Pros:
Elegant interface for both remote access and net conferencing; Easily manage contacts; Single purchase, rather than subscription based
Cons:
Expensive; Whiteboard tools only available to presenters
Verdict:
If your business depends on a number of remote workers, TeamViewer 9 is a practical and elegant tool to help remotely manage PCs and facilitate meetings, despite its high cost.
TeamViewer 9 is designed to allow IT admins to remotely control PCs for support purposes and employees to hold virtual meetings. Rivals in the remote desktop arena include LogMeIn and GoToMyPC, but TeamViewer competes with them thanks to its comprehensive feature set. The software also has a fixed pricing model, cross-platform desktop applications, and provides the ability to control your computers remotely from any Android, iOS or Windows Phone 8 device.
The latest version of the software makes it possible to open multiple remote connections in different tabs and copy and paste files using the clipboard when transferring content between your local and remote system. Users can also Wake-on-LAN, and there’s an API to help businesses integrate TeamViewer deeper into their systems.
Interface
You'll need to have the TeamViewer client setup on every system you want to remote control or invite to participate in a meeting. During installation, you're also given the option of TeamViewer’s VPN and remote printing features. The VPN is useful if you need access to the remote system's network as well as the PC itself.
