It reconnects automatically when there are connection issues.

Valuable Features:

Just being able to dial in on a clients server is all I need, and it reconnects automatically when there are connection issues.

Improvements to My Organization:

We only use it when our default remote viewer is not working. So it serves as a backup.

Room for Improvement:

When clients have a newer version installed and we only have a license for version 8, there are issues. If they could allow older versions to connect to newer versions, that would be great. Right now, when you only have a license for version 8, for example, and a client has version 9+, you can't connect and the client actually has to downgrade to a lower version.

What happens is that if we only have a license for TeamViewer 8 we can only connect to clients machines that have TeamViewer 8 on. Most clients download the latest version (0, 10, 11) and only after installing TeamViewer on their side and after trying to connect we need to inform the client that we only have a TeamViewer 8 license.

Use of Solution:

I have used the solution for five years.

Deployment Issues:

We have not had any deployment, stability or scalability issues beyond the above-mentioned issues on different versions.

Initial Setup:

Initial setup was straightforward.

Implementation Team:

An in-house team did the implementation.

Other Solutions Considered:

TeamViewer is our backup; we are currently using RDP and Radmin.

Other Advice:

It's a good product.
