POINTR vs. TeamViewer vs. Zoom Workplace

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.

Zoom Workplace is ideal for many businesses, more so because it saves money by uniting different functionalities into one app - meetings, messaging, phone, and scheduling. The tool keeps teams connected thanks to the amazing collaboration and communication features. In addition, Zoom Workplace is helpful for businesses with a hybrid team, thanks to its effortless connections.

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.

Because every other conference tool is expensive, bloated, or fails to make it easy to just have a call with someone.

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.

Zoom is made for the non tech office. It has features that can be made to do what you need to run things on a day to day basis. Immediately we we able to get meetings going with remote employees. The ability to be able to add smartphone connected people was a big plus. Zoom met our needs at the time.

We get what we need with our TeamViewer licence.

There have been less than a handful of outages during our two years with Zoom, and whenever there was one, an email informing us of the outage went out immediately, and they had the issue resolved shortly thereafter.

Steady connection and easy quick connect and disconnect

Zoom has among the best performance of any video conference platform, as I've mentioned several times. Besides that, their Chat platform works great, and their back end always runs smooth. It's unfortunate that reporting can now only be done by one month at a time, but nonetheless, it only takes a second to run any kind of Zoom report, whether it's an attendee report, Poll results, a user report, a list of meetings from the past month, etc.

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.

Because I got a response right away, and was assigned one specific individual to work with me from the beginning to the resolution. I had an actual email address and direct contact with this person without having to start over and over every time I contacted Zoom - this singular individual remained attentive and was well informed on the subject matter and quite able to resolve my needs.

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.

If you receive any pushback from higher ups, point to any of the various positive reviews like this one. Or show Zoom's excellent Gartner report, or articles describing Zoom's partnership with Sequoia capital. It's not difficult to show how Zoom is a trustworthy industry leader with best-in-class technology.

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.

As I said I have been using since my early college days so this is something I know very well compared to these two tools, so when I workplace had this tool in the option I obviously picked this tool and from then it's never let me down and other tool features are very overlapping or hidden this tools layout is very clear and transparent the customer service is great timely response which is an another add on.

I've rarely had problems with the product.

Because the Basic licenses are completely free, and because it's very easy to configure and install Zoom, and because anyone can join Zoom from a link without needing an account, scaling is a Breeze. There are absolutely no roadblocks. My company keeps adding more Zoom Pro license every week since it's so in demand. We were able to convert users from several different platforms onto Zoom with no trouble at all.

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.

• Zoom saved my business during the pandemics.
• Zoom's functionality was far ahead of anything available in the early days of the pandemic.
• In the last few months, the annual subscription has not appropriate for my use, so I might cancel it because I rarely use the extended session feature anymore.
• I wish there were a one-shot option to purchase a single 2-hour session with all the full features (AI, recording, etc.) instead of an annual subscription.
