Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer

We use TeamViewer to help our customers with technical support issues, training, and problem-solving. We also use this internally to assist our sales team in getting their demo equipment set up for independent use. Sometimes, our customers do not have the technical chops to get through the configuration of their equipment or are having trouble with a feature that our technical support staff is able to assist with. Likewise, our sales teams are focused more on account management than the technical aspects of the gear, so being able to help remotely is a huge time saver.
  • Screen sharing.
  • File transfer.
  • Secure connections.
  • Remote audio transmission.
  • Slightly laggy sometimes.
  • Don't like the lockout feature after multiple attempts.
  • Audio sourcing is confusing sometimes.
  • Saves thousands of dollars in travel costs from not having to go to a remote site.
  • Saves hundreds of hours of phone time because the technical support staff can see what the end user is seeing.
  • Improves the customer experience by more quickly bringing the issues to resolution.
It's used daily, so I'd say right away.
We use teams as our main communication and collab tool, but the "take control" feature isn't as robust as TeamViewer's full package offering. TeamViewer has much more to offer users who aren't part of our organization and/or don't have devices that are up to the security standards that our organization mandates.

Do you think TeamViewer delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with TeamViewer's feature set?

Yes

Did TeamViewer live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of TeamViewer go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy TeamViewer again?

Yes

I was not involved in the implementation of TeamViewer, but I've installed the software on several of my devices, and each time it goes without issue. 10/10.
I'm uncertain as to how these features get implemented or if they get implemented in our organization.
It is well suited for tech support when someone is in the office or call center, and the person being helped is in the field with an internet connection on a laptop with updated software. When the remote user doesn't have a stable internet connection or when they are tethering/hot spotting a phone, it's less ideal.
