Easy to install and has lots of resources but need to improve performance
It's a remote access solution. We use it for conferences, meetings, and communication.  It works just like other communications tools. It also integrates well with Office 365 and Outlook, et cetera. The performance is good.  It's got a lot of resources for users.  The product is easy to install.…

Used to conduct online third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings
The solution's video conferencing quality is good, and I rate it a nine out of ten. The solution's security features are end-to-end encrypted, and I rate them ten out of ten. The version we're using requires no technical team for deployment and maintenance. The solution has an enterprise version, but we're not currently using it. I would recommend the solution to other users because it has good video conference quality. I mostly leverage the solution for third-party client meetings or third-party vendor meetings. Overall, I rate the solution 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

"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"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."
"Getting started with TeamViewer was easy, with a very straightforward usage"
"The TeamViewer system has some built-in security. The TeamViewer client connects to the TeamViewer host securely. Only a certain number of authorized users on our side have access to the system. Even within that, an individual endpoint can be assigned to a group, where not everybody has access but, rather, just one or two people who are part of a support team might have access to that particular device. So TeamViewer has given us tools to be able to segregate who has access to different things."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The most valuable feature of Webex is if you are using the Cisco hardware it is simple to integrate. Additionally, it can integrate well with mobile devices."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Overall the quality of the solution is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Webex is a reliable solution and has good video quality."
"What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions."
"The solution could improve by having more dashboards and enhancing the processing speed."
"Great quality of sound, quality of pics and video."
 

Cons

"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It needs to have proper authentication. I would like to see in-depth integration with Google and Microsoft products, for example. It would be nice to have a cell phone version as well."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console. That seems to be a bit lacking in directions, if you aren't paying attention and you don't know what to do. Better documentation would make it a little bit easier to set things up in different groups and share groups between people."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"We switched from Webex to Teams because there was a lag in the WebEx experience and also a lack of integration. Easy integration with a free email account like Microsoft or Google would be helpful."
"The product's price could be better."
"Everybody these days uses virtual meeting solutions because we're all remote working. It would be a benefit if there were permanent collaboration spaces for projects. For example, the way Teams has its teams folders and shared locations. Webex is missing that feature, or maybe it has it and I'm not aware of it. However, it needs a permanent sharing location for when projects can get stored and can be a collaboration space as opposed to only a meeting space."
"Sometimes the call quality is not that great. When you call in, especially in an international situation, or if you have people calling from different continents or geographical locations, there can be issues with the call itself."
"Webex could improve the calling feature. It would be helpful to be able to call outside the IP environment."
"There is room for improvement in the chat history and search functionality in Webex, making it easier to find past conversations and commands by keywords."
"Performance of this platform needs improvement. There was a stability issue, particularly glitches that kept it from running smoothly."
"Everything just needs to be shrunk down without sacrificing quality so that not so much bandwidth is needed in order to hold meetings effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"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."
"It would be nice if it is cheaper."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"Features matter more than the price for us. As long as we get all the features we want and it fits our budget, then the price doesn't matter. I can't speak for other companies. We have tried other applications, and we run into some problems that we don't see in Webex."
"I rate the platform's pricing a six out of ten."
"The price of the license depends a lot on the type of service required and whether it is for the entire company or only for a few users."
"I have recently switched to a different solution. WebEx is more costly. There are equivalent solutions at a lower cost."
"The cost is pretty high compared to the competitors."
"There is a subscription needed to use this solution and we pay approximately $5,000 per year."
"You can opt for yearly licensing with Webex."
"There are no licensing fees."
