, unattended control passwords on the Mac. On the Mac, there's only one. On Windows, there are multiple unattended control passwords. I have people in different departments. My infrastructure people need to control a server and my developers may need to go into that same server. But I don't want them to have the same password... on the Mac, it can be done but it's extremely clunky and problematic."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"...it will cost you $1,500 to $1,600 a year, but when I think of how much work I do through TeamViewer..."
