Stable, easy to deploy, and very useful for remote inspections
Pros and Cons
  • "The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones."
  • "I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."

What is our primary use case?

I mostly use it for remote access to my three computers. I also use it for a pilot when I'm speaking to my inspectors out in the field.

It is a subscription, so we have the latest version.

What is most valuable?

The pilot feature is what stands out the most. I love the ability to use the pilot feature for remote inspections. The augmented portion of the software comes in handy when I have to assist my inspectors. They use the app in the field, and they show me what they're seeing through their phones.

What needs improvement?

Its pricing can be improved. It would be nice if it is cheaper.

I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers.

There is a limitation on the number of participants you can have in a meeting. That's the only reason I use Zoom in addition to this.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for a year. I use it every day.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There is a limit on the number of people who can attend a meeting. Currently, I use Zoom for our pre-construction meetings because I can have up to 25 people. I would like to use TeamViewer, but I can't have everybody participate at the same time. Zoom allows me to have more people.

How are customer service and support?

I used them once when I was trying to get my prescription renewed. Before TeamViewer, they had Blizz. When they phased Blizz out to something else, there was an issue in transferring or going from one subscription to another, but we got through it.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before TeamViewer, they had Blizz. I was using Blizz.

How was the initial setup?

It was pretty easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It would be nice if it is cheaper.

What other advice do I have?

My advice would be to have a deep pocket. Other than that, it is a great product.

I would rate TeamViewer a 10 out of 10.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Great for remote access and communication with good reliability
Pros and Cons
  • "It is quite simple to set up."
  • "Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

TeamViewer allows the capture of the screens of the colleagues on the network.

For example, when the user works with his screen for a process and encounters a problem, he informs us or reaches out on WhatsApp. We get control of his screen and try to understand the problem and then try to solve the problem.

What is most valuable?

Without going to the actual user or colleague, I can access his screen. This is the value of the solution for me.

It is quite simple to set up.

It is stable. 

What needs improvement?

Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved. The screen should be something like Zoom when I want to talk with my counterpart. I want to communicate with my counterpart while also seeing the screen.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. It is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have 13 licenses. For the time being, the solution is fine and we do not plan to increase usage.  

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support from TeamViewer. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Sometimes we use AnyDesk. However, it gets disconnected suddenly. TeamViewer is very good. It doesn't happen. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is easy to set up and quick to deploy. You can have it up and running in one day. 

We have three to five people in the IT department that can handle deployment and maintenance tasks. They are IT technicians.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't handle the licensing. I can't speak to the costs. However, my understanding is that it is reasonably priced. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

I'd rate the product nine out of ten. 

I would recommend the solution to others.

Highly stable, easy to access, and plenty of documentation
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
  • "The file transfer functionality crashes sometimes."

What is our primary use case?

I use TeamViewer for technical support remotely. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates.

What needs improvement?

In a future release of TeamViewer, they should improve password access. Every time one of my clients access the free version of TeamViewer, the password changes and they cannot update the password. Even if the solution is provided for free, it should allow them to update or set the fixed password because it is very difficult to type the complicated password. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

TeamViewer is highly stable.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted the support, I have not had any issue needing the support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I use VMware Workspace ONE in parallel with TeamViewer.

How was the initial setup?

The implementation of TeamViewer is simple. In terms of the configuration for the server, the IT team does it. I only need to install the client, which is very simple, but I don't know much about the backend configuration.

What about the implementation team?

Usually out client does the configuration of TeamViewer on the backend.

For 100 TeamViewer users, we would need a team of 10 to manage the maintenance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

After trying free version, you can buy proper license. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated VMware Workspace ONE before choosing TeamViewer. However, our company uses both for different purposes. We use VMware Workspace ONE for accessing company assets and we use TeamViewer to support some clients in some projects.

What other advice do I have?

I rate TeamViewer a nine out of ten.

Simple to implement, great for remote IT services, and can expand easily
Pros and Cons
  • "The implementation process is simple."
  • "It's pretty limited on the options they have."

What is our primary use case?

Basically, the solution is being used in order for the IT department to assist me in any problem I have with my computer. It’s for them to have remote access.

What is most valuable?

It doesn't take any effort for me to fix something that I can’t. I can just call IT and they can just connect and take over the control of my computer and fix it for me, and that’s it.

The implementation process is simple.

What needs improvement?

It's pretty limited on the options they have. I'm pretty sure they can expand the program a bit and have some more options.

If they, for example, access your computer, I’d like them to be able to diagnose and find any other issues on the computer when they are on there for something else.

The connection and reconnection sometimes lag and can cause problems. They need to look into that. If they can work on the pause button to make it easier to start and stop without lagging, it would be ideal.

For how long have I used the solution?

I’ve been using the solution for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

When we actually pause the connection for a little bit, then we have some problems reconnecting or taking control again. The stability is a bit of an issue.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability has been okay. We haven’t seen any issues there.

We have 200 people using the solution right now.

How are customer service and support?

I’ve never dealt with technical support in the past. I can’t speak to how they would be if someone needs help.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very straightforward. It’s not overly complex or difficult.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution may be free to use. However, I’m not 100% sure on this.

What other advice do I have?

I am a customer and end-user.

I’m not 100% sure which version of the solution we’re on.

The solution is mostly on-premises. However, we do use it on the cloud as well.

I’d advise users to go for it and try it out. It saves time for IT, allowing them to remote in from wherever they are. They don’t have to come to you. It makes troubleshooting simple.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Simple remote access, logins easy to manage, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
  • "TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data."

What is our primary use case?

TeamViewer allows administrators to access computers remotely. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access.

What needs improvement?

TeamViewer could improve by having a cloud version. Having the solution on the system could cause some cyber security concerns with data.

In a feature update, if there was a bios install option it would be helpful. This feature would allow TeamViewer to connect in the background to the internet and then we can switch on the computer, which would be very helpful.

I have been using TeamViewer for approximately 20 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I preferred it to TeamViewer because you don't need to download anything separately, it comes with Microsoft Windows, you can access it quickly, and it's encrypted so you can easily access those without having security concerns.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of TeamViewer is straightforward and basic.

What other advice do I have?

TeamViewer has the base option for remote access in the market.

I rate TeamViewer an eight out of ten.
