Creating stable and fast international Links to Windows server systems at our customer side to support their system function, system setup and comprehensive data analysis. We also use the tool when we invite potential new customer sharing with them online insights of our Manufacturing Execution System DIAMES platform to show them the potential benefit.
  • Give us internationally active remote access to DIAMES servers at customer side for support issues.
  • Give us the opportunity to present our DIAMES solution live to potential new customers without physical visits.
  • Enable us with three business locations on three continents sharing a common IT environment without physical visiting another of our business location.
  • Gives us the opportunity sharing a life problem in our DIAMES application with software tool providers when we recognize a problem for which we need support.
  • We are dealing with DIAMES customers in China, Europe and USA.
  • DIAMES is a Windows server based environment. With TeamViewer we can create a remote access to a life system environment.
  • With a strong and fast internet access TeamViewer enables us response time to actions like we would be on site.
  • TeamViewer is for us more reliable and more secure than a Anydesk access.
  • Our customer have been very happy about our support when Corona did not allow us any on site visit too.
Creating connections to DIAMES systems in Australia, China as well in South Africa with same speed and response like with systems in Europe or USA is a huge benefit for us.

  • Very positive is the fact for complete remote support for our customers. All the time not only because Corona restrictions.
  • Offering potential new customers a complete view into a life DIAMES system without physical travel for both parties.
  • Getting better support from third parties by sharing a concrete software problem live.
  • TeamViewer did become an important part of our business life.
  • Using TeamViewer for supporting our customers on a 24-hour base have given us many additional DIAMES projects to compete against competitors.
Immediate on day one, using TeamViewer.
We have tried to use AnyDesk but don't feel us secure like with TeamViewer. Many of our DIAMES customers wouldn't allow us to use AnyDesk to access the DIAMES servers on their sites. They don't trust the product and its reliability. AnyDesk is not as fast as TeamViewer in our test environments.
It's easy and as expected for such a product. TeamViewer is based on a secure high level of program code. Assuming that many new KI functionality of many new aspects will make the product even stronger in the near future. We are looking forwards for such new functionality that will create new features for us too.
SSO or TFA. We shall work on it and beliefe that strong security features will always be a mandatory element serving our DIAMES customers remotely with TeamViewer. We like to be a very satisfied user of TeamViewer for many years in the future too. There is no point and element that disapoint us on the existing TeamViewer functionality.
Yes it has been my decision that I don't regret at all.

About a year ago when we had problems connecting to a windows server in China. Finally it had been a network issue and not a TeamViewer problem.
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.

Across the whole organization. Mainly Support
  • Gives me full access to other computers
  • I can remotely help any user on any OS
  • Teamviewer optimizes speed and quality when remotely connected
  • I like the fact that I have control over the mouse keyboard and can at the same time talk to the person who I am helping
It's very well suited if you want to give remote help to somebody.
  • IT Support saves a lot of time.
Teamviewer is easy to set up for a non technical person because it provides you an ID and Password that can be forwarded. Also no need to open ports or forward anything in the firewall
Price.

TeamViewer is fantastic for providing customer support.

At OceanSky Web Design, I use TeamViewer to provide web consulting services to my clients. Even when they live out-of-state, I can show them examples of websites or get feedback about content they want on the website. I can use it to train clients on how to use and update their WordPress site or I can teach them how to install advertising. It even comes in handy for fixing computer issues that friends, family, or clients might be experiencing. TeamViewer is a huge help.
  • Easy to install.
  • Easy to use and understand.
  • Provides a way to share access remotely to a clients computer who needs help.
  • Speeds up development time on new websites.
It is very well suited for 1 on 1 interactions. I haven't used the meetings feature yet.
  • Increased productivity
  • Better customer service
  • WordPress,Web CEO
I use TeamViewer almost exclusively for customer support.
A very helpful program that I will probably use more often in the future, perhaps even for meetings.

In our organization we use TeamViewer a great deal because we are a global company. It is utilized mainly for connecting to computers that are overseas where the users are not always available to help us gain access to their computers. We also use the software as a method to connect remotely when other remote assistance / access tools don't function effectively. A couple examples of this is when there is an extremely slow connection or when a computer has been infected with a virus and needs to be rebooted in safe mode and then accessed again remotely.
  • Speed of the connection: The speed that TeamViewer allows the screen to refresh is very helpful especially when connecting to computers all around the world. This is the fastest software as far as screen refresh that I have ever used. All other software has a lag due to the speed of the connection. I have never run into an issue with Teamviewer.
  • File Transfer: The file transfer capability that TeamViewer has is a very nice thing to have. When working on systems that are in a location where the user is not able to assist you due to the time difference or schedule conflicts, this becomes very useful for copying install files to the computer while the computer is not connected to the company network.
  • View-ability of dual monitors: This feature is invaluable. In the earlier versions of the software it wasn't an option. Ever since version 7 I believe you have the option to view more than 1 monitor should the end user have more than one connected to their computer. This is very useful when working on computers remotely because of the convenience.
  • Able to restart the computer in safe mode: This feature has allowed me to connect to numerous computers that were very infected with a virus which was preventing other remote software tools from successfully establishing a connection. Allowing the connection to be re-established after prompting the "restart in safe mode" has saved endless hours in downtime for our end users.
  • Account / System Management: If you create an account, which you should do to get the full functionality out of the program, you can do so much more. Once you are signed in you can create groups which can be based upon the systems locations. Within that you can include your different systems and configure the separate instances to save the ID and password so it connects automatically when you double click on the system. You can name the system with the user's name which makes connecting / searching for a users computer simple.
It is a very well suited application to be used in a large corporation. Private users or smaller companies may not find it cost effective. This software is not only useful for desktops and laptops but also for servers. Another nice thing about TeamViewer and being able to create an account is that you are able to save connections so others that need to connect to the same computer in the future can log into the account and that system is available.
  • TeamViewer has increased our efficiency / reliability as a customer technical support desk. We are able to resolve issues much faster and with greater ease than with any other remote support software.
  • TeamViewer has allowed us to add a "Remote Desktop" link on our website that is fully customizable that allows us to establish a remote support connection with our customers and individuals that use our software. This is something that has improved our customer service because before TeamViewer we weren't able to do anything as far as computer technical support with our outside customers that were not on our network.
  • Being able to connect to user's computers while they are away on vacation, working at home due to sickness or inclement weather is invaluable. We are thankful for TeamViewer especially when other remote access software wouldn't work because the reason that they are calling is because their VPN software (their link to the network) isn't working. This isn't an issue for TeamViewer because a connection to the same network isn't needed for a connection to be established.
TightVNC, SCCM and IntelliAdmin are very good remote access software solutions for connecting to computers that are on the same network no matter if the network is spread out over the U.S. Once you go to a global scale, the programs still work but the speed is greatly reduced. This is where TeamViewer steps in and shows what a remote access tool really should do. I sound like I'm in marketing for TeamViewer but that is truly how I feel about the software.
I have not needed to contact TeamViewer support much in regards to the software not performing like it is supposed to. The only reason that we contact support is to get the license keys for our updated software. We always get a response in a very reasonable amount of time with the new license keys included.

The business functions that use TeamViewer are Sales Support, Purchasing Support, Helpdesk Support, Analyst Support, Executive Support. There are many times that TeamViewer is used for remote access support when a need arises to connect to computers that are at locations internationally. Our customers and business partners that are outside of our network also find that us having this capability is very valuable.

When supporting TeamViewer I think of what is needed to assist end users in purchasing support and sales support when it comes to the basic functionality of the software. There is not much need for them to use the more advanced functionality of the software as all they typically need to do is connect remotely to the computers of the individuals that they are assisting.
  • Connecting remotely to computers that are located in different countries: This is essentials because of the time difference that makes it difficult to have end user assistance on the foreign countries end. This software allows us to work on the computer without any interaction needed with the end user.
  • Connecting to a computer that is infected with a virus or spyware: This software allows us to remotely resolve virus issues whereas before we utilized this software all of these computers needed to be sent back to our headquarters where they could be repaired, meaning that the end user had at least 2 days of downtime.
  • Connecting to users that are outside of our network without any working method of getting connected to the network: All of our other remote access software requires the systems to be located on our network. If they are not connected to the same network a connection cannot be established. TeamViewer makes a connection possible.
  • TeamViewer makes it possible for us to connect to customers and business partners from all around the world and assist with issues on their computers related to the installation / functionality of our software. We never knew that was going to be a possibility.
  • Connecting to computers that are infected with a virus that is making the computer unusable was something that we weren't expecting. That was something that was a nice surprise.
  • With TeamViewer, eventually it may be possible and effective to allow the technical support folks to work from any location in the world because of the speed and effectiveness of TeamViewer.
We will continue to use this software because it is a great solution to our remote access needs both on our network domestically and internationally as well as outside of our network with customers and business partners. I haven't found another remote access software that would meets our needs at the same standard that TeamViewer does.
No
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
The most important factor in why we decided to purchase TeamViewer was because of the availability of a Quick Support tool which could be linked to our website and then in turn could be used to support our customers and business partners around the world. This was the main concern and why we were looking for a new remote support solution. The rest of the great features we discovered after using the software.
I don't believe that I would change anything regarding the evaluation / selection process that we went through except maybe just going ahead with the purchase and integration sooner. As much as this software has improved our customer service and increased our efficiency, the cost of the software is out of the question. It is well worth every penny.
  • Self-taught
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.
The software was fairly easy to understand and learn while on the job without proper training. Learning the different features on my own made it interesting and more rewarding. It didn't take long to learn the ins and outs of the software since I use it so frequently. I would recommend this approach to others because you don't need to spend money on training for this software if you have any background / knowledge or remote tools at all.
I was having trouble with two remote systems taking the same ID so when I would try to connect to one of the computers it would connect to one or the other. This was an issue that I reported and they had already seen the issue and knew how to fix it. They had me up and running again on both systems within a half hour.
  • Initiating connection with computer: All you need to do is have the ID and password of the computer / device that you're attempting to connect to and you're in. There is nothing complex or complicated about that process. Very easy for a person with any computer knowledge.
  • File Transfers: File transfers are very easy to initiate. All you need to do is drag and drop a file or folder from your computer onto the screen that you're connected to and the transfer process initiates automatically.
  • Connecting to multiple screens: The process of connecting to multiple screens is very easy. On the top bar in the screen that you're connected to there are many options. With one click you can switch between multiple screens or view the entire desktop at the same time.
  • Keeping all computers in your account up to date: When you create an account in TeamViewer to save all of your connections, there currently is no way to perform a remote update to the remote computers TeamViewer software. You must connect to the computer and perform a manual update. This adds difficulty.
  • When setting a password on the remote computer it is a bit cumbersome when the user on the remote system is not an administrator on the computer because you need to log off of the system, log in as the administrator on the computer, add the user as an administrator and log back in as the user just to allow TeamViewer to start up during the start up of Windows and use a static password which you can set on the connection account. It takes a few steps to get it to work nicely in this situation but I haven't run into it too many times.
  • I have run into an issue when doing a manual update on a computer where the software doesn't properly perform the update and then it throws errors constantly. When this happens I try running the update again as another user that is an administrator on the computer, I try uninstalling the software completely and removing all files from Program Files. Nothing seems to correct the issue. This has maybe happened 5 times since I started using the software so it isn't a big concern.
Yes
I have used the mobile interface both on my Android phone and on my iPad. The interface works well on both devices. What I would like to see on both of them is rather than the cursor being something that you control like a mouse with your finger it would be nice if the cursor would be right under your finger and where you tap is where the mouse would be and would select what your finger is on. I think that would increase the efficiency of using the interface. The speed is great on the Android no matter if you're wireless or on the mobile network.
TeamViewer is a system that is very easy to understand and grasp the concept of which is a very nice thing because users that don't have much technology and computer background can use the system easily. While being easy to understand for the average user, it doesn't lose the functionality and features that IT people love to see with software that makes it easier for us to do our jobs.
