User-friendly with a good interface and excellent for remote access
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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. 

How are customer service and support?

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

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used AnyDesk software.

How was the initial setup?

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.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

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.

Stable, easy to deploy, and very useful for remote inspections
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."

What is our primary use case?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

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

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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.

How are customer service and technical support?

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.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

How was the initial setup?

It was pretty easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It would be nice if it is cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

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.

Simple remote access, logins easy to manage, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
  • "TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."

What is our primary use case?

TeamViewer allows administrators to access computers remotely. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access.

What needs improvement?

TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data.

In a feature update, if there was a bios install option it would be helpful. This feature would allow TeamViewer to connect in the background to the internet and then we can switch on the computer, which would be very helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately 20 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

TeamViewer is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

How are customer service and support?

I did not use the support from TeamViewer.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used previously Microsoft Quick Assist, and it was very fast and has high availability. I preferred it to TeamViewer because you don't need to download anything separately, it comes with Microsoft Windows, you can access it quickly, and it's encrypted so you can easily access those without having security concerns.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of TeamViewer is straightforward and basic.

TeamViewer has the base option for remote access in the market.

Unique emote access solution that is easy to setup and use
Pros and Cons

What is most valuable?

This is a unique solution that is very easy to install.

I use Teamviewer in my personal capacity. We cannot use it for our business for IT security reasons. The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones.

I have used this solution for six years.

This is a stable solution.

Simple implementation, free version available, and effective monitoring
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."

    What is our primary use case?

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

    What is most valuable?

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

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using TeamViewer for approximately three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

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

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not used technical support.

    How was the initial setup?

    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.

    What about the implementation team?

    We did the implementation ourselves.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    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.

    What other advice do I have?

    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.

    High-performing and easy to set up
    Pros and Cons
    • "I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product."
    • "TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use TeamViewer for remote support, connecting to PCs, and transferring files.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using this solution for about twenty years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I don't know of any performance problems with TeamViewer - generally, it's a stable product.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It's easy to scale, but the licensing restricts how many people you can add.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup was easy, taking one minute at most.

    What about the implementation team?

    I used QuickSupport to install, which made it an easy process.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money. We've now switched to AnyDesk, which is free, because the price of TeamViewer was too high.

    What other advice do I have?

    I would rate this solution as nine out of ten - it would be a ten if it were less expensive.
