Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer

TeamViewer is used by our Technical Support Team to assist our customers with remotely configuring our hardware. Sometimes our customers have issues with their networks and our devices on their networks so we need to connect remotely to resolve these situations. TeamViewer allows us to connect remotely and diagnose issues quickly.
  • Remote Connection
  • IT Support
  • Fast Resolution
  • Easier chat functionality
  • Less perception from some customers as malware
  • Not having to replace items due to fixing issues remotely
  • Being able to assist with installations of hardware remotely
Immediately. We were able to assist customers faster than we had in the past.
Chime seems more like a text chatting platform than a remote session platform. Microsoft Teams seems better streamlined, but it feels very memory heavy and I've seen it lag. Webex seems slightly better, but is very clunky and has a less than stellar User experience. It seems cheap at times.

We made a purchase, and they gave us a number of licenses. Very simple to use after that.
While we know of these features, most are not used.
TeamViewer is perfect for assisting customers if you are a business that has hardware on a customers network. Sometimes issues come up and instead of processing a return immediately, a remote session can quickly resolve an issue and lead to a happy customer experience. TeamViewer is not ideal when a customer is having support issues related to things like log in credentials, confidential banking information, or troubleshooting for handheld devices
