884,797 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not attempted to scale the solution. My understanding is that it is scalable since you can take the source code and modify it or add other functionalities.
How are customer service and support?
I've never used technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are.
How was the initial setup?
The setup is pretty straightforward.
The user needs to have the solution through their computer. Once they have the firmware, they have to enter a code that is sent to the desktop so that they can connect. This needs to be put in before accessing distant equipment.
It's not difficult to deploy the product. You can download it easily from the internet.
What about the implementation team?
You can handle the setup in-house. It's downloadable from the internet.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is open-source.
There are different options available, and the information is online.
What other advice do I have?
If you want to do remote troubleshooting, it's a good idea to utilize TeamViewer. It's been around since 2005 - that's 17 years. It's a reliable, mature option.
I'd rate it nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Network System Engineer at VSIS
User-friendly, simple to set up and great for remote troubleshooting
Pros and Cons
- "The stability seems to be pretty good so far."
- "I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for remote monitoring and helping clients.
If you need to get direct access to a customer's machine, we can make a direct connection using this solution. We can connect developers and engineers at the site for easy remote troubleshooting. We have customer support as well and can connect to clients directly using this or AnyDesk.
What is most valuable?
I like that we can get a remote desktop view and even we can get even full control over remote machines for communication and troubleshooting. We can make calls or chat over the applications. These aspects are all quite helpful.
The stability seems to be pretty good so far.
It's very user-friendly. It's not complex to navigate.
The initial setup is simple.
What needs improvement?
I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it. I've heard that it does not meet the compliance for use in the financial industry within our region. Here, central banks advise all the financial services and banks to use the remote monitoring tool which meets their compliance parameters, and this product does not do that. It's not allowed to use in banking environments.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've used the solution for four or five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is good. Aside from some compliance issues in certain sectors, we've never had issues. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution doesn't really offer scalability, however, it isn't really designed to be. We mostly use it to get connect peer-to-peer or one-to-one. I haven't come across any use cases for scalability or any expansions.
We have 30 to 35 users on the solution currently, that use it in our business. We likely will not increase usage, as we only have 40 or so engineers, and everyone who needs access has it.
How are customer service and support?
The solution really is very straightforward. Therefore, there hasn't really been a need to reach out to technical support. Having never dealt with them, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We didn't really use anything prior to this solution, however, we have used TeamMeet and AnyDesk and I also have used Microsoft Remote Desktop Services.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very simple, very straightforward. It took like three minutes to deploy. You just download and just go next, next, next.
What about the implementation team?
We didn't need any assistance. We might help our clients set it up to gain access, however, it's not a difficult process.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There may be a license you need to pay, however, if someone is asking to connect to your machine, as a person getting service, you do not need to purchase a license in order to have TeamViewer on your machine for remote assistance.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend the solution.
I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

IT Manager at a non-profit with 11-50 employees
Easy to set up and quick to deploy but the licensing needs to be more flexible
Pros and Cons
- "It's considered a trusted application."
- "The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for remote user support. We have users across the country, in every city. We give them support through this tool. If they need help, we connect and help them. That's the service that we bring to our customers.
What is most valuable?
This solution is preferred by some of our customers. Although we do have AnyDesk, there are some clients that specifically only permit TeamViewer for being contacted remotely. They trust in this tool. It's considered a trusted application.
The setup is very easy.
What needs improvement?
The licensing model is restrictive. Even when you have already a license, you connect from other devices and it is kind of complicated to use the tool. They could be flexible a little more with the licensing model. Even if you have a license, it's hard to use it.
The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using the solution for three years at this point.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is very stable. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is quite scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.
How are customer service and support?
We did call technical support once and they were very helpful and responsive.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We no longer use TeamViewer intensively as we have AnyDesk from Google now and it's free.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is pretty simple and straightforward. It's not a complex process at all.
Deployment is fast. It only takes 20 minutes or so.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of the solution is a bit high.
What other advice do I have?
We're just customers and end-users.
We are a small company. We're just 20 people, therefore, our solutions are very so-ho - the kind of small office, home office kinds of equipment.
I'd recommend the solution. In general, it's a good tool for remoting support.
I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher if the pricing and licensing were a bit better.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Systems Intern at a insurance company with 501-1,000 employees
Good stability, easy to install, and useful for connecting to remote clients who are not on the VPN and doing direct file transfers
Pros and Cons
- "We are able to connect to clients who are currently not connected to the VPN, and we are also able to do direct file transfers between the technician and the client."
- "The price point would probably be an area of improvement with the number of competitors out there offering similar features. TeamViewer usually comes in a little high as compared to other solutions."
What is our primary use case?
We use it to connect with remote clients who are not on the VPN. We are using TeamViewer 10, which is fairly old.
What is most valuable?
We are able to connect to clients who are currently not connected to the VPN, and we are also able to do direct file transfers between the technician and the client.
What needs improvement?
The price point would probably be an area of improvement with the number of competitors out there offering similar features. TeamViewer usually comes in a little high as compared to other solutions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Its stability is pretty good. The TeamViewer 10 servers are starting to be pulled offline because they are being deprecated. We'll definitely be moving on from it. Our security team has asked us to pivot away from it. Other than that, we haven't had any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
With this solution, you'll only have a specified number of seats that you can use at any given time. We usually have about two technicians who use it on and off every day. We tend to run out of seats when there are a lot of issues, and technicians are using it frequently with other clients.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
For getting connected to remote people who are off the network, this is the only solution that we've used. On the network, we use Microsoft Configuration Manager to have remote sessions on people's computers.
The main difference between TeamViewer and other solutions, such as LogMeIn, is the pricing. They also differ in terms of particular programs for which they are certified, such as HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.
How was the initial setup?
Its installation is fairly straightforward. If the quick support application is already installed, clients just have to open that up, enter in a few numbers, and they're good to go. In terms of installing it onto a client device, we can direct them to a URL to get that installed, and it is not super difficult.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Its price is a little high as compared to other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
My personal opinion of it is pretty high. I would rate TeamViewer Remote Management a nine out of ten.

Chief Alchemist/ VP at DFC BBQ
Efficiently accesses other end-points
Pros and Cons
- "I've left Splashtop running for seven or eight hours connected to a system. I've left TeamViewer running for seven or eight hours to a connection or two. I have a hard time working out on four computers at a time, but three is not impossible for me. So even if I've had three computers connected it has been fairly stable."
- "If you have one version, like if you have version 14, and the client has version 15, you can't access his computer. If the client is on 14 and the technician is on 15, he can't access the end user who's at home. So there's a disparity in versioning."
How has it helped my organization?
In the last 12 months we actually made a decision to go away from TeamViewer. Part of it has to do with the fact that TeamViewer is very expensive.
What we find as a small business owner is that TeamViewer seems to be one of the more expensive products there are for remote management.
What is most valuable?
The problem is the valuable features don't come with the free version, they come with the paid version. The valuable features are being able to boot a remote computer into safe mode, being able to reboot the computer and to reconnect again, file transfers is not the most important thing in the world, although some people think it is, but it's not.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using TeamViewer Remote Management on and off for four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Almost every product is very, very stable now. I've left Splashtop running for seven or eight hours connected to a system. I've left TeamViewer running for seven or eight hours to a connection or two. I have a hard time working out on four computers at a time, but three is not impossible for me. So even if I've had three computers connected it has been fairly stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I don't think that's really a relevant question. Scalability. It's not a database, you're not running a database. You're running remote access. You're either RDPing or you're actually going into another computer, so how many computers can you go into? Some of the products are scalable, in that you can have an enterprise version where you can have 10 technicians accessing 100 computers.
LogMeIn or Citrix, or any of the other ones, or even Splashtop, has the same thing. I don't run the enterprise version on the one we have, but we have access to many computers. I have more than one technician, so we have more than one technician license, and we have more than 100 computers that are permanently accessed. And they allow you to access ad hoc, as many as you want. We only do that if a client has a problem. I say, "Okay, go to our website, go to this page, click on it and run that program" and that downloads the streamer for the client end, and they give me the numbers and then we can attach.
How are customer service and technical support?
I've never had to use tech support for any product.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We've used TeamViewer and a whole bunch of other products. I've been in this business for a long time. We've seen some come and go in the remote access field. We used to use OS/2 for doing this, as a matter of fact. So that goes back a long way, we're talking about the nineties, so over 20 years.
We had been using two products. We used TeamViewer and we used Splashtop.
We use Splashtop now. I'm into four workstations right now. When I was talking with you earlier, I was in nine different stations, nine different systems on one network. But we have used a bunch of different products. When Windows 10 came out, we found that the product that we were using then wasn't as good and TeamViewer had become better. It was a pretty good product, but it always tended to be a Cadillac in pricing. And the pricing model they have now seems to be expensive to use from last time I checked. Small users don't want to pay the kind of money, or can't afford the kind of money, that they were charging.
As a matter of fact, one of my clients is a single user. He wants to access a single computer. He doesn't need 15 technicians or one technician or to be able to access a whole bunch. He wants a one-to-one solution. TeamViewer doesn't really offer that. They offer the free one, but every time they make a change on the free one, you have to update both ends.
Sometimes you don't have the opportunity of being on site to be able to update it. Now they have changed that so that you can update it remotely, but you have to be able to connect first to do that. And then you're in the stage of where you're always trying to remember what version is at what client. Or if it's a one-to-one what version is there.
When the pandemic hit last year, they took the time limit off. So they gave relief to a lot of people to be able to use it. But at some point they changed it again and they put the time limit back on and they charged for it. And then if you have one version, like if you have version 14, and the client has version 15, you can't access his computer. If the client is on 14 and the technician is on 15, he can't access the end user who's at home.
So there's a disparity in versioning.
What other advice do I have?
In terms of advice, it really depends what you're using it for. TeamViewer can be from about $20 a month to $200 or $500 a month depending on how many managed devices and how many unmanaged devices there are. TeamViewer has gone to a monthly subscription rate, so you have to get it monthly. Although I think Splashtops is the same way. There are some products out there that you can buy a license for and have permanent software. The problem with that is that you don't get updates. What I see when comparing one versus the other, is that TeamViewer for small users is more expensive than some of the other ones. It maybe has some better performance or better features, but it probably depends if you're on a good internet. I'm on a rural internet so I don't have the benefits of having one gigabit download and upload and speeds. Most of my clients have a minimum of 60 megabits per second synchronous connections or fiber connections.
Because most of my clients, 99.5% of my clients, are in major centers like Toronto, Montreal, Washington, New York, Ottawa, Dallas, they don't appear to have issues. The biggest issue is me. Every time there's an upgrade to the pipe, we jump on it. I'm not in an industry that can survive at five Meg or 10 Meg a second any longer, although I feel like I get that still with what I have.
It depends on the size. You have to decide how many end points you need to manage? How many technicians do you have to manage those end points? Are you managing from within a ticketing package? Do you need your ticketing package to integrate with your remote management packaging?
On a scale of one to ten, I would give TeamViewer Remote Management an eight.
