Pros and Cons
  • "The implementation is quite straightforward."
  • "I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."

What is most valuable?

It is very easy to configure and very easy to use.

The implementation is quite straightforward. 

It's stable.

It's my understanding the resolution can scale.

The user interface and dashboard are good. 

What needs improvement?

There are no limitations that I can see. It isn't missing any features.

I can't recollect, however, they should, if they haven't already, add audio to their product. I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing.

I've used the solution for about a year.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Pros and Cons
  • "I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
  • "The solution could have better scalability."

What is our primary use case?

We use TeamViewer because sometimes our Cisco switches get disconnected on the remote side, and we connect to someone that has TeamViewer that is able to connect us again. He does it through his mobile laptop and gets connected back to the switch.

I use TeamViewer for personal and business use.

What is most valuable?

I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

TeamViewer is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution could have better scalability.

We have six people in my organization that use TeamViewer.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is very easy and it takes a minute.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The version of the solution we are using is free.

Very helpful for tech support with good stability and scalability
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
  • "They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."

What is our primary use case?

TeamViewer is for desktop support. It's for giving remote support to users. If I was a member of tech support, for example, I could access your desktop remotely to see your screen, keyboard and mouse. I'd be able to access it from anywhere in the world and I can control it just as if I was sitting in front of your system.

How has it helped my organization?

The solution allows for remote tech support that has the capability for us to see a user's screens. We can do this from anywhere in the world. We don't need to be in the room with a user to help them.

What is most valuable?

The solution offers a very helpful tech support application. If you need help, the tech support can use the application to help you right on your desktop.

They have these options of TeamViewer such as Augmented Reality so that you can draw on it and you can ease somebody into a process, or assist somebody in doing some actions. They can also integrate that into the Pilot TeamViewer. Right now, they use it as a separate thing. They originally introduced it under Microsoft Hello and it should be integrated into the TeamViewer Pilot version soon.

The product is quite stable. The performance is good. 

We've found that the scalability is excellent.

What needs improvement?

They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer. Nowadays, you have to wait for another release, or another product version while Augmented Reality features should just be integrated into the standard version of TeamViewer.

The product could be less expensive. There are many similar products that are free these days.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for well over ten years. It's been more than a decade. I have a lot of experience with it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution has very good stability. The performance and reliability are very high. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of the solution is very good. A company shouldn't have any issues with scaling.

Just the administrators, like myself, have access to the solution. Everybody else gets support through the product via us.

We do plan to continue to use the service.

How are customer service and technical support?

We've never actually reached out the technical support. I can't speak to their level of helpfulness or responsiveness when it comes to troubleshooting issues. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have previously used TightVNC and UltraVNC. UltraVNC was one of my favorites. Most of the free open-source products are quite good.

How was the initial setup?

The installation process is pretty plain and simple. It's not complex at all. A company shouldn't have any issues with the implementation.

It's simple software to install. There is no cloud or anything. The ID is maintained by the cloud, however. When we install the product, it also creates a unique ID. That unique ID is maintained in the cloud maybe, however, we don't do anything with that as they maintain it. The ID is unique to your system.

There is tech support application as well which is just small and easy. You just need to download it and it works for the one time whenever you want it.

There isn't a need for dedicated maintenance. It's pretty simple to use.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

There is a subscription option for licensing the product.

The price could always be a bit less.

What other advice do I have?

We are using the latest version of the solution at this time.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate the solution at an eight. We've been very happy with the solution over a number of years. It's always been helpful.

I would recommend the solution, however, I'd be happier with the product overall if they could lower their prices.

Has the ability to view the client screen remotely and have full control of controls

What is our primary use case?

We use this product primarily for remote technical support and software upgrades. We have quite a number of computers in the field which would be costly to facilitate transportation to a service location.

How has it helped my organization?

It's faster to connect remotely than to facilitate transportation of equipment for service. Besides, it saves the organization tons of money.

What is most valuable?

  • Viewing the client screen remotely and having full control of controls.
  • Instant messaging is also good. 
  • Mobile device support is also great.

What needs improvement?

Wish it would support multiple support persons at the same time to assist a client for situations that need team collaboration.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The pro version never hangs up as long as it is up to date. That said, it's a stable product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's one of the best in my opinion, especially the pro which even multinational companies could use.

How are customer service and technical support?

Got support documentation and never needed to call customer service.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes, indeed Skype, but that was an improvisation, the alternative solution was not suited for the purpose.

How was the initial setup?

Quite easy to set up and straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented this solution internally.

What was our ROI?

It's worth every penny; I would recommend it any time.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

TeamViewer is affordable and also features a limited free version to test it out.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I have always known TeamViewer, but we tried some Microsoft solutions.

What other advice do I have?

In terms of performance, TeamViewer doesn't take much of your computer/device resources to run.
