As mentioned previously, it is easy to use and access since the you can chat, send voice memos or stickers in a conversation. So in overall it's very entertaining. But throughout that, the audio quality can seem to be a bit off. (Could be personal headset issue) Overall that is the only issue that is present or consistent.

Most suitable for large corporations who want to have real-time control of multiple devices in different countries. It is not suitable for scenarios where permissions for using the system need to be obtained from the user for every session if there is no support subscription in place.

Pros

  • Viber is a cross platform product. It does not matter if someone uses Android or iOS device, it will work exactly the same.
  • Also the desktop version is very good. You can switch between the desktop and mobile versions within a conversation and see updates right away.
  • It's a very international product. It has been available for very long time, which makes it very wide spread - it has a good user base.
  • You can see the status of your messages.

Cons
Rakuten Group
  • When someone sends a file in Viber, the program automatically saves it in your phone memory. This means that you must delete them manually and it really annoys me, as it takes a lot of time to do that.
  • It contains enormous amounts of adds.
  • There is file sharing limit.

TeamViewer
  • With an iPad, you can't take control of the device, so you have to tell someone what to do. Which can be a challenge because the end user doesn't know what to do
  • With the free version of TeamViewer you cant enter Admin credentials because TeamViewer blocks the windows to fill in the credentials
  • The free version can be really limited which can be putting off people because they don't see the full potential of TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a reliable and really strong tool for accessing remote IT platforms secure and fast. We don't know any product that provide us such strong functionality to make our life as a internationally recognized MES provider with DIAMES with an international clientele so easy. We look forward for any new TeamViewer functionality that supports us even more.

Support Rating

I have not frequently used the support for Viber as I have not had many problems with it on my phone. I did use support one time for problems with the computer application and used the forums to solve my problems. They were fairly easy to follow and I appreciated the online help in that format.

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.

I had a very good experience of implementing TeamViewer in our organization because it did not take time to be adopted. I could state that the ability of this software to run on multiple operating systems together with its GUI meant that our technicians could apply the software in employment without extensive training.

End-to-end encryption scrambles my messages and delivers them as a scrambled code to my friend's device, whether mobile or desktop, so that only their device can decode them into plain text. If my friend's phone is turned off or they don't have access to the internet, my message will be stored on Viber's servers (for a limited time) until their device is ready to receive it.

Because Viber can't access or read my private conversations in the first place, Viber can't sell them.

We selected TeamViewer due to its unique suite of features. Comparing connection latency with other platforms, TeamViewer outperformed them while being more performant, using fewer system resources. Unlike other platforms, which keep alerts about usage plans and advertise the installation of other software (like Chrome, which is advertised by AnyDesk), TeamViewer provides a sleek and modern interface with no disruptions.

Return on Investment

  • Viber saves me financially since I am now able to communicate with my international clients for free.
  • Viber helps keep my clients engaged by the fact that I can so easily share photos, which is important as a freelance photographer.
  • Viber allows me to make my messages to clients appealing in a visual way, which I have noticed helps drive actions of my clients, such as remembering to book their next session or pay for their photo order.

We started seeing benefits from TeamViewer within the first 3 months. Initially we saw immediate savings reducing travel time and costs for support visits. Within the first quarter, we’d already cut travel-related expenses by around 15-20%, which quickly added up. As the team became more familiar with the software and we streamlined our processes, the time savings from faster issue resolution grew, further improving our ROI.
  • It has really reduces travel cost. Saved us approximately 30% on travel expense by handling most tasks remotely instead of sending technicians on site.
  • We are able to resolve issues way faster within minutes.
  • Faster service delivery has contributed to better client retention and stronger relationships.
