Scalable, good search features, and good options for multiple displays
I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with. The search features are really nice. When you type in a keyword, every single thing, whether it's a group or a machine, with that phrase will come up. There are a lot of features that we just don't utilize and maybe we could, but we're pretty straightforward about it. It is nice to use the file transfer feature from time to time, and it is really nice to be able to just copy from your desktop and paste onto the LogMeIn session.

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

"The biggest thing is remote access, to be able to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The alerts are helpful."
"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"When the pandemic hit, it worked out well because we already had the clients installed on it and we were able to remote in to do the work the same as if they were sitting there."
"Unattended remote assistance."
"I function through LogMeIn, because it gives me everything I need."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."
"It has been useful and it has increased our productivity by some 400 percent."
"It’s so great for when you need to provide remote support, allowing us to troubleshoot in real-time, with good configuration and structure, easy installation, strong stability, good scalability, and it isn’t expensive at all."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time, and I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"I do not like the antivirus."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"TeamViewer Business's scalability is bad because it's very expensive."
"Customer support for TeamViewer is quite slow. They do reply, but the reply timing is more than forty-eight hours, which is not acceptable for any service industry."
"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."
"On occasion, when remote connection process can't connect to a machine, the error messages aren't always helpful to tell you why you can't connect, as the message doesn't help troubleshoot whether it is too slow, too much interference, etc. I usually have to run to another computer and figure out what is going on, then restart it. The diagnostics could be improved."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"TeamViewer is expensive, and you get a limited number of connections for your money."
"Even now, we have customers who will not allow us to connect to them because of security sensitivity, e.g., military departments for clients."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"TeamViewer has multiple licensing options."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
