TeamViewer Reviews

TeamViewer is very easy to use, and I use it in a professional manner to assist colleagues at the university remotely. It's a good product for helping others, especially with user problems, installation issues, or other tasks.

It's not my primary role, but sometimes, when someone has user issues with their computer, I assist them remotely. Even though I don't work at the service desk, I help with security and other problems using the tool.

I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building.

It saves time because I can guide someone by saying, "Go to the third option in the menu on the right," and then click on it. I can see their screen and guide them through the steps, watching the mouse move and seeing everything that happens on their computer.

We access the solution through a VPN, which improves our security. However, earlier this year, around the beginning of March, a CVE in the TeamViewer client allowed remote connections to other network systems, which was concerning. You could have unintentionally gained admin rights if you didn't update TeamViewer promptly. It's crucial to always keep it updated to prevent such issues. The tool should consider implementing two-factor authentication to improve such security holes. It should also integrate good security updates, which should be implemented automatically. 

I'm curious if TeamViewer can track the time I spend using it. I wonder if it records how long sessions last.

I have been working with the product for seven years. 

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. 

The solution is scalable. If someone calls the help desk and has never used TeamViewer, they can receive a link to download it. They can install and start using it to resolve their issues within minutes.  I rate its scalability an eight out of ten. My company has more than 200 users. 

I support others. I haven't felt the need to call support myself.

The tool's deployment is easy. 

The solution lets me help my colleagues easily as if I were sitting in their neighborhood. 

The solution's pricing is reasonable. 

The solution is a good product and makes work easy. I would recommend it to others. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

I use the solution in my company for the remote access it offers to computers. The tool is used to connect to our clients' desktops and offer remote support.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is very fast. The file transfer from remote machines to my machine or from my machine to the remote machine works well. One of the other features is the tool's ability to prevent the remote endpoint from being used by the user while I am connected to their machine. There is a feature that basically turns off the endpoint of the end users while TeamViewer is open.

The tool is constantly improving the software, and it does what it needs to in my environment.

The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have been using TeamViewer for seven years. Specifically, I use TeamViewer remote support.

I have never contacted the technical support for the solution.

I have worked with AnyDesk. Compared to TeamViewer, AnyDesk is slower and is not as user-friendly. The file transfer support is not great in AnyDesk. With TeamViewer, you can actually use drag-and-drop features, which are not present in AnyDesk. TeamViewer is more expensive than AnyDesk. AnyDesk is definitely more affordable than TeamViewer.

The product's deployment phase is straightforward. The tool's deployment is one of the easiest. It is basically just a matter of sending a link to a client to download because there are options, and depending on what link you give them, they can either install it or use the portable version. It is very easy to get the tool up and running on the remote machine.

I have definitely seen some time-saving benefits from using the tool. It is so easy to use and very fast, making it my go-to remote application.

For argument's sake, before having TeamViewer, I literally used to spend four days of the week on-site with clients. Now, I only go on-site twice or thrice a month.

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 subscription.

I am not too sure about the security features, but I do know they use an encryption layer. I have never had any security issues with TeamViewer.

The tool's integration is fairly straightforward. Initially, I used to use TeamViewer as a standalone product, but now I use it after integrating with NinjaOne. In terms of the integration, the tool is pretty straightforward and easy.

I have not dealt with AI in the tool.

I recommend the tools to others. I haven't moved from TeamViewer even though it is more expensive than the other products because it is the easiest one to use.

I have tried AnyDesk and some other solutions, but I feel that compared to TeamViewer, they were all slow.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

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. 

We've found the scalability to be good.

The performance could always be better. 

I've been using the solution for three years now. It's been a while. 

The performance and stability are good. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's a scalable product. We haven't had any issues with this aspect of the solution as well. 

We have 6,000 people using the solution right now. We do have plans to increase usage. 

We've used technical support. We've been quite happy with their capabilities. 

We did not previously use a different solution. 

The installation process is simple and straightforward. it's not overly complex or difficult. 

I'm not sure if we used a consultant or integrator or not. 

I can't speak to the exact cost of the product. I'm not sure how the licensing process works. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I would rate the product seven out of ten. 

I use the solution in my company more for collaboration amongst different teams and for coordinating and having virtual calls and meetings.

The solution's most valuable feature is that the tool functions like a normal chat application. It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI.

Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems. Lately, I don't know if the problem still exists.

I have been using TeamViewer for more than a year.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I believe that more than 700 to 800 users in my company use the product.

The product is regularly used in my company.

The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward and simple.

The product is out of the box, so it is pre-installed on our company's systems.

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.

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 environment.

We have 2,000 to 3,000 TeamViewer users in our organization.

The initial setup process is straightforward. It takes a minute to complete.

It is a good product. I recommend TeamViewer to others and rate it a nine out of ten.

In my personal use case, I connected my system with the computer diagnostic center. There were some software updates and there were some temp file issues that I dealt with and I would troubleshoot using TeamViewer.

The solution enhanced our productivity and has smooth remote accessibility.

The solution is user-friendly and very flexible. 

The solution works well and meets my expectations in terms of usage. 

It's very easy to set up. 

The solution has a free service tier. 

The product isn't missing any features and doesn't really have any downside. 

I'd like to see some specific version of the desktop or laptop. If there are no such limitations, it will be better so that more devices can be used. We'd like to be able to work from mobile to desktop and vice versa. We'd like more mobility. 

I started using the solution two years ago. 

The solution is stable and reliable. there aren't any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It has good performance. 

It has the potential to add the users so it is quite scalable.

I have yet to have a need to reach out to technical support. Therefore, I can't speak to how they operate. 

I've also used Microsoft Teams. 

The solution is very straightforward and simple to set up. It was not a complex process at all. 

It took about 15 minutes to deploy. It is very fast. 

I used the free version of the product. I did not need to pay any licensing fee. 

I'd advise those considering TeamView to follow the instruction manual, and you'll be fine.  

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

The primary use case is remote support.

It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things. Before having this tool, it involved having to touch the customer's PC, which required me to either talk to somebody on the phone through doing the process or go out to the customer's locations and install it myself.

I can grant permission to my organization so a person must be signed into TeamViewer if they're a member of my organization in order to be able to access that machine. In the event that a customer needs access, I can go ahead and define a policy either at an individual machine level for an individual user that we create, or we could conversely say somebody in the company needs to access all machines, which is great. We can go ahead and add that user to the access policy for all machines, so it is definitely robust like that.

It works well on a Linux laptop or desktop. Linux support has been huge for me because that is what I use for my computer systems. To be able to have something which works properly on the operating system that I prefer is great. I like to use the remote file transfer on occasion, but the remote desktop access is my number one most used feature.

It has good multi-tenant support. As an IT service provider, it has the configuration options required to make it work well across multiple customers, as it is highly configurable.

Its branding has been valuable for me.

Since TeamViewer version 13 introduced a Native Linux rather than running the Windows version through an emulation layer, that has been great. However, certain features didn't make it into the initial two releases. So far, the Linux version no longer has support for meetings. It wasn't a feature, and very often a group that we put together recently was looking for a way to do online meetings. I thought, "I have a subscription to TeamViewer that includes that." I do, but that function no longer works in Linux version. I am sort of waiting for that to come back. 

Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone. I don't do a whole lot of support for mobile devices, but if I could just direct them to the Google Play Store to go grab the TeamViewer app, they could give me a number to connect to and I could see the screen with them.

I'm very grateful that there is a Native Linux client. That is a step forward and in the right direction. It shows TeamViewer's commitment to the Linux platform. I am very pleased about it, but there are some things that I used to have when the Linux version was just the Windows version packaged with the necessary emulation layers to make it work. I miss some of those features which used to be there prior to the Native Linux version. Hopefully, they will make it back into the product in the not too distant future.

It would be nice to see some of those other features that we used to have come back, using them on Windows and Mac.

I can no longer connect via web links, which is not the end of the world, but it's a mild annoyance. I used to be able to click something from my browser, then boom, there you go. At the time, it was the old TeamViewer that was based on the Windows software. I had to take some initial steps to configure an environment where those links worked, but once Linux was up, it was no different than on Windows. I could be on the web or in a remote monitoring platform, and if I needed to connect with one of my client devices. I would select from there, and say, "Connect to TeamViewer," and it would jump right in. I can't do that anymore.

The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good.

Scalability is hard to say, because I am the lowest scaled out degree of utilization. The clients that I use it on are relatively small. I am the only person using the tool at my company, as the founding member.

I am using it fairly extensively. It is on almost every customer computer that I support. Anyone who has a maintenance agreement with me will have a copy of it. At this time, that is under 100 customers.

I have done work for people who have used it in larger environments: Hundreds upon hundreds of teams running it. So, I have seen it perform well in a huge environment. I have seen it perform well in a large, multitenant environment. 

I try to go to the TeamViewer forums before contacting their technical support. My interactions with the technical support has always positive.

The improvements since the Native release of the Linux version have been great. They have been good about addressing the most critical issues first. There was one that left many of us that work on Linux and support Windows machines, particularly in enterprise environments, having to press Control-Alt-Delete to log into a system. When the Linux client first came out, there was no way to send Control-Alt-Delete. How do you miss something that important? They were actually very quick in getting that fixed and rolling out a version that supported that.

They have been doing some support for ARM, which is sort of cool. That is the chip that runs the Raspberry Pi. While I don't know if it is all ARM devices, specifically Raspberry Pi support for Linux is something that you can get from TeamViewer, which is beneficial.

With Raspberry Pi out there with TeamViewer on it, you are not having to kick somebody at the customer site off of their computer in order to get access to a desktop, then fire up a browser to look at somethings locally. Therefore, it is nice to see support for it out there.

I came to be familiar with TeamViewer when I was trying to find a way to access Take Control from Linux. Instead, I found out it could be done with TeamViewer. That is what made me aware of TeamViewer and made me discover firsthand that it was a great solution. 

I didn't replace another service. While I have used other technologies in the past, like VNC, they don't do exactly what TeamViewer does. If you wanted to use VNC remotely, you'd need to get your traffic through the firewall and take care of securing or encrypting that traffic yourself. Thus, it is not really in the same league of software. You have to bring your own security. With TeamViewer, you are encrypted out-of-the-box.

The initial setup was straightforward. I use the corporate plan now and have the installer pushed from my remote monitoring platform, so it's ridiculously simple these days.

Nowadays, the installation happens automatically, so it doesn't take any time at all. Basically, when I put my remote monitoring and management tool on the customer machine, it takes care of pulling it down, setting it up, and joining it to my account all on its own.

You can easily deploy a Raspberry Pi with Linux on it at a customer site with TeamViewer on it. Now, you have a machine at a customer site that you can get on it if you needed to use a web browser to look at things on the network, like a printer scanner, or multi function device interface. If your security policy was so you could only manage the firewall from inside of the LAN, then I tend to have some other methods for keeping the firewall secure. Still, this is something where there is a real value-add to it.

I don't have good numbers due to the small sample size.

The pricing and licensing are sort of high. Having been an early adopter of the subscription model, and primarily because version 11 was the last licensed version that I owned, when I was looking at 12, I was also looking at upgrading to corporate. I called TeamViewer sales and talked with them. At that point, subscription was a relatively new option. It was not even mentioned on the website at that time. However, it was pretty easy for me to look at my historical TeamViewer purchases in my accounting software and see that I was buying a new TeamViewer license every time a new version came out. So, switching to a subscription model wasn't going to be anything different than what I was already doing, so renewing the subscription every year was not any different than buying the upgraded version every year. There was good incentive to move from the middle tier to the corporate tier.

LogMeIn started this rush to higher prices whenever they got bought out and chopping off lower-end tiers. A lot of people in my industry had been using them for a long time. I never cared for their solution. I always thought it felt clunky and didn't think it worked well, but plenty of people did like it. I don't know if it was the pricing that was the primary draw, or what, but there were many people in my industry who were leaving LogMeIn after their 400 percent price hikes.

Take the time to learn what TeamViewer can do. Take advantage of some of the features that it offers. Learn some of the best ways to leverage its capabilities.

I have some Linux test virtual machines that I do connect to using TeamViewer. In the past, I connected to Android devices, but that functionality is currently missing from Linux.

TeamViewer had some negative press a few years back when some people had their accounts breached. TeamViewer was being used by bad actors to commit malicious acts on people's PCs, but that was not TeamViewer's fault. It was bad implementation by users. Despite the fact it wasn't TeamViewer's fault, TeamViewer still went above their obligation and helped make it easier for people to properly secure their accounts. I think they did a great job with that.

Increased TeamViewer usage would be hand-in-hand with increasing our customer base, so I both want and need a bigger customer base. Part of my standard support software stack is TeamViewer, so every new customer PC device which is added to the support contract would be one more deployment of a TeamViewer Host. So, I definitely plan to increase TeamViewer deployment.

We are a digital marketing agency. If we need access to something in the Business Manager or in a Google Ad account, we can guide the client to do it, or we can control the screen from where we are to create something on the Business Manager or to edit something.

We are in Istanbul and Istanbul is a very big city. I save time since I no longer have to go to the client's office and edit items by myself. We can do it remotely via TeamViewer to save time.

The quality of the call and the quality of the sharing have been excellent. 

I love that I can control the other user's computer to find what I need or to assist them.

The deployment is simple. 

It is scalable. 

The performance is good. 

There is nothing that really needs improvement. 

I have noticed that when I access another person's computer, sometimes the tab is visible, and sometimes it is not, which can be difficult. It's a little glitch. 

I've used the solution for five or six years now. It's been a while. 

I have noticed some little glitches. That said, for the most part, it is stable. The performance is good. 

Also, sometimes it won't run smoothly the first time, however, the second time it will. 

The solution can scale well. 

We are a team of 11, however, only four to five of us use the solution. It's used occasionally, not extensively. 

I've never been in touch with technical support. 

We also use Microsoft Teams and Zoom, however, we use these for different purposes. 

We also use AnyDesk. I find TeamViewer easier and more user-friendly. The features are mostly the same on both. 

In general, we mostly work with Zoom, unless we have to control the client's computer. 

The solution is very simple to implement. In ten minutes I can have everything up and running. 

In terms of ease of setup, I would rate it four out of five. 

I handled the initial setup by myself. 

I do not handle the licensing aspect of the solution. My understanding is the pricing is reasonable. Everything is included in the price. There are no add-ons. 

We are customers and end-users.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.

I would recommend the solution to others to use. I'd rate it nine out of ten.
