Unemployed
Feature-rich, stable, and good support, but not a collaborative tool and requires a client to be installed for remote support
Pros and Cons
- "It is fairly feature-rich and stable."
- "I didn't like the fact that you had to install a client for remote support. If you didn't install the client, you were very limited in terms of what you could do. For a whole enterprise, it is just not an easy task to install a client on everything. Even if you're using SCCM, it is an undertaking. For transient clients that you don't necessarily support a hundred percent of the time, it would be nice to be able to connect to them and support their issues without having to install something on their machines. In my previous company, we were looking at this solution as being a collaborative tool for the enterprise in terms of video conferencing, calling, and scheduling. They were working on bringing a bunch of products together to make their suite a little more integrated, but it really wasn't at the point where we wanted it to be in terms of integration. We looked at it, reviewed it, and tested it out a bit. We then decided to go with Microsoft Teams. It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls."
What is our primary use case?
It is generally used for remote control for remote support.
What is most valuable?
It is fairly feature-rich and stable.
What needs improvement?

It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used it on and off for a number of years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It has always been really stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I believe it is scalable, but the caveat is installing the client.
In one of the organizations, we used it for a health system, and we were supporting 16 hospitals. More recently, I used it in a small engineering architecture firm, and we supported a couple of hundred people through six different offices.
How are customer service and technical support?
Their tech support is really good. They were always very helpful. I would give them a ten out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
If you're going to go with TeamViewer, I would recommend going all-in on their suite of tools instead of trying to do a hybrid model because you always get into trouble with hybrid models for collaboration tools. I believe that integration is the key. The fewer tools you have out there, the less you have to support. Your infrastructure is also less complicated.
I would rate TeamViewer a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

IT Support Executive at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
Very helpful for tech support with good stability and scalability
Pros and Cons
- "The product is quite stable. The performance is good."
- "They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
What is our primary use case?
TeamViewer is for desktop support. It's for giving remote support to users. If I was a member of tech support, for example, I could access your desktop remotely to see your screen, keyboard and mouse. I'd be able to access it from anywhere in the world and I can control it just as if I was sitting in front of your system.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution allows for remote tech support that has the capability for us to see a user's screens. We can do this from anywhere in the world. We don't need to be in the room with a user to help them.
What is most valuable?
The solution offers a very helpful tech support application. If you need help, the tech support can use the application to help you right on your desktop.
They have these options of TeamViewer such as Augmented Reality so that you can draw on it and you can ease somebody into a process, or assist somebody in doing some actions. They can also integrate that into the Pilot TeamViewer. Right now, they use it as a separate thing. They originally introduced it under Microsoft Hello and it should be integrated into the TeamViewer Pilot version soon.
The product is quite stable. The performance is good.
We've found that the scalability is excellent.
What needs improvement?
They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer. Nowadays, you have to wait for another release, or another product version while Augmented Reality features should just be integrated into the standard version of TeamViewer.
The product could be less expensive. There are many similar products that are free these days.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for well over ten years. It's been more than a decade. I have a lot of experience with it.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution has very good stability. The performance and reliability are very high. There aren't bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of the solution is very good. A company shouldn't have any issues with scaling.
Just the administrators, like myself, have access to the solution. Everybody else gets support through the product via us.
We do plan to continue to use the service.
How are customer service and technical support?
We've never actually reached out the technical support. I can't speak to their level of helpfulness or responsiveness when it comes to troubleshooting issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have previously used TightVNC and UltraVNC. UltraVNC was one of my favorites. Most of the free open-source products are quite good.
How was the initial setup?
The installation process is pretty plain and simple. It's not complex at all. A company shouldn't have any issues with the implementation.
It's simple software to install. There is no cloud or anything. The ID is maintained by the cloud, however. When we install the product, it also creates a unique ID. That unique ID is maintained in the cloud maybe, however, we don't do anything with that as they maintain it. The ID is unique to your system.
There is tech support application as well which is just small and easy. You just need to download it and it works for the one time whenever you want it.
There isn't a need for dedicated maintenance. It's pretty simple to use.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is a subscription option for licensing the product.
The price could always be a bit less.
What other advice do I have?
We are using the latest version of the solution at this time.
Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate the solution at an eight. We've been very happy with the solution over a number of years. It's always been helpful.
I would recommend the solution, however, I'd be happier with the product overall if they could lower their prices.
