TeamViewer - The Easy and Secure Remote Access Software of Choice
Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer
TeamViewer is used to allow access to systems that we don't want or can't have open the usual ports for RDP or another built-in application for gaining remote access to systems. In this time of pandemic and working [remotely] at home or another location it is imperative to be able to access applications and systems remotely, but securely and with little hassle.
Pros
- Remote access to servers with an at terminal like experience
- Easy access to multiple systems with little setup and hassle
- Secure communication with multifactor authentication
Cons
- The interface can be a little confusing to start with, but a little invested time overcomes this
- Better organization for using with multiple systems
- It is a solid program with few faults I can think of
- Remote access is crucial for remote management in our business
- Time savings from having access to multiple servers at once
- Multi-user support sessions is a game changer
Honestly, we use both products, but for those instances where we do not have a VPN tunnel to our remote sites or datacenters, TeamViewer is a great option for remote access. The product offering is well developed, mature, and had a large host of features that makes it a program that I love using.

The agent install is clean and easy to implement. It would be nice to not have an agent that has to be installed on the target machine, but in order to offer encryption and data security, it is a small price to pay to have the peace of mind that brings. For times when other remote access software just doesn't cut it, I know I can turn to TeamViewer in a pinch and I like using the software.
We require the highest level of security in our systems and remote access. The high level of security and MFA offered by TeamViewer is one of the big reasons that it works for our organization. The certifications and high attention to the best security practices made the decision easy on using TeamViewer for our remote access needs.
