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

"I like being able to dial in and transfer files for updates."
"It's easy to install, and it's robust and secure."
"The biggest improvement is being able to solve problems or do upgrades of software without having to go onsite."
"All in all, the ROI was great as it saved me a lot of time - And time is money!"
"If you have a small footprint in the IT department, it's a very efficient tool to give a very well-rounded perspective of remote access and security control on devices, and in an environment where it's geographically disbursed."
"Remote access is really the biggest one, because in order to be able to support my clients from wherever I am, that is the biggest feature."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product is really straightforward and completely easy to implement."
"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions."
"TeamViewer has a lot of options for deploying the Hosts, where you can mass deploy them very easily, and you can pre-configure them."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"We are using TeamViewer to support our users and it is used for technical support."
"The solution is very stable, and we've never had a problem with it."
"The performance and stability are good, there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"Ease of use was the number-one thing. It's an industry leader for ease of use, specifically on the client-side, which is the absolutely critical thing. If I want to connect to somebody, how easily can I — without seeing their computer — walk them through the steps to install it to a point where I can key in the code and help them resolve their situation?... TeamViewer is just a dead-solid, easy answer."
 

Cons

"The update issues are an absolute pain. It says it is updating things, but the updates do not go through, and you try your hardest to get the updates to go through and they don't. You go to the PC, but there is no update there, then you go back and it says there are updates."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details."
"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."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"The product's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
"The product could be less expensive."
"ITBrain should be embedded in the product and not an expensive add-on."
"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."
"The support could improve their speed."
"I'd like to be able to have two simultaneous sessions open on two different screens; this would increase productivity."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"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."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is a little on the expensive side, compared to what TeamViewer has offered."
"The solution has a pilot feature that is expensive. The overall price of the solution can be cheaper."
"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."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"I rate pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is low and ten is high. There are no additional costs attached to the licensing of the solution."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
