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.

If I take an estimation of one month, I save around eighty to ninety hours just because of TeamViewer.

TeamViewer has positively impacted my organization because it has helped us in saving a lot of time, as the process of conveying instructions is much simpler now, and we are able to provide better online training to our new staff.

Saving users in the interface has helped our workflow and made things easier for our team because we use it every single day, and we would struggle to support our teams effectively without TeamViewer Business; it has made things much easier.

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.

TeamViewer Business could be improved with a very basic transfer interface for files and folders transfer with an indication of the size of the transferred files and estimated time needed.

I believe latency can be optimized, and security control sometimes goes over the top and feels excessive.

If you had to teach someone how TeamViewer Business works, especially because I am speaking in a sense that I am using it on an engineer level, it would be a bit difficult to get accustomed to some of the settings, especially with the new experience.

Sometimes when I am in a low network area, I face issues with connectivity while using TeamViewer, so definitely in that scenario, it should operate better over low networks.

It would be beneficial to have group functionalities to separate access when many consultants want to access different departments or clients at the same time.

Customer support for TeamViewer is quite slow. They do reply, but the reply timing is more than forty-eight hours, which is not acceptable for any service industry.

One thing that would really help with TeamViewer Business is if they were able to provide an easier way to deploy TeamViewer Business on all devices using group policy, as the current solution is quite clunky and very technical to set up; I have struggled and spent many days trying to get TeamViewer Business pushed out via group policy, and it has never worked as we would prefer, so we end up doing it manually, which is a drain on resources.

I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool.

TeamViewer Business can improve in terms of price and the complexity of licensing, which is a drawback, especially for smaller teams or casual users due to frequent license changes and forced upgrades.
