Overall Satisfaction with TeamViewer

Easy to implement.
We use TeamViewer for both remote acces/ support and server backups. We are big fans of the remote access and support, however we have had some frustrating experiences with TeamViewer backup, and the vendor support of the product. Remote connections work well and that is internally a preferred solution to connect both within the organizational infrastructure and externally to our devices that may be on other networks. The backup solution has failed to initiate several times and we never made any headway with the vendor on a root cause analysis of why it would fail to trigger or store backups.


  • Remote desktop connection
  • Access across known, internal networks
  • Access across unknown, external networks
  • TeamViewer backup has not lived up to expectations
  • Backups fail to generate
  • Intermittent difficulty accessing backups
  • Frustrating support with TeamViewer backup
  • Significant utility accessing multiple operating systems
  • Significant utility accessing in-network devices
  • Significant utility accessing off-network devices
We had an immediate benefit from adopting remote access software to streamline support.
Having a unified experience across operating systems and versions of operating systems has been helpful.

We absolutely benefit from the robust additional security, authentication and compliance.
TeamViewer has multiple solutions, across various roles. We are quite happy 10/10 with their bread and butter remote access product. However we have been frustrated with TeamViewer backup 5/10. Overall that puts us around a 7/10, but I stress that you read this review closely because product offerings have expanded. We've also grown from a small to medium sized business and continue to use the product.
