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

"Customer Service: Excellent. Have been able to help me determine when to use the operator assisted service and even demo-ed this experience for me in order to make more informed decision."
"I utilize ReadyTalk to train roughly 300 people monthly, my colleagues use it to host staff meetings, to supplement coursework from our online university, and to deliver organizational content to our constituent base."
"ReadyTalk is a very user friendly tool."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Our webinar program was floundering, but after I started working with ReadyTalk, we have been able to increase the number of webinars, these webinars have successively attracted higher quality presenters and have become a real marketing tool for our association."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"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."
"In my opinion, it's the best remote access product on the market."
"It's worth every penny; I would recommend it any time."
"Ultimately, however, even with all of its warts and problems, it's still the best, most reliable and most affordable remote control product, at least for our environment."
"TeamViewer Business is one of the best tools that we use in my organization for support, especially when our customers troubleshoot."
"In the years I have used TeamViewer, everything that I missed was already added."
"The solution has worked flawlessly; it’s stable and reliable, with no bugs or glitches."
"The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
 

Cons

"A few minor issues along the way."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"Wish it would support multiple support persons at the same time to assist a client for situations that need team collaboration."
"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."
"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."
"TeamViewer is publicly available and anyone can use it. This is the reason that many organizations do not permit the use of this solution. It is not considered to be secure enough."
"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."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"Quick User Switching has a very nasty tendency to render the screen output unstable."
"The support could improve their speed."
