TeamViewer

What differentiates TeamViewer from other similar products?

I was able to permanently monitor dozens of remote employees and external partners of the organization using this simple but incredibly beneficial application. It allows you to attend to another workstation immediately without having to travel to where you are.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is easy to use and has no latency, delays or interruptions. It provides encrypted connections, which guarantees the privacy of our data. I can manage multiple virtual machines and gadgets simultaneously as it is cross-platform.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I have no complaints about this software.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This software is excellent for enabling remote work and enhancing other workplace collaboration solutions, so I highly suggest it.

What differentiates TeamViewer from other similar products?

The most important difference with respect to other solutions, with a special focus on proper tools from operating systems, is the possibility of using TeamViewer in any operating system. In fact, you can install it on Linux, Mac, or Windows, and connect from any other system. With other solutions, such as VNC, you may need to perform a more complex installation or set up the tool with special features. Besides, it gives you full control of the system instead of opening a new session. On the other hand, you do not need to add a special rule to the firewall, since most of the firewalls recognize TeamViewer.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is very easy to use it. You only have to install the product on the computers where you want to use it, open it and you can use it without problems. Moreover, I love the possibility of using the tool with different operating systems, since I may need to control different machines with different installations. You can also establish a general password and connect to a machine no matter if the machine has been rebooted. I love the fact of using the mouse as if I were in front of the machine. Another good feature is the possibility of copying and pasting text between machines using TeamViewer.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I have not been able to configure the tool using the command line in Linux. I have tried to use it several times in order to set up a general password, but this feature did not work for me. I have to go to the remote computer and set up the password. That is, I could not configure the tool remotely. On the other hand, TeamViewer allows you to use the tool for free for some time. But, if the tool detects that you are using it too much, then you can only open a session for a limited time. Sometimes, I have almost not used the tool, but I found that limitation. So, the tool should clearly warn you about the criteria used for such limitations

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend setting up a fixed password in the first use of the application. Besides, the user should enable the tool to open when the remote system is started. Thus, you can connect to the remote system using the tool even if the system has been rebooted. Otherwise, TeamViewer uses a new password at each system restart. Please, remember using a secure password. I also recommend using TeamViewer with a good internet connection. Since the tool is using a lot of data, you may experience some difficulties when using the mouse and the remote desktop with slow connections or if you are using other applications demanding the network.

What differentiates TeamViewer from other similar products?
