Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer

The technical support team uses TeamViewer to remotely support customers who use our computer-based solutions, and to gather evidence for bugs and issues they are encountering. Obviously, directly viewing the problems with the ability to teach customers remotely is a lot better than just pure phone support. TV makes it easy by making the networking and setup portion of remote support as frictionless as possible.
  • Easy setup for users
  • Persistent app for repeated remote connections
  • Ability to save connections to remote workstations excellent for contract customers who repeatedly will want you to access their systems
  • The administrative backend is a bit difficult to understand
  • Hard to understand from an administrator standpoint how to get the value out of billing hours, sessions, and so forth for your agents
  • Shorten support calls drastically where remote control is possible
  • Customers are less frustrated
  • Customers learn better by showing vs. telling.
Remote control and support are the strong points. But for things like presentations and more "webex" type show-and-tell usage, TV is too complicated with the setup of the utilities and supporting applications. The VPN and file transfer services are a nice advantage over competitors like gotomeeting and others like it.
