Featured Reviews

Pieter Plas - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution with a great monitoring system and ability to control access remotely
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment depends on the size of a customer. We make the customer in the enterprise server, and there is a download per customer for the installation package. We can also roll it out very easily, and when we install it on one or two systems, it explores the network for more systems. We can then fire a deployment package on the other systems. So in one hour, we can do a lot. Most of the time, 90% of the work is very easy, and the last 10% are the business-critical systems from a customer. Also, we manually install important customer systems, like special applications where we like to monitor specific services in the server itself.
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.

Cons

"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"The price point would probably be an area of improvement with the number of competitors out there offering similar features. TeamViewer usually comes in a little high as compared to other solutions."
"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."
"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."
"I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it."
"One of the defects that I have noticed with TeamViewer Remote Management is that if I am on a certain version and the person to whom I am connected is not on the same version, then it does not connect at times until I update the solution."
"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."
"I want TeamViewer Remote Management to incorporate more integrations."
"Integration with other tools would be great."
