Software Test Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good user interface, simple installation, and has a free version available
Pros and Cons
- "From my perspective, the most important is the login."
- "From my perspective, the most important is the login, and in my opinion, the user interface is good."
- "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."
- "There are some issues with the stability of TeamViewer."
What is our primary use case?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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 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.

Global Partner Service Practice at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Highly stable, easy to access, and plenty of documentation

I use TeamViewer for technical support remotely.

What needs improvement?
In a future release of TeamViewer, they should improve password access. Every time one of my clients access the free version of TeamViewer, the password changes and they cannot update the password.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
TeamViewer is highly stable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use VMware Workspace ONE in parallel with TeamViewer.
How was the initial setup?
The implementation of TeamViewer is simple. In terms of the configuration for the server, the IT team does it. I only need to install the client, which is very simple, but I don't know much about the backend configuration.
What about the implementation team?
Usually out client does the configuration of TeamViewer on the backend.
For 100 TeamViewer users, we would need a team of 10 to manage the maintenance.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
After trying free version, you can buy proper license.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated VMware Workspace ONE before choosing TeamViewer. However, our company uses both for different purposes. We use VMware Workspace ONE for accessing company assets and we use TeamViewer to support some clients in some projects.
What other advice do I have?
I rate TeamViewer a nine out of ten.
