Considered Both Products
RemotePC
Chose RemotePC
Although TeamViewer stands as the top product for remote support, the same goes for its pricing. A small business like ours wouldn't be able to afford software like TeamViewer and we would never be using most of its features.
On the other end, Splashtop is an affordable option, …
Chose RemotePC
TeamViewer has a lot of features (maybe even too many) and feels very overpriced. RemotePC delivers much greater value.
Chose RemotePC
This software offers a similar feature set at a much better price point, making it a better value.
Chose RemotePC
It is pretty similar. Splashtop is good but a bit pricey. RemotePC is more cost effective. Over all my favorite has been bomgar, RemotePC is better then kaseya.
Chose RemotePC
I think RemotePC is cost-effective, has excellent performance and responsiveness, and is user-friendly.
Chose RemotePC
As I mentioned earlier all the above products had difficulty working with Apple Operating Systems. Difficult to set the optimum security settings. Problems arose every time an OS update occurred.
Chose RemotePC
RemotePC provides comprehensive features and secure reliable connections at value pricing for our fixed remote admin needs.
Chose RemotePC
Just as good and much less expensive. Has all the features as the others have and I have no complaints so far.
Chose RemotePC
I purchased RemotePC to use on computers that had an issue with Splashtop. Splashtop was purchased due to the huge Logmein price increase. All three have very similar tools and uses. Logmein is a very solid tool but the pricing is restrictive for small companies. Splashtop
TeamViewer
Chose TeamViewer
I have used RemotePC. The controls did not seem as solid and refined as TeamViewer. From a budgetary prospective, RemotePC is way less expensive. However, TeamViewer seemed to have a more solid connection with fewer artifacts when transitioning between open windows. RemotePC is …
Chose TeamViewer
Easier access faster than some of the others. We love the mobile feature where you can use the app to connect when on the road. Also it has the ability to access cell phones as well, which many times helps us help a client with their iphones. Great feature. There have been …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is far better than the other programs
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is easier to implement, easier to use and has a vast feature set.

RemotePC is very well suited for remote administration and remote access to own PC's. Larger scale implementations might require integration and gateway server. Mobile access best requires a tablet however without a mouse navigation can be cumbersome. Multiple connections on one PC seems currently not supported so a one on one link for the time being

TeamViewer
It is well suited if the team members work remotely and need constant collaboration and communication throughout the development cycle. It is so helpful for Systems Engineers in the Software industry to resolve laptop and computer issues. It is also helpful for troubleshooting hardware issues like printers, scanners, server racks, and more. It is less suited if the teams are small and no remote access or group calls are needed, they could very well use telephones and mobile phones.

I still find value in this tool. If I needed to increase computers supported, I would need to revaluate pricing concerns.

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.

Pretty easy to setup and use. Get up and running and support users.

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.

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.

No nothing that really sticks out. For the most part I have only had to uninstall and reinstall application a couple of times when I hit a glitch. I will say that on a MAC it is a little harder to implement due to Apple's Permissions that need to be set. Sometimes it needs the client to intervene to get those permissions set.

A small business like ours wouldn't be able to afford software like TeamViewer and we would never be using most of its features. On the other end, Splashtop is an affordable option, but its deployment is a little too complicated. RemotePC was our choice, with an easy deployment process and a pricing program that's easy to understand and within our budget.

Horses for courses they say but all around, TeamViewer is the best software for remote management, period. Pulseway's remote desktop can work well on the phone app but on a desktop, it is often unreliable and drops connections. AnyDesk is not appropriate for our business and is only good on a case-by-case basis.

Return on Investment

  • reduced downtime with quick integration
  • ability to quickly access a remote computer, even when you don't have ready access to your own system. Any computer will work in a pinch :)
  • multi platform support simplifies interaction between various operating systems.

TeamViewer
About 2 - 3 months
  • Average Effective/workable time of a team member has increased because the team member does not to wait for the IT team do the installment of any software and hand the laptop over again.
  • Cost for the alternate laptops have been reduced, since there is less requirement now to handover a backup PC for the employees until the current PC's issue is resolved, if it's software issue.
  • Cost of the transport, electricity and building maintenance, has reduced, since the remote working option for the employees is available with the TeamViewer.
