LogMeIn Pro vs. TeamViewer

LogMeIn Pro is very well suited for small-to-medium sized organisations. The pricing is affordable and the implementation is easier. There are some concerns related to data privacy and security, hence I would not advise this to be used when your session handles PHI and PII kind of data, just to be compliant.

1. Training or Workshop Orientation on our eLearning System Software. It is a convenient tool to remotely access and where both parties are at the same page and it is the best tool to have for such purpose. Save time and money 2. On the technical support for all our Clients:- a) Setting up devices connected to System, b) Helping to Solve System Bugs - easy access as I help clear any bugs on our System c) Chats and Call on TeamViewer saves time and money. I have enjoyed using this tool and still do. I would not trade it for anything now.

• Ease of connection. You can use their web login and connection through there. You can also install the client app and connect via it. Easy and fast.
• Remote Control is fantastic. It scales the screens great. There is no lag in the screen refreshes.
• Remote printing is good. You can be working on your PC at the office via LogMeIn and print to your local PC at your current location with ease.

Incentivized

• Un-attended Remote Access control
• Quick support to remote in to an end-users device by running the app without installing any software or requiring administrator rights
• Push Windows and Third-Party updates (depends on the version that you buy)
• Works on Windows, Apple, Mobile, and Tablets (depends on the version that you buy)

• Slow customer service - we know more about their product than whoever we talk to whenever we call in
• It does not always keep the settings during session unless we disconnect and reconnect with the new settings.
• Troubleshooting using LogMeIn is minimal. It either works or doesn't, there is not a backup/alternative method for connectivity.

• TeamViewer is very difficult to set up initially when trying to set up a permanent remote connection. It requires several steps that have to be done just right, or else it won't work, and doesn't give any indication of why it won't work.
• TeamViewer is slow to make the initial connection.
• Compared to other remote support products we use, TeamViewer lacks several features, such as the ability to see detailed information about a given computer without logging into the computer.

TeamViewer is everything we're looking for in a support tool, the cost for the tool is negligible with the value we receive from the tool. TeamViewer has saved us many times and continues to provide functionality and support for our devices like we haven't seen before in other tools. The ability to use TeamViewer quick connect provides efficient and non-technical ways for our non-tech-savvy end-users to get the assistance that they need while IT has the visibility and control over all of its' computer assets.

Only giving a 9 rather than 10 due to the occasional issue after LogMeIn runs updates, and sometimes I have to walk end-user (on Macs) through "allowing" access to services - have not encountered that on PCs

Although the program is simple to operate on its own, determining how simple it is to use TeamViewer is extremely subjective and dependent on the particular use case. The transfer of files is also supported, and the company boasts that its transfer rate is far faster than that of any of its rivals. On-the-fly compression, which was a feature exclusive to TeamViewer, was responsible for this accomplishment.

The application is built on VNC which is a very stable technology.

My calls and e-mails to tech support have been few and far between, but those rare interactions were always pleasant and handled professionally. Most support can be accessed electronically, but when the need arises to actually speak to a human being, LogMeIn's customer service reps are clearly well-trained and knowledgeable. Another plus: there isn't the language barrier that I've experienced with other technology companies' support centers.

I was able to talk to sales about our problem (of being charged for an additional year subscription when we had asked to cancel), and Sales and I had a nice conversation. But when I contacted TeamViewer Support by email to request that our subscription be canceled, they very "nicely" told me by email that I should have read the "fine print". And that they can "Automatically Renew" a subscription for a year if they do not receive a cancellation request a month before the expiration of the current subscription. (When I called Support, I was put on hold; and I held, and held, and held, etc.) Admittedly, part of the problem was mine. I sent in my cancellation request after the deadline that TeamViewer outlines in their "fine print". But, I still feel that TeamViewer could have or should have a policy of refunding at least a large percentage of the "Automatic Renewal" charge, especially if the customer is not utilizing the subscription.

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.

Be aware if you have dual monitors on the host, you can only view one at a time on remote, but it is easy to toggle back and forth

Implementation was easy enough that it didn't pose any problems. Training was minimal and the system works right out of the box

ConnectWise is a much easier program to use. The end-user either types in a code or you send an email with a link to the session. A small applet is installed on their computer so you can connect. And this applet is removed when the session is over. Constant remote access capabilities are about the same since both programs allow you to install a program that runs as a service on the client system. This gives you access to that system at any time.

TeamViewer is a great tool with a well-respected name and a foundation of trust with advanced and intermediate users. We used to have BeyondTrust (Bomgar) in our office and it provided equivalent feature sets but had a dated appearance. Performance with both products is exceptional, and we could only ask for TeamViewer to have a mandatory recording feature.

• Save time
• Improve customer satisfaction as we can involve the entire team any time and from any place to solve clients' problems
• It effects clients' satisfaction negatively if the internet is not strong enough, as we can't connect to solve their problems

• Since I started using TeamViewer, the number of times I have to visit clients to update our programs on the PC has been visibly reduced, which is very helpful.
• TeamViewer not only improves work efficiency and productivity, but also contributes to work-life balance and, above all, to fast customer service.
• It is also recommended for system administrators who cover several offices with a small number.
