ManageEngine Remote Access Plus vs. TeamViewer

ManageEngine Remote Access Plus is very well suited in environments which consist hybrid operating system. It supports all types of OS like windows, Mac, and Linux. It helps in taking the remote of system and troubleshoot the m if any problem occurs hence engineers do not need to be physically present on the location for the purpose of solving it. It helps to keep a complete track of endpoints that what application, process is being used. It is not well suited in environment where there is no Active directory or SCCM server because ManageEngine Remote Access Plus need agent to work and deploying agent the environment where Active directory does not exist is a big task. Manually deploying agent on every system is very time taking and need so much of effort.

Helpful for organized IT teams supporting multiple manufacturing warehouse zones. Useful for training, auditing, and meeting ISO/quality or compliance documentation requirements. False positives can lock users out unexpectedly, particularly common when supporting remote home users. Session connections can be interrupted, which is painful when configuring warehouse automation systems and printers that require a restart.

• allow on-premise installation
• the way in which teams can be organized

• Quick support is an nice feature to make it easy for the end user to download and use
• Easy to connect using numbers
• The connection is always good when connected to an end user
• The tool is easy to use, the buttons are easy to understand what the use for it is

• It is an agent based solution which is a major disadvantage. We can not control the system which do not have agent installed on them. Hence this is a disadvantage. Even installing agent is a big task in a large organization.
• Till the agent are not installed on every system we can not have full control over the organization network. Agent deployment takes time hence we can utilize the product with its full efficiency.
• The pricing is very high, and it goes on increasing as we add more technician and endpoints.
• The connection gets drop sometime while controlling in new release because it contains some bugs. We also need to have proper bandwidth for using it smoothly.
• The implementation and deployment takes time and needs proper support from vendor. Sufficient documentation are also not available.

• Now, it doesn’t work in fast network environments: sometimes, data is delayed during transfer.
• There are a small number of ways that a user is allowed to change the interface on the device.
• Some minor increases in difficulty with advanced functions of the application.

As long as I continue to provide remote support for my clients, it's a no brainier. For what I pay out, I probably make it back tenfold in the ability to provide remote support from wherever and whenever. Not to mention the saved gas money for a fix that only takes 5 minutes but it takes you 20 minutes to get there. As my business continues to grow, and I support more and more clients, my need for TeamViewer will only grow.

My rating is due to the fact that there are still many things to improve, and things that could be opened up a little more to allow the administrator to have greater control, such as being able to have one more endpoint in a custom group, which is essential and cannot be done.

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.

We get what we need with our TeamViewer licence.

The support from the Teamviewer team has always been top notch. Any support ticket that we have submitted has been handled very quickly and with the best possible resolution. We find in most cases, contacting for a support ticket is not even necessary, as the knowledge base is more than adequate.

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.

TeamViewer installation and deployment to other devices is pretty straightforward and does not require much technical know-how. This makes ease of use attractive when supporting both new and existing clients with limited technical knowledge. I think ease of use is a huge factor in getting new clients. TeamViewer handles that extremely well.

There aren't many others we evaluated on the list, but we actually tested several very good and comprehensive ones, quite flexible, but they either didn't offer on-premises installation or their cost-benefit ratio didn't suit our needs. There were some that had everything, but their pricing plans weren't suitable because they weren't flexible, and our company was in a very high price range for what we required.

Apple Remote Desktop requires a VPN connection to the LAN to be useful, but it is still necessary to use it when TeamViewer will not connect. Datto RMM seems very solid, and I like it, though I only have access to it from our MPS. It can often connect when the TV cannot. ScreenConnect was not a good fit for us and did not seem to work well.

I've rarely had problems with the product.

• Faster recovery of issues from screen sharing
• managing patches without manual intervention
• deploying software to multiple workstations at the same time

It took about 3 months.

• Customer Support of our business has become more interactive with customers, leading to faster resolution of their problems.
• Remotely accessing devices in our office allows employees to stay productive while working from home.
• TeamViewer helps us to collaborate with other firms for projects we're doing.
