Heiko Humpert - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We also use it a lot for remote site assistance. We've set up our internal authentication for unattended access to our remote sites. That makes it very easy and convenient to remotely connect with our users and our client machines whenever we need to. It's set as a direct, secure connection. As long as the station has internet access, we can see it and it makes remote support very simple."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."
"The TeamViewer system has some built-in security. The TeamViewer client connects to the TeamViewer host securely. Only a certain number of authorized users on our side have access to the system. Even within that, an individual endpoint can be assigned to a group, where not everybody has access but, rather, just one or two people who are part of a support team might have access to that particular device. So TeamViewer has given us tools to be able to segregate who has access to different things."
"I am satisfied with TeamViewer, and its performance."
"The most valuable features of I use TeamViewer are the ease of access and frequent updates."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the ability for administrators to lock the remote systems, simple connections, and easy login access."
"It is quite simple to set up."
"One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Webex is easy to use, even for people who are just learning it."
"The best feature is to be able to share the screen or just some application we want, even a video or audio, then request the remote control of the device with which they have connected."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The product saves time and money."
"I have found Webex to be stable."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around stability and performance."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's pretty limited on the options they have."
"I'm not sure if they provide good quality audio alongside screensharing."
"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."
"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..."
"TeamViewer could improve by having support for other operating systems, such as Linux."
"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 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."
"The interface of Webex should be improved and it is difficult to find information."
"I think Webex could be improved by simplifying the process. For instance, they could make it easier to join meetings by providing a direct meeting link without requiring sign-ups or logins. While security is important, finding a balance with user-friendliness is key."
"The solution is heavy and slow."
"The base application uses a lot of resources. They could work on the performance of the application so that it's less heavy."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the chat history and search functionality in Webex, making it easier to find past conversations and commands by keywords."
"The product needs to improve its integration. I'm not sure how difficult it is for the IT team to set up the integration. Once set up, it's easy but still not as straightforward as other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, where everything is within the same technical environment. To ensure further security, face authentication should also be added for all internal corporate users logged into the platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TeamViewer's price is cheaper than some other similar solutions. We have licenses for our users."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"We use the free version of TeamViewer."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"We're using the free version. We do not pay any licensing fees."
"The tool's licensing is expensive, but it should be cheaper."
"I use the solution for free because I don't use the solution's enterprise version."
"This is an expensive product compared to Teams and it should be cheaper."
"I am not aware of the pricing details."
"The tool is expensive."
"Price is the one area where Webex needs to improve relative to its competitors. It's difficult to sell to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) because of the license price."
"I am using the free version of Webex."
"Licensing is subscription-based and the cost varies depending on how many minutes are included in the plan."
