Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer
We used TeamViewer as our primary way to support users across the enterprise. Many sites did not have local IT staff and many work on the road. TeamViewer enabled our ability to remotely administer PCs and support users regardless of where they were in the world. Its chat features allowed us to interact with them as well and its monitoring features allowed us to know which systems were at risk (disk space low, firewall off, etc.).
- Remote administration
- Ease of deployment
- Options like remote printing and ad-hoc VPN are quite helpful
- Fewer ads; when you pay for something you shouldn't keep seeing ads when closing sessions.
- More control over what machines should raise what alerts would be nice, especially without additional licensing.
- A cheaper license for home users to remote into at-work desktops without having every feature techs get would be nice too.
- For Nelipak, it was literally required to have something like this; going without was not an option.
- The ability to give vendors access to key equipment saved airfare and in-person hourly rates, literally thousands of dollars an instance.
- It especially made our remote workers feel closer to the IT department, as they could initiate a chat with us at any time.
Nelipak had a pre-existing relationship with TeamViewer, so it was a no-brainer. I also use TeamViewer in my personal IT consulting practice exclusively. AnyDesk is a close second; it's founded by former TeamViewer folks, so that isn't surprising. My current job uses Dameware Remote Everywhere because of other SolarWinds products in use for helpdesk, so integration was easier than migrating the whole company. I still use TeamViewer for employees at home--a big thing last year with COVID forcing many folks to use their home computers for work. It's just easier to tell them to go to TeamViewer.com and download it there than have to bring their computers in or trust some installer we send them. Being an established brand with their own site was key for home users to trust it even on their old Macs.
