User Testimonials
Avast Business Remote ControlTeamViewer
Likelihood to Recommend
Gen (NortonLifeLock, Avast, Avira, AVG)
The program is well suited for businesses or individuals who require remote access to other computers or devices. This is especially true of IT support or program administrators who may have to troubleshoot or tutor users. Screen sharing is beneficial and seeing actions helpful for regular program use and problem solving

TeamViewer
If someone were to ask me for a recommendation, I would honestly say that it was the best option for me. Many times, my team members, other therapy department consultants, or doctors have encountered a problem with their systems that they are unable to resolve on their own. They just reached out to me and explained their concerns. Once their system is connected to me, I can resolve their situation in a very short amount of time.

  • The update Cycle of the Desktop app is sometimes unstable. We downloaded the latest TeamViewer Desktop App from the official site, and it immediately asks us to update.
  • Pricing tier for small teams can be improved.
  • Live subtitles for audio from remote device can be implemented.

TeamViewer is a reliable and really strong tool for accessing remote IT platforms secure and fast.

the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.

As expected without any problem! Alternate in-person training is another efficient way to learn how a product works. There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.

I have never used the online training either. I have watched a few informational videos that were helpful when learning how to do a specific procedure within TeamViewer and get the most out of the software by utilizing one of the many features that are available with the software. Again, 5 if for neutral.

We used TeamViewer within our scope of a unified endpoint management. Access rights are managed by location and user, both in regard to the state legislation and the company’s regulations. Our IT dashboard has now integrated the remote support KPIs which i derived from TeamViewer usage data.

AnyDesk, despite being relatively light on system utilization, didn’t offer some of the pro collaboration features that we required. All the functionalities that were part of TeamViewer matched well with the functionality, ease, and cost aspects needed to support our team's work.

  • We’ve not paid for it but used it so it’s been beneficial
  • We would benefit with the remote access control monitored for many situations where problem solving would come into play

Almost immediately. We could not support our clients effectively without TeamViewer. Its reliable, fast and allows us to do our work in a moments notice.
  • The core of our business is providing remote IT support to unmanned stations. Without a program like TeamViewer, we would be unable to operate.
  • On numerous occasions, we have avoided having to travel to site on top as well as raise a callout with local agents, saving us many thousands.
  • We can work from home or support our service technicians on the field any place, any time.
