Has good stability and an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for remote access control and endpoint protection features The solution has the best remote access control and protection features. They should provide intermediate device limit options. It would be helpful for users who require more remote control capabilities than the lower…
Begaya Morris - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Software Engineer at BD
Reliable remote access has improved secure collaboration and streamlined daily approvals
The best features TeamViewer Business offers in my opinion are collaboration, templates, a high level of security, and session recording. Collaboration allows me to collaborate remotely with my team members. Besides reconnecting automatically, it provides a high level of security, protecting from cyber attacks and aids in providing assurance in regulated environments through two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption features. It also allows recording live sessions, which can be replayed as needed for future reference. TeamViewer Business has positively impacted my organization as collaboration has enhanced, especially remote collaboration by 60 to 70 percent. I have been able to collaborate with clients and other team members seamlessly. Enhanced workflow efficiency includes faster approvals and a lowered risk of data loss, misuse, and leak through robust features like two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption. It also facilitates compliance using documentation and auditing through recordings and logs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using the product, we provide a quicker response when supporting customers.​"
"It is a scalable solution."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."
"The alerts are helpful."
"I would not want to tell other companies about it because it is so powerful, it does so much, and it makes me look so good."
"Ever since we have been using TeamViewer Business, because of how quick it is to connect to a user across the globe, we have been able to close tickets rapidly."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"We have a lot of remote offices, and without the ability to remotely control the computers at these properties, my job would be much more difficult to perform."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
"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."
"The usability and graphic interface stand out for me because it is very easy to understand, with upper bars, all the features, and the file transfer functionality."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
 

Cons

"Do not use the technical support."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"The solution is expensive as hell."
"It needs backwards compatibility for non-Microsoft-supported operating systems, for example, XP and 2003. In situations where I have no options but to run older operating systems, I would like for it to be backwards compatible."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"Sometimes we'll have a device in the field, and I'll click on remote control and it says "Can't authenticate." I'll double click in a different part of the TeamViewer interface and it'll say "Can't authenticate." Then I'll do it a third time and it connects. It's possible that it's just bad luck. It's also very possible that it's some bug within TeamViewer..."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"I think the pricing could have been improved, as smaller organizations like us usually need a low-cost tool."
"We have a consultant that helps us do the virtual aspects of TeamViewer."
"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"When clients have a newer version installed and we only have a license for version 8, there are issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"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."
"The price needs improvement. It is ridiculously expensive now, and no features have really changed."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"The price is a little high but it's competitive. The licensing process is fairly easy."
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"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."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"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)."
"We are not using the solution for commercial use therefore it is free to use."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."
