Kelsey Braun - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…
GouravSuri - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and offers a good UI to users
In terms of the product's security features, the solution allows you to have team meetings, and you can also use it for remote access and screen-sharing capabilities. TeamViewer is typically like any other team collaboration software. I recommend the product to others since it is a good product for collaboration purposes. There are no connectivity challenges associated with the product. In terms of benefits, I would say that it is a good tool for collaboration, productivity, and virtual work as it saves a lot of commute time for the employees. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."
"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."
"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the high performance and it is not complicated to use, neither for me nor for the one I'm helping."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"The solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
"TeamViewer can improve by making the interface more user-friendly. It looks very basic, they can make it more modern and easy to use."
"The business interface is clunky and not well-documented."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
"The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."
"It used to be a lot cheaper but then the price shot up (doubled over the span of two years), but it's hard to switch, and most competing products are similarly priced anyway."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."

What do you like most about TeamViewer?
It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for TeamViewer?
The tool's price is a problem because TeamViewer wants users to sign up, and I feel most of the products want their users to do the same. TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly...
