"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote control a computer system. Overall it is a complete solution."

"It is quite simple to set up."
"It is a scalable product."
"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone."
"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."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"The solution could have better scalability."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"Every now and then you'll get a silent crash and you relaunch the application. But it happens no more than with anything else in the Windows environment."
"It would be useful if the solution could facilitate more than one remote user accessing my desktop at a time."
