Advantages and disadvantages of TeamViewer

Advantages:

One of the biggest benefits of using TeamViewer is its cross-platform capabilities. Where some remote access applications are missing devices such as macOS support, TeamViewer does not. They even provide Linux compatibility for remote computers without a graphical user interface (GUI) attached, as long as a Linux text console is connected.

TeamViewer excels with security measures. TeamViewer uses AES-256-bit encryption and two-factor authentication. The software is HIPAA compliant, SOC 2 certified, and ISO 27001 certified. Remote data backup and secure end-to-end remote device monitoring; the software looks for unusual behavior, such as access from a new location, and protects data by enforcing password resets.

Defect:

Many of the remote access apps we've reviewed have limits of 2GB or less when transferring files to another computer. TeamViewer has no stated file size limit. If you're transferring a large file and don't want to deal with the delay, you can split the file and load it into the transfer queue.

The second drawback is the additional cost of the software's portable features. While TeamViewer offers mobile compatibility across a wide range of devices, it doesn't come with standard plans. You pay an annual fee, and the number of cell phone plans you purchase should be directly correlated with the number of concurrent sessions you have. Android control is standard, but iOS features are limited.

Third, we were very disappointed with the maximum number of sessions allowed by the software. TeamViewer's team plan allows for 3 sessions. If a large number of concurrent sessions are required; For example, your team conducts training demos or tutorials, you can spend quite a bit of money to fulfill the demand.

Upgrading the software is as simple as contacting the online store or sales team, but downsizing can be more difficult. Cancellation must be in the form of a written request and must be received by TeamViewer no less than 28 days before the end of the original term or any renewal terms.

Easy to use

Installing TeamViewer is simple on all platforms. You can use the web- based link to install the application or there are other options available to install the software. Once the web-based program is opened or properly installed on both the server and the administrative computer, the program automatically generates a server-side password, which is shared with the administrator. This password can be changed at any time. In addition, the program administrator has the ability to create a password to enable reverse sharing, meaning that customers can remotely access the administrative computer if needed. These communication and security features simplify remote access between devices.

The connection process for the TeamViewer mobile app is similar: Personally download the TeamViewer QuickSupport app onto the device, providing you with your TeamViewer ID, and your remote session begins.

In addition to connecting to other computers, TeamViewer also provides integration with other hardware and software. Integrate internal software, such as TeamViewer Reporting API, TeamViewer User Management, and TeamViewer Chat Widget, or external platforms, such as Ninja, Salesforce and Jira Software, among others. This capability, along with TeamViewer's cross-platform security, communication, and access, makes TeamViewer a powerful remote access application for your business.
