While I am happy with the service, it does leave something to be desired. The MPLS circuit connection has been very stable and I am very happy with its uptime. I am also quite happy with the calling plans. I have been able to cut back on costs with the design they have. Support is the reason for the lower score.

TeamViewer
It is really well suited in scenarios where we need remote support from others, where we can take control of other systems too remotely that can significantly reduce time and boost the reliability of the organization. Sharing/copying files, communicating with each other through chat box or even audio calls. It has just a simple step to connect quickly to remote systems and make use of it. Some of our ML Engineers and myself have been benefitted with this when they helped me debug, run some code, resolve some remote container issues for our ML models to run continuously. It is not advised or recommended to use this application to connect to systems that have heavy critical information as it can lead to data leak which can cost a lot to a organization. It is also not advised to use when the internet connectivity is really poor, because it can waste a lot of time on both the ends.

TeamViewer
  • I mostly use it to fix computer problems or to get computer problems fixed in the home computer I use for my office.
  • The advantage is that installation is very simple.
  • The IT department can easily switch to your personal computer and not only view the screen, but also remotely control it.

Cons

  • Can TeamViewer have an easy access in areas which are challenged on internet. It is not easy to connect when there is unstable connection or slow, thus, causing the delay as well on target work. It pretty much cause some frustration on both parties as we can only wait when connection is at back to re-connect again
  • The free TeamViewer version has limited access to remotely connect to PC or devices. For faithful users, can TeamViewer increase more time of free remote access before a User subscribes for the paid version.
  • The chat or call box or option needs some improvement on its interface. However, everything else is OK

We will definitely renew our TeamViewer software license when the time comes. This service works and does not matter on what device you are trying to control (it depends on the license), and it is very responsive and does not seem to use up a lot of data.

Compared to other products I've used (ConnectWise Control), TeamViewer is harder to set up and get connected. It is especially difficult to set up "permanent" unattended remote access, where you want to be able to connect to and control a remote computer without having to exchange codes and passwords every time you connect.

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.

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

When I tried LogMeIn and VNC, I discovered that TeamViewer was more reliable, quicker to set up, and more consistent in terms of connection stability and reliability. All in all, it is a more cost-effective and efficient solution that can be deployed without the need to open firewall ports and can be installed effortlessly by any end-user.

  • 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.
