Pros
There was a good amount of integration that is available. I loved the google docs integration and the fact that we could more easily keep on top of tasks as a team.
I like that I can help somebody remotely by using this app. It's an amazing software invention for solving technical issues people may encounter.
Being easy, efficient and fast to use means that my customer experience using this software is positive and I would encourage all technical people to have this application for ease of doing business.
Increased efficiency in resolving customer queries as I just login to their environment with teamviewer and quickly resolve their issues.
Cons
Sometimes it stops functioning or lags especially if you maintain the connection for a very long time. You need to disconnect and establish a new connection to make it start working again.
However, compatibility issues and internet connection problems could affect your experience.
Connectivity affects the flow of work, if network is bad no work can be done.
I tried to setup Remote desktop in my windows 7 and I failed. But after install Teamviewer, I get the same service in a few minutes.

"Covid-19 Life saver for remote support service "
Overall: Makes life easy when supporting users working from home, especially during the covid-19 pandemic
Pros: makes remote connection easy, the password protection makes it more perfect for a remote support service where, remote devices can not just be connected to without authentication via pass codeAlso, making password renewable is awesome
Cons: The only issue i had with team viewer is when I can't type in the local admin credentials when supporting users remotely at times.
"An indispensable tool for providing practical support remotely"
Overall: TeamViewer made it easy for my team to assist each other remotely. Our digital news team can use TeamViewer to help a colleague perform a task, which translates to improved productivity. You don't have to be in the same room to help a colleague install software or complete a task; you can do it from wherever you are using TeamViewer.
Pros: I like TeamViewer because I can access any device remotely regardless of the location securely. All I need is an ID and password to access the computers used by a co-worker and perform tasks as they watch on their devices. It is so easy to access and use another computer when both of you have a reliable internet connection.
Cons: Sometimes it stops scrolling the remote computer or is unresponsive, which indicates a compatibility problem or internet connection issues. I also feel that someone could access sensitive data on the remote computer during the remote support session. I'd appreciate it if TeamViewer had a way to limit access to certain files and require a separate password for other files.
"Team Viewer"
Overall: so far it has been very easy and is effective for our purposes of running meetings remotely
Pros: once set up it is easy to use and quick.
Cons: it sometimes says that the receiving computer is not connected to teamviewer when the settings have not changed. I have not been able to find an explanation for this
"Great all in one software for remote access"
Overall: TeamViewer is one of the most popular remote access programs not without a reason. It combines simplicity of use with great functionality. It is certainly software designed for both large enterprises and private clients who need applications for remote control for their own use.
Pros: TeamViewer is an all-in-one software that allows you to access another computer remotely. I find it very helpful with technical support, communication, collaboration or just information exchange. One tool allows you to work from a single room without wasting time and money on traveling. If I had to compare TeamViewer to other programs of this type, its main advantage is the lack of additional network configuration: we can provide remote assistance to someone connected to the Internet through NAT, and the only thing that the client must do is enable the QuickSupport module and provide us with the ID and password. Simple operation makes it an ideal tool for remote assistance and maintenance of remote computer workstations without the need for physical contact. I can just concentrate on my work, not on preparing for it. With this software I can solve problems remotely or communicate with clients and colleagues without complicated procedures and tedious preparations. TeamViewer has been designed to start working on any device in a few seconds and this is its great advantage.
Cons: There are however few disadvantages that can be quite annoying sometimes, such as the incoming menu of the presenter on the image transmitted to the participants or a poor drawing menu . Another disadvantage of this program is the small number of people who can meet in a virtual TeamViewer room at the same time.
"Reliable Tool for Remote Access "
Overall: Teamviewer allows me to guide my team from wherever they are by accessing their devices remotely. It is relatively stable and gives users on each end a chance to control the device. However, you might experience compatibility problems.
Pros: Teamviwer is quite responsive even when you have a slow internet connection. It is easy to use even for people who are not tech savvy. Most new team members don't experience any challenges when they need my remote guidance using Teamviewer. I also like it because it gives the remote user a pointer and a cursor to perform any task on the remote device.
Cons: We noticed a compatibility problem between some devices but reinstalling the latest version solved the problem. I also feel that it offers limited customization features. You cannot change the background or improve its appearance or overall design.
"Best Remote Control"
Overall: Overall good software and very helpful and useful for everyone and at last but not least it is the best remote control.
Pros: Team viewer is the great software it allows you to control another computer from your computer only. Team viewer is the best remote control and also it has many features like it has the ability to share your files to another device.
Cons: The only one bad thing about this software is that its price is too high for small business mans and also there is no subscription based plans and also requires high speed of internet otherwise it crashes sometimes.
"Best Remote control Technology"
Overall: We run various projects with diverse teams located far off from each other. The remote control ability makes it easy to be in all that place at the same place and control the output or various work-related activities.
Pros: It is very easy to set up on any device, no much hustle to access too from any kind of device. Sharing of various files to other devices is one of the best features that I like. The remote control ability makes it possible for me to work at various places at literally the same time which makes it awesome in my job management.
Cons: Problematic on setting up in PC running on windows 7 OS. Tried severally but all failed. Quite expensive to purchase and install especially for small businesses. It has a limited number of people who can meet up hence limitation when it comes to large meetings.
"Easy remote control"
Pros: Easy to use, It has free versions for limited use too
Cons: I tried to setup Remote desktop in my windows 7 and I failed. But after install Teamviewer, I get the same service in a few minutes.
"User friendly and collaborative"
Pros: It's easy to use. No initial training required, everything is pretty much self explanatory
Cons: Nothing that I came across till now in my 2 years of usage .
"Best in remote control, Easy to access from any type of device "
Overall: TeamViewer is a reliable tool for complete remote access to other computers, but it is more expensive than other options
Pros: Available for Android, Windows, Linux based platforms. A popular remote access software platform.
Cons: Business Plans are costly. Free for personal use only. Commercial uses are chargeable.
"Teamviewer Usage Review"
Overall: 1) Increased efficiency in resolving customer queries as I just login to their environment with teamviewer and quickly resolve their issues. 2) Quick turn around time to customer support as its real time and live via remote connection. 3) Ability to implement and train customers remotely without having to be on-site and this has reduced immensely the cost of support fees charged to the customer. 4) TeamViewer allows for global partnerships to happen with anyone around the world as you can share ideas, solutions via the platform. There are no more barriers to the reach of solutions. 5) Being easy, efficient and fast to use means that my customer experience using this software is positive and I would encourage all technical people to have this application for ease of doing business. 6) It has made our selling point stronger when it comes to support in that we tell our clients that support can happen real time and all they have to do is downaload Teamviewer and we handle the rest. 7) All these efficiencies the software has brought about has led to increased customer satisfaction from our clients and increased business.
Pros: 1) Easy to locate on google search and the website is clear on how to download it. You just run the executable file and the installation takes care of the rest. 2) After installation setting up is quite easy and then you are on your way. Customer feel and experience when using it is very efficient and easy. 3) You can also now remotely connect to even android devices or control another Teamviewer active machine using your Android device. 4) The multiple user access to one device is a plus as support personnel can troubleshoot real time to one device thereby creating increased efficiency. 5) The simplicity of the file transfer menu and the efficiency when transferring is also a plus to the software. The software notifies you of the status in terms of percentage of the file transfer progress. 6) The live chat function is also a great tool as users connected can now be chatting live as they are connected. Easily accessible on the top tab, one click the chat bar opens and you are able to start chatting. 7) It is cost effective as it saves support personnel on would be trips that they would have to go to do on-site support, now with just a remote connection you can easily troubleshoot and resolve customers issue and this I believe is one of this software's biggest advantage. This overally saves on time and cost associated with would be on-site support was this app not available. 8) The free version is also as its a good marketing tool.
Cons: 1) When accessing it on mobile devices the resolution tends to not be up to scratch. Hovering around when using the android device becomes an issue as there is the use of the mouse to manoeuvre and access whereas on the android screen it will be a touch screen. 2) Security is limited as anyone who has access to your device can easily then logon to the application and play around with it. Recommendation would be to have an option to login to the software before it allows you to proceed. This can be a configuration the user can then activate or de-activate. 3) The error messages for a layman using the software are not so user friendly and usually they end up having to seek assistance. The error messages when connecting are the ones that are usually not user friendly.
"Effective solution for realtime remote assistance"
Overall: We use TeamViewer to connect with our clients or my team away from the workplace when they need help with web design projects. TeamViewer allows them to watch me perform the task in question from the comfort of my home or office. Anyone can install TeamViewer and it is easy to connect securely and solve the problem at hand. However, compatibility issues and internet connection problems could affect your experience.
Pros: As a web designer, sometimes I have to guide our clients or fellow web designers on how to perform a task, install a plugin, customize a website, troubleshoot, or publish content. TeamViewer helps me connect with people remotely and guide every step as they watch from their end. I also like that TeamViewer is easy to download, install, and connect with other devices. You can use it on devices with Windows or iOS, which is quite convenient.
Cons: Both devices must have the latest version of TeamViewer to connect seamlessly. Otherwise, you might experience compatibility challenges. Besides, TeamViewer cannot work without a stable internet connection. Therefore, your experience largely depends on the stability of the connection on both ends. It largely relies on visual assistance or guidance and may not be ideal for sessions or complicated trainings.
"Great Tool to Access and Use Devices Remotely"
Overall: TeamViewer allows us to guide our clients upload content to their websites. Since most of our clients are new website owners, TeamViewer helps us guide them until they get used to the whole process. Reinstalling the software eliminates any compatibility issues and make remote support seamless.
Pros: I like the security features such that only the authorized person can access a device remotely. I use Teamviwer to teach my clients how to upload content, edit photos, install extensions on their websites or do such technical tasks remotely.
