"TeamViewer is useful for accessing data and systems remotely. Using this application, I can access other computers using an ID number that I provide to the users whose laptop I would like to access."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"I am satisfied with TeamViewer, and its performance."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
"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."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"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."
"Voice communication and screen communication or face-to-face communication could be improved."
"TeamViewer could improve by adding support for other operating systems, such as Linux and CAKE."
"Sometimes it lags."
"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."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
