Find out what your peers are saying about TeamViewer, Microsoft, Citrix and others in Remote Access."It is quite simple to set up."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"From my perspective, the most important is the login."
"This is a unique solution that is very easy to install."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is user-friendliness."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"TeamViewer is stable."
"The most valuable features are that it is consistently low profile and consistently works without hiccups or headaches."
"I don’t see any areas where improvement is needed."
"One thing I have noticed is that TeamViewer does not work so well when the machine you are trying to connect to remotely is not running the same version as your machine."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"If they could figure out a little better solution for the iOS stuff other than just a screen share, even though it's an Apple thing, and Apple doesn't like to give up control of their devices. If they ever got to that point, and I could manipulate an iPad or iPhone, that would be awesome. Since we have a bunch of iPad users who are struggling with doing different things, it would be nice to be able to just jump on and actually show them, "Here, do this, this, and this." Similar to what we do with the laptops, e.g. for training."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"They should release features such as Augmented Reality into both plain and standard versions of TeamViewer."
"Sometimes we'll have a device in the field, and I'll click on remote control and it says "Can't authenticate." I'll double click in a different part of the TeamViewer interface and it'll say "Can't authenticate." Then I'll do it a third time and it connects. It's possible that it's just bad luck. It's also very possible that it's some bug within TeamViewer..."
"I am not sure about all the features of TeamViewer, but if they have no voice communication or file transfer features they should add them."
"We occasionally have issues with the graphic software of the interface."
