Reviews
(1-25 of 258)TeamViewer, the invaluable IT tool!
- Complete remote access is easy and smooth, almost never any latency
- File transfer is a breeze
- Console quickly shows when a machine is offline which can be invaluable
- There have been issues lately with Mac agents installation, in particular lost functionality after OS upgrade
- It seems like the file transfer window cannot be minimized or moved while in progress so it blocks any other actions
TeamViewer Looks Good
- Remote Support
- File Transfer
- Mobile TeamViewer
- Pricing
- Concurrent Session
TeamViewer for all
- remote access
- user friendly
- works quickly with good internet
- issues contacting support when needing help
- file transfer not available
- timeout
TeamViewer is the best remote support tool out there
- Allows remote login on to systems where the user doesn’t have to have their email established to open a link.
- It uses the full monitor instead of a browser
- File transfers are a breeze
- Chat functionality works well too
- Multiple sessions at once and viewing multiple monitors easily
- Better explanation for end user where you log in when their admin privileges are locked down.
TeamViewer Review
- Connects quickly.
- Video quality is excellent.
- Sound from the remote computer may come through, depending on the setting you have in place.
- The TeamViewer interface allows you to put the computers you support into meaningful groups.
- Each computer that you keep a shortcut for has a place for note specific to the computer that I have found to be helpful.
- Sometimes when you try to connect, the video will hang with an error, something about "adjusting video parameters" or something similar to this wording.
- Sometimes, the response on the remote computer is delayed and it's hard to know if the problem is a network problem on the remote end, or if the Team Service happens to be running slow (which happens occasionally.
- My Business license only allows me one active channel at a time, so if I forget to disconnect from a remote session on one of my three licenses computers, I will have to go back and disconnect this session before being able to connect again from my other 2 licensed computers.
- It takes a long time to get an email response from support when you send problems in (usually a day or two).
- TeamViewer recently made changes to the user interface that were, in my opinion, not very intuitive. With this, if you go to their website to download their application, there are now several versions to choose form and it's hard to a average user to know which one to download.
Managing remote unmanned sites in remote locations.
- Quick and responsive control of sites, even ones with slow connections.
- Accurate machine status despite sometimes flaky connections.
- Sending commands to machines.
- Adjusting view preferences.
- Better user support when making requests.
- TeamViewer signing out unexpectedly.
- Display timeout period after connections have aborted frequently due to bad or slow internet.
- Allow for disabling of pop ups and prompts i.e update prompts or review requests.
I Loved it and recommended for use.
- Remotely access computers
- File Sharing
- Chat through voice or text
- The speed needs some work
- The security is good but sometimes it doesn't connect even with the correct password or Username
- If other user is non technical then matching latest versions and then connect is very difficult.
The best remote support application ever.
- Remote screen sharing- since we are working with a large team, we need to manage the system. TeamViewer does it.
- Installing new applications remotely and Safely.
- Troubleshooting the IT and application issues like emails are not syncing. Failure of Excel loading etc.
- Video Support within the application would be highly recommended.
- Software can be more lighter.
- The login to other system should be done by OTP rather then session passwords or long codes.
TeamViewer and the ease of remote support
- Easy access - clients for numerous operating systems
- Works with or without and account
- File transfers are seamless and fast
- Erroneous detection of commercial use
- Nothing more to add. Works very well.
Secure Remote Access through TeamViewer
- By using TeamViewer, our IT support team has been able to solve the problems very quickly
- Since we can refresh the password, the security of the session is assured, so the same IT support consultant can no longer access my PC with the same password.
- Files can be moved and copied through out the PCs, so that the required files, tools can easily be moved and installed through the session
- Sometimes, it is taking a bit of time to start the session (the incoming connection to load), so that the initializing time of the session can be increased
- There's no option to create own ID as Your ID. So, it will be user-friendly if we can generate our own TeamViewer ID in our desired way
- When the network connection is changed (connected to a VPN while the session is active), the session gets disconnected, and sometimes have to restart the TeamViewer, so it's better if TeamViewer can identify the network connection changes automatically and automatically reconnect using the new network.
- Remote networking
- Remote bug fixing
- High security
- Cost
- Customer support
- Client onboarding
TeamViewer is the best tool for remote access
- It is quite useful for installing new software.
- It also allows us to access remote devices from both computers and mobile devices.
- There is adequate security on the connection to prevent access by anyone.
- It allows us to quickly change the password and generate it randomly without any delay.
- I will suggest adding a feature that can generate passwords randomly within a timeframe that is set by the user so that it is more secure.
- You can focus on increasing the speed at which files are transferred.
- Remote access without lag.
- Full screen sharing accessibility.
- Easy to connect options.
- It would be great to have one admin able to connect and address multiple users if there is a similar issue at multiple systems by taking remote access.
TeamViewer - Best Way to Remote Monitor Your Team and Clients
- Accessing a remote desktop, laptop, server or network device
- Remote guidance to customers by taking over the laptop or desktop of the customers
- Supporting through NOC during weekends and holidays
- Helping a young recruit remotely while supporting a client
- Checking office servers from a remote location
- The online meeting feature needs improvement
- File sharing needs to be improved
- A trail log of all the access and changes done during remote support
TeamViewer is a lifesaver!
- remote technical support
- ease to use for the user and the support team
- convenient and non invasive
- I wish it could have more funcionalities or control
- sometimes it freezes with no reason
- it can be quite expensive
- sometimes you don't know who is checking your computer remotely, could be a scammer
TeamViewer for the Win
- Ease of Use
- Provides full control of endpoint remotely
- easily reconnects after reboot
- Flexible license management
- Client hasn't changed much
- Relies on endpoint client versus cloud center
Wonderful communication Software
- setting up meetings
- easy joining
- awesome support
- remote access can be used for malpractices such as hacking and ransomware.
- the black screen feature is a major disadvantage which gives the user access to black the screen of the remote-connected devices hiding background processes.
- requires strong bandwidth for video connection.
it is not appropriate in places when when it is used for malpractice this should be TeamViewer should do a bit more to avoid
also, it cannot be used in open offices where places where all we need a bit of background suppression
A fast and easy-to-use application for remote access
- Fast and easy-to-use
- File transfer is particularly helpful
- Good for collaboration as well
- Tends to get slow sometimes
- If both machines have a different screen resolution then the image gets distorted
1) Remote access for IT support
2) Collaboration
3) File transfer
Not very well suited for -
1) When you want to collaborate while working on software that are graphic intensive like photo/video editing, rendering, etc.
TeamViewer is a great tool for advanced technical support!
- Screen sharing.
- File transfer.
- Secure connections.
- Remote audio transmission.
- Slightly laggy sometimes.
- Don't like the lockout feature after multiple attempts.
- Audio sourcing is confusing sometimes.
Powerful remote access but with some issues.

- Provides unattended access.
- We can reconnect after a reboot.
- Needs a compatible version.
- Needs to be installed on both connecting systems.
- There's no free client version.

- Fast connections.
- Secure connections.
- Simple interface.
- I use basic features with no issues.
- Nothing comes to mind.
TeamViewer Review.
- Remote access.
- File transfer,
- Screen recording,
- Ease of use,
- Ability to change device accessing remote computers - difficult to find confirmation of devices assigned (max of 3 is ok) , because I use more than three devices to remotely access customers; I am disappointed that there is a limit to how many changes per year can be made, and the ambiguity of this restriction (i.e., what is the count for device changes already made).
Great product and well worth the investment.
- Connects relatively easily.
- Easy to add devices that are regularly accessed.
- Easy to download and upload files to remote sites.
- Good at managing users.
- It seems uncertain at times how we can use the same account on both ends.
- Leave out the advertising.
Better than most of the remote management options out there.
- Easy Access remoting in (and notifying users).
- Controls and access to the end point system.
- Sorting machines by type, function, and organizational unit.
- The ability to send command line requests and troubleshooting without fully logging in when a connection is spotty or drops unexpectedly.
- As mentioned above, with spotty connections, it would be nice if, while performing a file transfer and the connection fails, Teamviewer would automatically attempt to reconnect and resume the transfer if it had not been completed.
- permission inheritance, I was made a company admin, and for a number of devices, I only have easy access. increasing my permissions has had to be done manually for each device in the group.
- Easy to use encryption while remotely connected
- Ease of connecting to the other computer
- Provides logging of remote access
- Transferring files between computer
- Better connectivity performance
- Updates to TeamViewer are hard to navigate and remain consistent
- Support of multi-users
- The UI is clunky
TeamViewer is not well-suied for larger issues on the remote computer where additional IT support is needed to fix the issue.
It is also not well-suited for larger issues that require more time since the performance can be laggy.
