Considered Both Products
TeamViewer
Chose TeamViewer
Screen sharing in Zoom is not very good, as we faced a screen blackout issue during remote control, but Team Viewer provides a better environment for remote control. It is easy to access other computers by using a key, and it provides many things during meetings, increasing …
Chose TeamViewer
We have to use one or the other access software depending on our client. However, if available, we prefer TeamViewer, as it provides more control and easy access.
Chose TeamViewer
This tool's security is astounding, and it offers two-factor authentication to protect the data. Additionally, the recording options enable us to record meetings in high definition and share them directly from the dashboard. It is a lightweight tool that can be quickly set up …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is much easier to use than Zoom. It has just enough features and is simple to install. It really works well for those that are not computer savvy.
Chose TeamViewer
Really the closest thing is Zoom. Zoom doesn't have nearly the level of security of TeamViewer, and generally, all of Zoom's features were lower quality. Worse screen-share/remote control, file sharing was not secure, poor audio quality. It was generally just unattractive …
Chose TeamViewer
I feel that TeamViewer's integration with clipboard and hotkeys works better than any other software in the market.
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer had a better performance on the company's use cases, so it was the chosen option.
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is better than RDS because of the way it handles the video. At the core, they are both remote control applications. However the method for implementation is quite different. RDS gives you 90% experience of physically being at the terminal but TeamViewer gives you …
Chose TeamViewer
We are investigating the use of Microsoft Teams
We currently use Zoom and find that most higher education institutions are on this platform as well so that helps with usage and understanding of the program
Chose TeamViewer
Reliability and constant connection was what set it apart. I dont even think it has any direct competitor since none of the other tools I used had the option to leave the software running and maintain a constant connection.
Chose TeamViewer
Skype for Business is perfect for calls and chat, but TeamViewer is better for remote control access. Zoom is great for conference calls, especially if you have less internet bandwidth or a less powerful computer. Zoom is light weight compare to TeamViewer but doesn't have as …
Chose TeamViewer
Used different products like TeamViewer. TeamViewer is free and a lot of end users know about installing the software as it is easy to install. Other products like Zoom have higher payment plans for purchasing and less number of users are supported with respect to TeamViewer. …
Chose TeamViewer
Originally TeamViewer had great technology and a good price. What drew me to it was that it was cheaper than LogMeIn Rescue and you could purchase a perpetual license. It soon became clear that they broke functionality between older and new versions. If you plan on only …
Chose TeamViewer
Teamviewer provides an easy to install and configure solution that is much easier to deploy than its competitor ScreeConnect. Pricing is competitive and support has been excellent. Teamviewer has been in the space longer than must companies and has the experience to provide a …
Chose TeamViewer
I have used TightVNC, Jump, and RDP for remote access and Zoom and WebEx for screensharing. All of them have relatively complicated setup and require quite a bit of preparation on both ends. I definitely prefer team viewer for remote access and screen sharing, but it lacks …
Chose TeamViewer
I've used a few different screen sharing and conference tools and each of them have their strengths and weaknesses. I would say that TeamViewer holds its own when using it as a remote management system. Other tools either cost more or don't have the same functionality, or …
Zoom Workplace
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is amazing for video calls and conference calls and is very lightweight. Slack is better when it comes to chatting but in my opinion, Zoom is better with calls. Skype might be cheaper but I think you get more value from Zoom. Screenshare is big on TeamViewer but Zoom can …
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is definitely better than Skype. It stacks very well with TeamViewer and LogMeIn Rescue when it comes to actual online meeting and controlling the remote systems. It is better than TeamViewer as it does not require any purchase or full application installation by the …
Chose Zoom Workplace
TeamViewer is sloppy, and its SSO sign-in is faulty. I am so glad the company steered towards Zoom for all communications.
Chose Zoom Workplace
i find Zoom Workplace comparable to GoTo Meeting in most aspects. i find zoom superior to LogMeIn and Teams for taking control of client computers - it's support of shortcuts is perfect, while the other products don't handle shortcuts correctly - they fire the shortcut on your …
Chose Zoom Workplace
We actually use both Teams and Zoom. We mainly use Zoom for meetings with people outside our organization. We regularly host meetings and conferences. It has made things a lot easier for us. It is a universal platform that everyone can use with little to no issues.
We like the …
Chose Zoom Workplace
We started testing the tool and quickly changed everything. We chose to use it because it worked very well and with a higher quality than expected. Today we do not think of using another tool because it is meeting all our needs. We managed to keep the team updated and united, …
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is lightweight and easy to use with external users across multiple ecosystems. Easy to share and integrate with meetings and standard business practices make Zoom a go-to solution for collaboration with IT and Marketing teams. Other systems are clunky and resource hungry, …
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is very easy to use and inexpensive. Zoom has allowed more users during the one call. Good video and audio compared to other products.
Chose Zoom Workplace
Zoom is an amalgamation of video conferencing + remote access software.
You do not need to install two software for one task.
Remote conferencing can be done while the Video conferencing is ongoing.
Chose Zoom Workplace
The main reason we choose Zoom over Slack was due to the screen sharing. At the time this was not offered by Slack. However, currently Slack offers screen sharing but we have decided to continue using Zoom for its ease of use and ability to screen share with many attendees.
Chose Zoom Workplace
WebEx seems similar, I think heavier on broadband, but probably more suited for heavy content sessions like animator-led classes.

TeamViewer
If someone were to ask me for a recommendation, I would honestly say that it was the best option for me. Many times, my team members, other therapy department consultants, or doctors have encountered a problem with their systems that they are unable to resolve on their own. They just reached out to me and explained their concerns. Once their system is connected to me, I can resolve their situation in a very short amount of time.

Integration with other products and the AI summaries have been huge wins for Zoom Workplace in our organization. They have been life changing for our team. Also, being able to make and receive calls from our cell phones rather than have to give out personal cell phone numbers has been wildly successful with our attorneys.

Pros
TeamViewer

  • 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

  • I love how easy it is to set the focus on the presenter. It is annoying when people don't spotlight themselves as a presenter, so you get to see the whole gallery of attendees in smaller, two-inch windows.
  • I like the capability of having break-out rooms. Even though I don't use them very often, it is nice to have them available if the right situation presents itself for smaller group chats.
  • The recording quality is better than I have experienced with other products (Microsoft Teams, WebEx, etc.), and the fact that it is already an MP4, so I don't have to convert it for publishing on our intranet is huge to me.

Cons
TeamViewer
  • The update Cycle of the Desktop app is sometimes unstable. We downloaded the latest TeamViewer Desktop App from the official site, and it immediately asks us to update.
  • Pricing tier for small teams can be improved.
  • Live subtitles for audio from remote device can be implemented.

  • Love notes - allow insertion of table or grid
  • Allow admin to turn off DND
  • Allow a way to group individual people chats - not channels just individual peeps into groups for ease of finding - like how you can group shared calendars into sections in Outlook

We need this tool in our day to day business. It is what we do all day remoting into clients devices. In this day and age we can access devices all over the world as long as we have secure internet connection. It certainly saves money in gas, and even if you are away you can help.

We're sticking with Zoom for the foreseeable future--given its compelling feature set, ease of use, and advanced technology, there's just no other competition to be excited about. Plus it's a Gartner-recognized industry leader, so it's a rather easy choice.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I have never used the online training either.

Or show Zoom's excellent Gartner report, or articles describing Zoom's partnership with Sequoia capital.

Alternatives Considered

AnyDesk, despite being relatively light on system utilization, didn’t offer some of the pro collaboration features that we required. All the functionalities that were part of TeamViewer matched well with the functionality, ease, and cost aspects needed to support our team's work.

Zoom Workplace is typically on the more expensive end against other options, but it's the industry leader for a reason. It has the most brand credibility by far, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. There are limitations when it comes to technical performance, customization and video/audio quality. I prefer Slack myself for communication apps, but Zoom Workplace is a good alternative.

The billing and price model is really fair for so many functions that they offer, our remote work requires each of the features that Zoom offers, so accepting payment for a tool like this is the least we can do. I like that billing arrives on time and that they offer opportunities and payment times.

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.

Almost immediately. We could not support our clients effectively without TeamViewer. Its reliable, fast and allows us to do our work in a moments notice.
  • The core of our business is providing remote IT support to unmanned stations. Without a program like TeamViewer, we would be unable to operate.
