"The product is easy to install."

"Our computers are spread amongst six physical locations. TeamViewer reduces the need to travel to those offices to help staff."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ease of connecting to remote computers. I do not need a lot of information about their computers to connect, a nontechnical person can give me the information needed for me to connect. Additionally, the solution does not gather other system information about the host or client's systems as other solutions might, such as AnyDesk."
"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
"Sometimes it lags."
"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."

"I would like to see something like a TeamViewer mobile application for iOS or possibly Android. I think this would be fantastic given how technology is evolving today. It would be beneficial to use it with your smartphone."
"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."
"It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows."
"This solution could be improved by offering more flexibility in terms of usage."
"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
