    When we are needing to patch workstations for zero-day vulnerabilities or security risks, Explorer is our go-to tool to push out those settings quickly. We have a TeamViewer DEX server stood up in our DMZ to communicate with the workstations outside of our VPN, so we can push those settings or patches to devices without needing them to attach to our network. It's really nice to be able to communicate with the computers that rarely connect to our corporate network and ensure that they are still protected. We do have the TeamViewer Client installed on all of our internal servers in order to get inventory and licensing information, but we don't typically utilize the TeamViewer software on the servers for much else. A different team handles those computers and often requires change management, so expedited changes don't happen often there. Standard deployment and patching tools do the job.

    We specifically use Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) for monitoring critical apps and apps that are known for having connection issues. Some critical SaaS apps for example would be Zoom (call quality), Genesys (call quality), Microsoft Services, Service Now, etc. Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX) is perfect for quick troubleshooting and providing a quick Mean-time to Innocence (MTTI) for Zscaler since it is often blamed for issues given it is our forward proxy and primary means of internet security.

    Cons
    TeamViewer
    • They currently don't have all of their products incorporated into the web interface, meaning that we need a separate administration console for using their Shopping product.
    • The TeamViewer DEX Exchange is an online repository for common or useful instructions, but it is still a bit lacking. New instructions aren't published very often.
    • Writing your own custom instructions for Explorer has a bit of a learning curve if you aren't already familiar with SQL queries or their SCALE language. There is published documentation for SCALE, but I'd like to see them add a basic functionality course to their online training portal.

    Usability
    TeamViewer
    TeamViewer DEX has plenty of features and functionality right out of the box. They offer an Exchange web portal where you can go to download new product packs as they become available through consulting engagements and customer requests. Sometimes you might need to do something more specific or customized than what is available to everyone, and that's when your own knowledge is put to the test. Being able to write your own SCALE code would be invaluable, but takes a while to learn if you aren't already familiar with SQL, PowerShell, or a few other popular languages. Making it your own can definitely take some work, but it's worth it in the end.

    Feels often hard to discern what tab one needs to be in to see relevant information. If I am in applications looking at it and I find a few people have issues, I then have to leave the applications tab to go to each individual user and discern why they are having issues instead of being able to select all of those individuals and lump them together. It does do geo grouping though which sometimes helps.

    Microsoft has good intentions, but they are often late to the table. On more than one occasion, we have seen Microsoft incorporate a new feature into their own products, but it's something that TeamViewer had already been offering for a year or more. By the time Microsoft adds a new feature, it has already been in our toolbox and even then doesn't seem to have all of the additional functionality that we get from the TeamViewer software. Currently, we're starting to see Microsoft's push for endpoint performance analytics, which TeamViewer DEX has already done impressively for some time now.

    We have also used Cisco Thousand Eyes and NextThink. Imagine a product that offers the best of both worlds and is still somehow more powerful and easier to deploy than either one- that is Zscaler Digital Experience (ZDX).

    Return on Investment
    TeamViewer
    • Being able to deploy configuration changes while devices are off-network was a real-life-saver for us during the sudden work-from-home scenarios we faced during the pandemic.
    • Reclaiming unused software licenses has provided some additional budget to use towards other products, and helps us to justify the cost of what we already have.
    • Using Experience to proactively troubleshoot performance issues not only reduces the number of help desk tickets but also provides a better work environment for our employees.
