Featured Reviews

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…

Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"I like the security aspect, that I can glance down and see quickly who's up to date on patches, and who has virus concerns."
"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 alerts are helpful."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use and beneficial remote access."
"The dashboards they have are good."
"I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
 

Cons

"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"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."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"I do not like the antivirus."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"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."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"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."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"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."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"We have a corporate license. The maximum amount number of users changes based on the amount you pay. E.g., with our license, there is a maximum amount of users who can use the solution at the same time (10 users)."
"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."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."

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...
