TeamViewer Reviews

I think "actions" to send keyboard commands, remote reboot, chat, and the settings. They are the most valuable because many technicians will tell you how they've encountered problems finishing work on a system and can't complete it because they can't remote back in without assistance from someone physically onsite. The same goes for keyboard commands, as I can use "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and other commands which has helped me to save time and energy traveling to site.

The one area which needs improvement for both the standalone and enterprise versions would be "inter-operability" between versions. For all the features it offers why isn't it able to work with using backward compatibility. As if one system is using a newer version than mine, I cant connect. If I have a newer version, it may not allow me to connect. For the level of use this app has, this in my opinion shouldn't be an issue. It's possible the app has some inner workings and other advanced features I have not used or tried.

I have used TeamViewer independently via my own personal account starting circa 2009 and have on occasion used it in its enterprise form for nearly the same time.

I've performed a deployment.

I have never had to contact customer support for any connection issues. I have been able to resolve the issues myself as it. Normally any issue simply requires someone to be onsite to restart the service and ensure TeamViewer was on and running correctly.

I have previously worked with RescueMe, formerly LogMeIn and Bogmar. I believe that this is the only utility that allows chat, file transfer, "screenswapping", remoting in, and inviting attendees to a meeting.

I assumed there was no way to setup without obtaining the 'users' approval. As I continued to learn it, I was able to delve into its features and taught myself, although I've still not tried nor completely worked out the "LAN-Wake Up" feature.

I would note that if you're working for/from an enterprise standpoint, two imperatives would be to ensure all clients are running the same version. My other advice would be to assign an individual to maintain the "alias" names of all connected systems and/or groups. In the past I have frequently had to go into properties and modify the information. Similarly, I've had issue connecting to users as that information wasn't updated and it slowdowns work if you then have to resolve this first.

I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer.

I am using the free version of TeamViewer

I rate TeamViewer 10 out of 10. I recommend it as a solution for remote disk users.

It is easy to use. We enjoy being able to save remote computer information for quick access.

I can effectively remotely troubleshoot personnel issues no matter where they are!

The only thing I can think of is a quick-deploy / auto-installer for the end users.

We have used the solution for two years.

We have not yet encountered any stability issues.

We have not encountered any scalability issues.

We haven't yet contacted technical support.

We used Chrome Remote Desktop. CRD was unstable and lost connectivity often.

The setup was straightforward. Just install and run at host and remote computers.

The pricing structure under which I purchased has been great because as long as the remote and host computers are running the same version, there is no need to upgrade.

We evaluated LogMeIn.

From a cost perspective, it's a great buy.

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.

We use TeamViewer for our help desk to manage and troubleshoot remotely.

I am satisfied with TeamViewer, and its performance.

 I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms.

We have been working with TeamViewer for approximately eight years.

TeamViewer is a stable solution.

I am not familiar with the scalability of TeamViewer.

We are a small organization, with 20 employees, and we all use this solution.

We don't have plans to increase our usage, at this time.

I have not contacted technical support.

The initial setup is straightforward.

We completed the installation ourselves.

We are using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate TeamViewer a nine out of ten.

• The ability to remotely access a customer’s computer, especially with unattended access granted.
• I have time to dig through configuration files and logs to analyze issues customers don’t always want to stand by and watch.
• The product can transfer patches and firmware upgrades through the connection, since some of them are too big for email attachments.

I use it all the time so I can see the customer issues and interact with them live. This is opposed to being sent screenshots and having to describe to someone how to gain super user access and execute the system level commands that need to be run after a file has been edited. 

This prevents having to expose curious people to a world of fragility, that most don’t understand. They could potentially break inside their appliance and void their warranty.

I had an issue recently where my mouse clicks weren’t being registered. I had to ask the customer to click on the things I needed.

I have used TeamViewer for 3 to 4 years personally for access to my personal computers. I have used it for a year professionally as a technical support specialist.

I have not yet encountered any stability issues.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

The initial setup was simple.

We evaluated GoToMeeting, GoToAssist, and RealVNC.

It’s pretty dependable and very easy to use. I would recommend it to any IT professional who needs remote access to customer computers.

Easy-to-save access to remote machines: TeamViewer allows you to save machines to your account, which allows you to remote into a machine with ease. Once logged into TeamViewer, all of the machines that are saved to your account are on the right side and you are able to remote into them by double-clicking on them. 

Simple connection method.

Ability to transfer files from and to remote machines.

It allows for easier after-hour server updates/upgrades without requiring to go on site.

I would like it to have the ability to stay connected for longer times. Current and previous releases seem to time out after long periods of remote access. I am not sure what the timeout is set to. I would like it to not time out at all. I sometimes need to stay remoted into machines for a few hours to diagnose problems and I have been kicked out when the current timeout period expires.

I have been using it for over six years.

I have only run into issues on a few machines while installing the software, but it was never because of the software.

I have only called to add a user license and it was a quick call.

We implemented it in-house.

Pricing is on par with competitors, but still a bit high for what the service actually is.

I currently have to use LogMeIn and GoToAssist for certain machines. Both of these pieces of software fall short in many ways compared to TeamViewer.
