Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer
I often travel for work and a consistent challenge I would face (if not for TeamViewer) is that my work and productivity would be split between multiple computers when I worked off site or from home. TeamViewer gives me a very acceptable solution to that problem. I have this running on both my work computer and my MacBook which I use when I travel. There are times when I absolutely need access to my work PC when I am travelling and I love that I can reliably depend on having access to it thanks to TeamViewer. All I have to do is to launch the application and select my PC and I am immediately connected to it with full access letting me use my local files and software that only work on our Intranet.
- It works without needing someone to be there to connect you to the PC.
- It works across platforms. I use it on a MacBook and a Windows PC and it works between both absolutely flawlessly.
- It is very high quality and I can't remember the last time I had a problem with it.
- It also launches automatically so even if one of my computers get restarted, I can still count on it being active to get me access.
- It can be a little difficult to use if I am working off a slow internet connection (doesn't work so well with Starbucks Wifi).
- It increases individual productivity since as long as you have an internet connection, it is as good as being in the office.
- Allows access to your local files and intranet software.
- ConnectWise Control (formerly ScreenConnect)
TeamViewer is probably more dependable than the other software I tried. I had some issues with all the alternatives I tested but TeamViewer ran the best with almost no issues. I also liked that the free version can act as a trial if you are looking to test things out. It is a little bit more expensive than the alternatives though but you are paying for excellent quality and that money is worth it.
