It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

Remote access has cut critical issue resolution time and supports faster production troubleshooting
Perhaps on the UI side of TeamViewer because we are connecting to different remote desktop connections or remote server connections. Whenever we are working on one of the production issues and we open multiple connections, it is very hectic or confusing to jump from one server to another server. Perhaps on the UI side, if they can improve something related to the view sessions or which session is connected to which remote server, that would be helpful. Perhaps something related to the authentication because it should have a proper authentication mechanism. Every developer should not access TeamViewer or the remote desktop by using TeamViewer. We always have a proper authentication or multifactor authentication mechanism in place, so only those on on-call support or P1 support at that time can access the remote server, but not anyone else. I chose nine out of 10 because sometimes we face the session timeout issue. Suppose during the production support, we connect to one of the remote servers, and if it is idle for approximately 10 or 15 minutes, the session timeout happens. We have to follow the same authentication mechanism to connect to the remote server again. During the session timeout, it delays our process or the troubleshooting steps, which is the reason I have given nine out of 10 instead of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It can provide good communication with external partners."
"I have no issues with the performance and no issues with the way it works."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"It's easy to set up."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"GoToMeeting took a very short time to install and it worked without a hitch."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"In my opinion, it's the best remote access product on the market."
"The solution is very stable, and we've never had a problem with it."
"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"There is a relevant return on investment, especially when my previous organizations assisted with remote access features, as rather than needing to go on-site, we could connect remotely, making it easier for those who are not tech-savvy, thanks to TeamViewer Business's user-friendly features, which helped immensely, especially when assisting elderly clients, and ensured we met metrics effectively, creating a significant positive impact."
"Unattended access with single login."
"There have been a couple of times with the handy remote access feature, where I have been asked for something at eight o'clock on a Thursday evening and it is on my desk machine, but I am driving back to my office. With TeamViewer, I can just stay at my home machine, connect to my work machine, and get the data needed without having to drive back across town."
"With an image, you can see immediately what's going on. You can run some tests. Without the solution, you need to do everything by telephone. It's not even thinkable."
 

Cons

"Manageability needs to be improved."
"It is not so stable."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"I think TeamViewer has many better options, and I suggest TeamViewer should also offer voice communication with my clients because writing is acceptable, but voice communication is much better."
"Only the paid version allows for file transfer. Also, it is annoying that I have to upgrade every time they release a new version because I can't use an older version to access a new one even if my version is paid and their version is a trial."
"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."
"You can improve the file size of TeamViewer as it is too large."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
"The one area which needs improvement for both the standalone and enterprise versions would be inter-operability between versions."
"The only thing I wish for is a better price for small users."
"They really need an AMT client and/or iLO client for business use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"We have a corporate license. The maximum amount number of users changes based on the amount you pay. E.g., with our license, there is a maximum amount of users who can use the solution at the same time (10 users)."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
