Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

Remote support has transformed my work and now saves time with fast, secure file transfers
What I appreciate about TeamViewer Business is the reliable and secure connection experienced during file transfers or troubleshooting processes, even when we have to restart the PC; we are still able to connect to the customer quickly. TeamViewer Business offers a free version for both personal and business use. The free version actually covers all the features needed for secure remote connection, which is one of the positive aspects I have experienced. The secure connections and great file transfer feature are super fast and secure, with reliable features during the process of reconnecting and connecting back to clients. Back in 2009 and 2007, the internet did not have the faster features it has today. TeamViewer Business's file transfer feature has made things easier. Instead of downloading a file from a source like HP.com, we just have to transfer the file from our system to the customer securely and quickly. Many technical support people have benefited from that feature, which I find very reliable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"It's easy to set up."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"TeamViewer is a scalable solution."
"We also use it a lot for remote site assistance. We've set up our internal authentication for unattended access to our remote sites. That makes it very easy and convenient to remotely connect with our users and our client machines whenever we need to. It's set as a direct, secure connection. As long as the station has internet access, we can see it and it makes remote support very simple."
"Using TeamViewer for my personal clients has made things much better for me and my clients because my clients are happy to resolve a problem within seconds via TeamViewer."
"One of the best features of TeamViewer Business is the security and respect for privacy, since you can connect to a specific computer using a unique confidential code, ensuring that security and safety are maintained with no problems."
"The product is easy to install."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
"It is a scalable product."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
 

Cons

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"The security could improve in TeamViewer."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"It's pretty limited on the options they have."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"If you had to teach someone how TeamViewer Business works, especially because I am speaking in a sense that I am using it on an engineer level, it would be a bit difficult to get accustomed to some of the settings, especially with the new experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"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 pricing is reasonable... The simultaneous controller licensing model of TeamViewer - compared to LogMeIn’s controlled Host licensing model - seems to benefit us so far. We’re currently saving about 30 percent on licensing cost... The savings from licensing have been eaten up by the soft costs involved in dealing with and working around TeamViewer’s deficiencies in allowing granular control by multiple controllers, and the issues with the various settings that are missing on the macOS Host."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"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)."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
