TeamViewer Reviews

We use TeamViewer to offer remote help to customers and colleagues. 

I have been using this solution for about three years.

The solution is very stable. We've never had a problem with it.

Scaling this solution is very easy. There are currently more than 200 users of this solution at my company. 

The initial setup is straightforward and only took about five to ten minutes. On a scale of one to five, one being the worst and five being the best, I would give the setup process a five. 

I would rate this solution as a ten out of ten. 

We are using TeamViewer to support our users. It is used for technical support.

TeamViewer has a good interface.

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately three years.

The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better.

TeamViewer is scalable.

We have approximately 200 people using this solution in my organization.

I used technical support when purchasing the solution and they were fine.

We used Anydesk in parallel with TeamViewer.

The initial setup of TeamViewer was straightforward. It only takes approximately five minutes to complete.

We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable. 

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate TeamViewer an eight out of ten.

We use TeamViewer to do remote troubleshooting with our technology provider.

The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use.

TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux.

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately two years. 

TeamViewer is quite stable. We don't have any issues with it.

We have only used TeamViewer for approximately three or four users maximum for logging in at the same session. We have not tested the scalability.

We have approximately 20 users using TeamViewer. We do not have plans to increase usage.

I have not contacted technical support.

I use Anydesk and TeamViewer in parallel. Some people use one and some the other.

We use the free version of TeamViewer.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate TeamViewer a nine out of ten.

It is generally used for remote control for remote support.

It is fairly feature-rich and stable.

I didn't like the fact that you had to install a client for remote support. If you didn't install the client, you were very limited in terms of what you could do. For a whole enterprise, it is just not an easy task to install a client on everything. Even if you're using SCCM, it is an undertaking. For transient clients that you don't necessarily support a hundred percent of the time, it would be nice to be able to connect to them and support their issues without having to install something on their machines.

In my previous company, we were looking at this solution as being a collaborative tool for the enterprise in terms of video conferencing, calling, and scheduling. They were working on bringing a bunch of products together to make their suite a little more integrated, but it really wasn't at the point where we wanted it to be in terms of integration. We looked at it, reviewed it, and tested it out a bit. We then decided to go with Microsoft Teams. 

It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls.

I have used it on and off for a number of years. 

It has always been really stable.

I believe it is scalable, but the caveat is installing the client. 

In one of the organizations, we used it for a health system, and we were supporting 16 hospitals. More recently, I used it in a small engineering architecture firm, and we supported a couple of hundred people through six different offices.

Their tech support is really good. They were always very helpful. I would give them a ten out of ten.

If you're going to go with TeamViewer, I would recommend going all-in on their suite of tools instead of trying to do a hybrid model because you always get into trouble with hybrid models for collaboration tools. I believe that integration is the key. The fewer tools you have out there, the less you have to support. Your infrastructure is also less complicated.

I would rate TeamViewer a seven out of ten.

It’s primary function of RDP is the product’s most valuable feature.

It has been a great way of allowing multiple users both registered and unregistered to use RDP, from both system management and use points of view - as well as using it to support remote users.

Clipboard management could be better. As could the drag-and-drop file upload/download function (especially when multiple monitors are involved).

For the clipboard management aspect of improvement it would be nice to have some sort of user isolation in regards to the clipboard. You’re already logged in to an account for TeamViewer, but if multiple people are connected (even if not actively on the same remote machine), the clipboard is shared for everyone. So it’s very possible to copy a block of text and when pasting you end up pasting a completely different block of text. Even a clipboard viewer would be nice – maybe show the last 3 or 4 copies so if someone else did copy as well you could at least see it.

For the drag and drop issue, if dragging from a remote TeamViewer window you have to drag and drop on to the same monitor. And there can’t be any other windows in the background you are moving over; otherwise the transfer won’t work. Often times we have multiple remote machines open on one monitor that often overlap. Having to shuffle screens around on the desktop is tedious just to be able to drag and drop. So we end up using the file transfer window process instead. So it’s a “neat feature” to have drag and drop, but implementation has a few pitfalls.

I have used it for four years.

There have been a few times when TeamViewer has been down globally, so that’s definitely an issue for consideration.

I have not had any scalability issues. It’s worked really well for one-machine access for home use, as well with 30+ servers and multiple open connections.

Technical support is usually prompt and helpful. Following their Twitter feed helps with monitoring for external issues and outages.

I have used several different variations of RDP from pcAnywhere to straight Windows RDP. TeamViewer is very easy to set up, use, and instruct others to get running, which is great for support. Very little if any fiddling with firewall rules is needed, so that’s a real plus.

Initial setup was very straightforward. There are multiple installs depending on what you need (host, client, etc.), and it’s easy to switch from one to another or just disable the features that aren’t needed.

The free version is great to get started with and for a lot of people, it might be all that is needed. If you are going to be using multiple machines with multiple connections, you’ll need to consider the enterprise version.

I did not evaluate any software prior to starting to use TeamViewer. The company was already using it when I was hired. But it’s definitely better than a lot of the other RDP clients out there.

Depending on usage, one thing to watch for is the shared clipboard feature. It is nice to have the ability to share the clipboard between machines. However, it also shares it among all the users connected to the same machines. So, in our case, we’d have 4-8 different users connected randomly to different machines. And the clipboards would sometime transfer from user to another. So something that was copied from one user was pasted into another user’s work (can be both frustrating and comical at times).

It is possible to lose connectivity due to external issues, so that might be something to consider.

As with all RDP clients and the functions that they provide, pay close attention to application security parameters, as well as security on the machines themselves. You are opening a direct line of communication to your machines, so tread carefully.

The ability to control a remote client or server from anywhere in the world and from lots of different devices. We have 100 remote users, some of which are non-English speaking. In the past, you had to try to help them over the phone and explain technical terms and procedures. Now, they simply send their TeamViewer user ID and password, and someone can connect directly to their PC and help them.

We have hundreds of remote key users, a lot of whom are non-native English speakers. Using TeamViewer allows my team & I to resolve any issue directly, without having to translate on the phone or by email.

I'd like to be able to have two simultaneous sessions open on two different screens; this would increase productivity.

I’ve been using it successfully for two years.

I only encountered stability issues with the personal/free version, never with the corporate version.

I did not encounter any scalability issues.

In general, for the corporate version, it is excellent.

I had used other remote options such as WebEx, LogMeIn, RDP sessions, etc., but none of them offered the range of features and reliability of TeamViewer.

It’s very easy. The application install is straightforward and registering the licence was also very easy.

Be sure you are compliant in licencing and choose the version which is suitable for your needs.

Try it on your personal PC as a personal free licence first.

I use TeamViewer for remote access to other systems. If somebody needs help and I don't have direct connectivity to their external systems, they will start a TeamViewer session to allow me to access their system. I provide my technical expertise over those systems by directly accessing them through TeamViewer.

I like that it helped a lot, even with low bandwidth network connectivity. For example, while I was traveling, sometimes there were requirements for me to join a TeamViewer session and provide technical support. I was able to do that without much of an issue. It is also a secure solution.

In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously. 

I have used TeamViewer on and off whenever there is a sudden requirement.

TeamViewer is a stable solution. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. In less than a minute, I'm able to install and connect.

I implemented this solution by myself.

Clients ask me to connect on TeamViewer, but it's not my preferred tool.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give TeamViewer an eight.

I wanted something which I could use to control other computers over the internet, and then I found TeamViewer, and it worked great. I can control any customer's PC right from my computer with ease.

TeamViewer improved my business because I can help my customer directly from here in very less time.

• Ability to share any files among others
• Easy to use, and has a clean user interface
• Value for money
• Ability to add any TeamViewer ID.

There is nothing to improve; TeamViewer already works perfectly. But still, I think the price factor for small business.
