Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer

I installed all my relatives so that I could quickly fix the computer. Convenient, even my mother uses it.
Helps remotely (from the phone and home PC) to perform various tasks that can be performed only on the work computer.

Sometimes my colleagues go into difficulties and then I can help them.

Allows you to restart the applications on a working computer that is always on, but there are errors due to an unstable Internet connection
  • Free, easy to use and install
  • The sound is transmitted along with the image, the ability to transfer files
  • Russian interface
  • Saving settings for each remote PC
  • Simple and convenient interface
  • Mobile version is very demanding to the Internet, the price for the latest version could be a little lower
  • You need to know the password (which is constantly changing) to gain access
  • Dependence on connection speed and computer power.
  • Long file transfer, no rights in someone else's PC.
  • High license price for corporate users
  • This allows you not to have a permanent system administrator on your staff, but use a remote employee. This reduces costs
  • Remote access allows you to reduce the time for logistics, if you unexpectedly need files from your desktop computer
This is a completely new level. Security of the connection and use of the attacker is not possible to benefit from access to your PC, if you did not give the access codes.
A well-designed interface and usage scenarios: switching between screens, optimized the speed of the client and server. Access from one application. Quick Setup.
I constantly use the free version (for non-commercial use) of Teamviewer. I render remote assistance to friends and acquaintances. Updates come out very often. The program works even with a weak Internet, albeit very slowly, but there is access. Main functions: remote control of your computer, friends, acquaintances (if you need to help them), file transfer. It is necessary that Teamviewer be installed on both your computer and your remote computer. At least the version of Teamviewer Quick Support is remote. You need to know the client ID and password. If the password can not be transmitted in some way or can not be accessed, you can request remote control with a confirmation request (there are cases when a person does not understand computers at all). You can configure uncontrolled access to log in with your password if you have to often help, for example. Remote management means leaving the desktop of a remote computer, after which you can work on it almost as well as on your keyboard and mouse. There are functions - play sound from a remote computer, you can turn on chat, audiochat, conference.
