TeamViewer is very easy to use, and I use it in a professional manner to assist colleagues at the university remotely. It's a good product for helping others, especially with user problems, installation issues, or other tasks.
It's not my primary role, but sometimes, when someone has user issues with their computer, I assist them remotely. Even though I don't work at the service desk, I help with security and other problems using the tool.
I find the mouse control and the ability to click for them very effective. I can move the mouse and click on buttons as if sitting at their computer. These are the basic features I use most often in the solution. There are tricker features that I don't use much because I don't need them frequently. Overall, it's a great tool for helping others with their computer issues without traveling to their location or another building.
It saves time because I can guide someone by saying, "Go to the third option in the menu on the right," and then click on it. I can see their screen and guide them through the steps, watching the mouse move and seeing everything that happens on their computer.
We access the solution through a VPN, which improves our security. However, earlier this year, around the beginning of March, a CVE in the TeamViewer client allowed remote connections to other network systems, which was concerning. You could have unintentionally gained admin rights if you didn't update TeamViewer promptly. It's crucial to always keep it updated to prevent such issues. The tool should consider implementing two-factor authentication to improve such security holes. It should also integrate good security updates, which should be implemented automatically.
I'm curious if TeamViewer can track the time I spend using it. I wonder if it records how long sessions last.
