Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer
This is for personal use. I use it to manage my computers at home and provide free remote support to my family members that are not in driving sitance from myself. Mostly I use this for my headl-less units within my home that its easier to have them just in the network in my network cabinet. Also, when my older mother calls for help, I can remote into her laptop to help her resolve her issues.
- Remote Connection
- File Transfer
- stable connection
- ease of use
- I would like them to stop changing the UI. For an IT Professional, changing the UI every time, it makes things harder to find and adds unneccesay time to a repair.
- Positive: I am able to give my mom and other familyu instant support without having to make them wait till I visit or making a special trip (driving 2+ hrs) to help resolve.
- Negative: As a personal user, my account will often get confused with being a commercial account because I will sometimes assist from a place with business class internet. I have had to explain to them twice that I am a personal user.
- Positive: It has saved me from having to buy add'l hardware to supporet my home lab / equipment. It also helps with that power bill as well - not having to run a monitor for wach unit.
It was immediate when I needed to help my family with issues where, without Teamviewer, I would have had to drive the 2+ hours (fuel and tolls) to reach them to resolve a massive (to them) issue.
LogMeIn did away with thier free accounts when they said the wouldnt. So, Teamviewer got to fill those shoes, and it has done so very well.
