Tomsk Inc.
During the pandemic, our company worked remotely. Various staff in our company had technical difficulties or needed assistance installing software in order to work. DeskRoll Remote Desktop helped us to make this process seamless. Rather than deal with the aggravation of trying to walk someone through something over the phone, we were able to get things established in a simple, easy way.

TeamViewer
Where "TeamViewer" works well :- We mostly use TeamViewer to help Emplyees quickly access their office computers remotely, specially when they're working from Home or travelling. For Example - If someone forgets an important file or need to run software that's only on their office PC , TeamViewer lets them connect easily and keep working without delay. Its also super helpful for our IT team, - Instead of physically going around fixing issues, they can just connect remotely and fix the problems faster, which saves a lot of time. Where TeamViewer isn't great :- the mobile app can be slow and a bit clunky, making it tough to do anything complicated on the go. Also, for bigger teams, Important features like detailed reports and user management are only in the pricier plan. So, if you need advanced tools, TeamViewer might be a hard choice .

Cons
Tomsk Inc.

TeamViewer
  • It does not allow a free package for commercial purposes which can be substantial cost for some businesses
  • Being a remote access tool and not properly configured, it is very susceptible to security breaches
  • Being a heavy resource consumer makes it slow down order version systems and those that are not properly updated.

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.

First of all the overall experience of TeamViewer feels and looks user friendly more than AnyDesk. The secure connection of 256-bit AES encryption and RSA 2048-bit key exchange. With TeamViewer, experienced users have numerous advanced options to help employees effectively, while with AnyDesk, you don't get. The mobile version of TeamViewer has almost the same options as the desktop version.
