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

"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"It's easy to set up."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"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."
"The implementation process is simple."
"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."
"TeamViewer allows us to do multiple controllers on a Host, which is great. We have a lot of Macs in our organization, and TeamViewer being cross-platform is a good thing."
"The product is easy to install."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization by boosting efficiency since you do not need to be physically available to the client to troubleshoot or help them."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The solution must include archive options to save the recorded meetings for future reference. The recording functionality can benefit our team by improving how meetings are recorded and shared. Previously, only admins could record meetings, sometimes leading to issues if recordings were missed or not shared properly. The recent update now allows hosting GoToMeeting sessions with the ability to delegate recording rights to other team members."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."
"The solution could improve by increasing or removing the time limitation on the use of a session."
"TeamViewer could work on performance latency in slower internet connections by optimizing screen refresh rates during remote sessions, especially when transferring large files or using graphics-heavy applications."
"A feature that they could add is chat with sound to talk."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
 

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."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"We have a permanent license and the price is reasonable."
"The cost is in the thousands of dollars per year."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
