TeamViewer is used to access computers remotely. I used it to fix computers if customers have technical issues. For example, if software or printers are not working correctly. Additionally, I can give demonstrations to customers on how to operate any application.

Simple installation, reliable, and user-friendly
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
TeamViewer is a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of TeamViewer is good. However, I now use AnyDesk because I had a difficult time connecting to my clients.
I am the only one using the solution.
How are customer service and support?
I have not used the support from TeamViewer.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used the Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop application, but it's complicated to use. The setup and configuration of the solution are difficult, you need the client to have some technical knowledge to be able to use it. TeamViewer was better.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of TeamViewer is easy, but there are some complicated settings that could be made easier. It is easy to download and I can share the link with a client to download and install it. Once installed, they only need to give me the ID and password to their TeamViewer and then I can connect.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is no license needed to use TeamViewer.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others.
I rate TeamViewer a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use the solution once in a while. It's not something I use on a daily because we have other tools like Zoom or like Google Meet.
We don't really use any other remote access products.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation process is simple. It's not overly complex or difficult.
It was basically just downloading the solution. It doesn't take very long.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't have any visibility of the cost of the solution. It's not an aspect I deal with directly.
What other advice do I have?
TeamViewer is a good system for organizations in general - depending on their customer needs. Users, however, can customize it to what works best for them.

- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?

We are a team of 11, however, only four to five of us use the solution. It's used occasionally, not extensively.
How are customer service and support?
I've never been in touch with technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.

Simple to implement, great for remote IT services, and can expand easily
Pros and Cons
- "The implementation process is simple."
- "I’d advise users to go for it and try it out as it saves time for IT, allowing them to remote in from wherever they are so they don’t have to come to you and it makes troubleshooting simple."
- "It's pretty limited on the options they have."
- "The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I’ve been using the solution for approximately two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability has been okay. We haven’t seen any issues there.
We have 200 people using the solution right now.
How are customer service and support?
I’ve never dealt with technical support in the past. I can’t speak to how they would be if someone needs help.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward. It’s not overly complex or difficult.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution may be free to use. However, I’m not 100% sure on this.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Software Trainee at Eidiko
Easy to set up, simple to learn, and has a free version
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is scalable."
- "The product is really straightforward and completely easy to implement."
- "The product can sometimes crash."
- "TeamViewer gave us issues, which is why we switched to AnyDesk."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
The product can sometimes crash. The stability could be better.
Technical support could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for a year or two.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is mostly stable, although it sometimes crashes.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
We were able to handle the initial setup ourselves.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am using the free version only. I've never had to buy their license.
What other advice do I have?
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.

Network System Engineer at VSIS
User-friendly with a good interface and excellent for remote access
Pros and Cons
- "It's a user-friendly product."
- "It is very beneficial if you are unable to access a device physically."
- "They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
- "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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

SAP manager at Ankutsan
Great for remote access and communication with good reliability
Pros and Cons
- "It is quite simple to set up."
- "The solution is stable, reliable, has no bugs or glitches, does not crash or freeze, and the performance is good."
- "Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
- "Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
TeamViewer allows the capture of the screens of the colleagues on the network.
For example, when the user works with his screen for a process and encounters a problem, he informs us or reaches out on WhatsApp. We get control of his screen and try to understand the problem and then try to solve the problem.
What is most valuable?
Without going to the actual user or colleague, I can access his screen. This is the value of the solution for me.
It is quite simple to set up.
It is stable.
What needs improvement?
Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved. The screen should be something like Zoom when I want to talk with my counterpart. I want to communicate with my counterpart while also seeing the screen.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have 13 licenses. For the time being, the solution is fine and we do not plan to increase usage.
How are customer service and support?
I've never used technical support from TeamViewer.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Sometimes we use AnyDesk. However, it gets disconnected suddenly. TeamViewer is very good. It doesn't happen.
How was the initial setup?
The solution is easy to set up and quick to deploy. You can have it up and running in one day.
We have three to five people in the IT department that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. They are IT technicians.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't handle the licensing. I can't speak to the costs. However, my understanding is that it is reasonably priced.
What other advice do I have?
I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.
I'd rate the product nine out of ten.
I would recommend the solution to others.
