TeamViewer Reviews

I use TeamViewer for remote desktop support to resolve issues and queries. For example, when I, in Johannesburg, get a ticket from somebody in Cape Town, I will use TeamViewer to connect to their computer remotely.

I think TeamViewer's most valuable feature is that it is user friendly. Creating passwords is easy and so is security.

TeamViewer is a step ahead of solutions like, for example, AnyDesk. With AnyDesk, when you connect, if you didn't configure it to connect with your own password, you actually have to wait for somebody to accept your connection. With TeamViewer, you don't have to do that. As long as you've got your user ID as well as password, then you can just connect any time.

One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine. It would also be great to be able to share a screen using TeamViewer like you would with Skype for Business.

I started using TeamViewer in 2014, so I have been using it for almost seven years.

TeamViewer is a very good product to use. The cost is not that high and there is a free version you can test out. If you are still new in the business, then you can use the free version indefinitely. If you are happy with it, then obviously you can update.

I would say it is easy to scale. At my company, I am the only one using it at the moment because I deal with the IT stuff. When I was working for an IT company, the whole department used TeamViewer to connect remotely to our client's machines.

I'm currently using TeamViewer on a daily basis but I never had issues with TeamViewer. Since I'm a senior level IT professional, when there is a problem with TeamViewer in my company, my colleagues usually escalate it to me.

Also, we acquired TeamViewer from a third-party, so we do not have direct access to TeamViewer's technical support. 

The initial setup was simple for me because I am used to configuring much more complicated stuff. But, even someone who is not in IT can still use it.

I deployed the solution myself in less than 30 minutes. However, how difficult a deployment is depends on how many PCs it has to be installed on. Obviously if it's 10, then it's going to take longer, but if it's one PC, then it can be done in less than 15 minutes.

It does require some maintenance when it comes to updates and making sure all your machines are running the same version. 

I think the price is reasonable. When a company develops software, they are creating a product. The purpose is to help people and also to make money. With this in mind, TeamViewer has a good price because you can still use it well without running into any issues. 

You can get a trial version but you cannot use it for free forever. If you are using the free version, you will have some limitations.

The advice that I can give to users looking into this product is, do not buy a license at first. Start with a free trial. However, you will need a license to access some advanced features.

Most of the time, I use TeamViewer. There was some remote work to be done at the time.

We use TeamViewer for remote access. The login uses a key to gain remote control of someone else's desktop.

From my perspective, the most important is the login. That's the most important because you need that key, and everything else.

In my opinion, the user interface is good.

When the application is minimized I often close it in error.

When the application is minimized, I frequently close it by accident, but I'm not sure why; perhaps there is a way to improve the stability of TeamViewer with the minimize or close or not to close it accidentally, and then you must reconnect, and so on.

Unfortunately, I don't know what additional features I would like to see included right now. I only use the main functionality, and it's fine for me the way it is now. I can't think of any new features right now.

I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone.

I have been working with TeamViewer for a couple of years. I still use it when it is needed.

There are some issues with the stability of TeamViewer.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten.

TeamViewer is easy to scale. It is a scalable solution.

We have two or three users in my department.

I have not contacted technical support.

I stopped using SmartBear, and TestComplete Mobile a year ago. That was a requirement at the company where I now work. I am currently assigned to another project and don't use TestComplete.

I am familiar with GitLab, but with limited experience. I don't have much experience with GitLab. I last worked with GitLab six months ago.

I am currently using some companies in specific test tools. We are developing some test tools at the company where I work, and this was one of them. In the past, I used Selenium mostly for web applications and some other dedicated desktop test tools, but that was also in the past.

I worked with SeleniumHQ a few years ago. Now I only work with dedicated test tools.

In this company, I only wrote a few JavaScript tests.

I have used a virtual machine in the past, but that is different from TeamViewer. I don't recall using another solution before TeamViewer.

From my perspective, the setup is simple enough. It is not complex.

I used the free version of TeamViewer.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate TeamViewer an eight out of ten.

We are a digital marketing agency. If we need access to something in the Business Manager or in a Google Ad account, we can guide the client to do it, or we can control the screen from where we are to create something on the Business Manager or to edit something.

We are in Istanbul and Istanbul is a very big city. I save time since I no longer have to go to the client's office and edit items by myself. We can do it remotely via TeamViewer to save time.

The quality of the call and the quality of the sharing have been excellent. 

I love that I can control the other user's computer to find what I need or to assist them.

The deployment is simple. 

It is scalable. 

The performance is good. 

There is nothing that really needs improvement. 

I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult. It's a little glitch. 

I've used the solution for five or six years now. It's been a while. 

I have noticed some little glitches. That said, for the most part, it is stable. The performance is good. 

Also, sometimes it won't run smoothly the first time, however, the second time it will. 

The solution can scale well. 

We are a team of 11, however, only four to five of us use the solution. It's used occasionally, not extensively. 

I've never been in touch with technical support. 

We also use Microsoft Teams and Zoom, however, we use these for different purposes. 

We also use AnyDesk. I find TeamViewer easier and more user-friendly. The features are mostly the same on both. 

In general, we mostly work with Zoom, unless we have to control the client's computer. 

The solution is very simple to implement. In ten minutes I can have everything up and running. 

In terms of ease of setup, I would rate it four out of five. 

I handled the initial setup by myself. 

I do not handle the licensing aspect of the solution. My understanding is the pricing is reasonable. Everything is included in the price. There are no add-ons. 

We are customers and end-users.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.

I would recommend the solution to others to use. I'd rate it nine out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for remote access. We have been using TeamViewer for gaining access to the other systems.

TeamViewer can be used for gaining access to another system. By having the remote ID of their system we can completely access their system from TeamViewer. Mostly we have been using it for that purpose only.

It is very easy to check other solutions. 

It's very easy to learn how to use it, including the process and everything about it.

The solution is scalable. 

It's a straightforward setup.

The product can sometimes crash. The stability could be better.

Technical support could be improved.

I've been using the solution for a year or two.

The solution is mostly stable, although it sometimes crashes. 

I'd rate the scalability at a seven out of ten. Sometimes I have faced issues with adapting, to gaining a new acquisition. I haven't been using the latest version, so it might be improved. Also, it is now cloud-based. It may have grown in scalability.

We have 20 to 25 users on the solution. 

We've used technical support once or twice. I have faced issues with the TeamViewer application. I have tried contacting the technical support, however, on the first attempt, I didn't get any response so I had to call and call them again. They said that there have been some errors going on with their server and they were affected at that time. They have increased rates. For most users, it means, hopefully, that they have to get more technical support. Their support team might also be increased.

We have some people who are using AnyDesk. Most of the people in our company are using this. It's likely 100 to 150 people. TeamViewer gave us issues, which is why we switched to AnyDesk.

The product is really straightforward and completely easy to implement.

It took roughly two months to set up and deploy.

We have 14 engineers, however, we only need maybe three for deployment and maintenance. 

We were able to handle the initial setup ourselves. 

I am using the free version only. I've never had to buy their license.

I haven't updated it to the latest version.

Without having tried the latest version, I wouldn't recommend their solution completely. However, it is good. If on the current version it is still good to use, then I would recommend it completely to the others. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use TeamViewer for remote access and it can be used for meetings.

The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use.

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately three years.

TeamViewer is stable and this is why many people use it.

I have not used technical support.

The initial setup for the personal version is easy. I do not have experience with the enterprise version. It most likely will be very easy too. You only need to set it up on your system and there's no need for integration. However, if you have to implement the enterprise version, I think you would need an integrator to be able to complete it.

We did the implementation ourselves.

There is a free version that has limitations, such as the time of the session with be terminated after a set timeframe. If you buy the license, it's a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. There are a number of functions you can do with it. When you have virtual teams and they are across remote areas, it provides a means of collaboration. That's why it is very good.

There are many other options available, such as PCAnywhere. Many of the larger and multinational companies deploy these types of solutions.

The price of the license could be less expensive.

We are not using the full version of the solution. Other companies use it for the management of all the application deployments. If my organization gets larger then we hopefully will have the full version. It is a good tool.

I recommend TeamViewer to a lot of people. Sometimes if I have to do a job for someone and it's remote, I ask the customer if they have TeamViewer or PCAnywhere. If they do not have one of them I ask them to download it and they will use the trial version. I then can help them with the problem they are facing. As time goes on, people will start to realize the fact that they need to make it official for them to earn a lot of revenue from it.

I rate TeamViewer a nine out of ten.

Basically, the solution is being used in order for the IT department to assist me in any problem I have with my computer. It’s for them to have remote access.

It doesn't take any effort for me to fix something that I can’t. I can just call IT and they can just connect and take over the control of my computer and fix it for me, and that’s it.

The implementation process is simple.

It's pretty limited on the options they have. I'm pretty sure they can expand the program a bit and have some more options.

If they, for example, access your computer, I’d like them to be able to diagnose and find any other issues on the computer when they are on there for something else.

The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems. They need to look into that. If they can work on the pause button to make it easier to start and stop without lagging, it would be ideal.

I’ve been using the solution for approximately two years.

When we actually pause the connection for a little bit, then we have some problems reconnecting or taking control again. The stability is a bit of an issue.

The scalability has been okay. We haven’t seen any issues there.

We have 200 people using the solution right now.

I’ve never dealt with technical support in the past. I can’t speak to how they would be if someone needs help.

The initial setup is very straightforward. It’s not overly complex or difficult.

The solution may be free to use. However, I’m not 100% sure on this.

I am a customer and end-user.

I’m not 100% sure which version of the solution we’re on.

The solution is mostly on-premises. However, we do use it on the cloud as well.

I’d advise users to go for it and try it out. It saves time for IT, allowing them to remote in from wherever they are. They don’t have to come to you. It makes troubleshooting simple.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for getting remote desktop connectivity and file sharing. We can access the remote desktop or remote laptop by entering the unique ID from the remote device.

It is very beneficial if you are unable to access a device physically. For example, if you want to troubleshoot a remote end device, or if you want to access any file in it, you can do so from afar. It's great, especially for people who are handling remote devices that have less IT knowledge. We can guide them to install small applications and open up the connectivity to us. We can do our work remotely and assist them as required.

The solution is quite stable. 

The user interface is good.

It's a user-friendly product.

They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers. 

They can increase their user base and offer it to more people who will start those applications for commercial purposes. I didn't see their marketing material or promotional documents or promoting advertisements.

Likely they have more features. They could advertise or promote more about what they offer and what they can do for new and existing users. 

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. Personally, I didn't feel there are any security issues with it.

I don't have experience with scalability. I'm not using it for commercial purposes, only for personal activities. I do not plan to increase usage in the future. 

I've never contacted technical support. I've never had any difficulties with the product. It's practically issue-free.

I previously used AnyDesk software.

It is a small application that we can install on our computer or laptop.

The initial setup is straightforward. You just download it and with a few clicks, it is installed.

I don't use the commercial version. The version I use is free.

I'd rate the solution a nine out of ten. I am very satisfied with the overall capabilities of the solution. I'm happy with it.

I mostly use it for remote access to my three computers. I also use it for a pilot when I'm speaking to my inspectors out in the field.

It is a subscription, so we have the latest version.

The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones.

Its pricing can be improved. It would be nice if it is cheaper.

I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers.

There is a limitation on the number of participants you can have in a meeting. That's the only reason I use Zoom in addition to this.

I have been using it for a year. I use it every day.

It is stable.

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. I would like to use TeamViewer, but I can't have everybody participate at the same time. Zoom allows me to have more people.

I used them once when I was trying to get my prescription renewed. Before TeamViewer, they had Blizz. When they phased Blizz out to something else, there was an issue in transferring or going from one subscription to another, but we got through it.

Before TeamViewer, they had Blizz. I was using Blizz.

It was pretty easy.

It would be nice if it is cheaper.

My advice would be to have a deep pocket. Other than that, it is a great product.

I would rate TeamViewer a 10 out of 10.
