TeamViewer provides software for both remote management and online collaborations. With TeamViewer, users have access to fully integrated online conference solutions for audio and video communication, including interactive screen sharing and remote access features.
I use TeamViewer because the sharing screen feature of Skype is buggy. Also, sometimes I need to remote control my partners' screen to fix some issues they have when developing some code (HTML, PHP or JavaScript).

Even though Google has a very big brand name and wide presence among users, Skype still has many advantages over Google Hangouts. The audio and video quality provided by Skype is far ahead of its competitors. It works smoothly at low bandwidth also, and its screen sharing …

With regards to the above mentioned software, Teamviewer is not free, at least not for business use. This is where UltraViewer comes into light. It is not an instant messaging solution like Skype for Business and has more or less the same features as WebEx. Teamviewer works …
Skype for Business is perfect for calls and chat, but TeamViewer is better for remote control access. Zoom is great for conference calls, especially if you have less internet bandwidth or a less powerful computer. Zoom is light weight compare to TeamViewer but doesn't have as …
Basic screen sharing and desktop control via Skype for Business has been used in the past and for the most part, does achieve the desired result. In addition, as the helpdesk operator is already speaking to you over Skype voice and instant messaging, it means the wider …
I’ve used GoToAssist and in my experience GoToAssist is better for the end-user experience. Skype for Business is better for meetings but that is kind of out of scope for TeamViewer. VNC is best for inside the organization.
As an alternate collaboration toot one can use Skype with its screen sharing functionality and it also provides the ability to hand over control to another user although we have not used this functionality. However, it does seem that TeamViewer is more aimed towards a host …
TeamViewer is unique that is allows you access content. similarly to Splashtop which allows for the same qaaccessibiity and content.

Really the closest thing is Zoom. Zoom doesn't have nearly the level of security of TeamViewer, and generally, all of Zoom's features were lower quality. Worse screen-share/remote control, file sharing was not secure, poor audio quality. It was generally just unattractive …
Over the years, Teamviewer has gotten pricier and more complicated to setup/use. We have found Splathtop so much easier and more cost effective, while not compromising features and speed.
We directly choose TeamViewer after looking at the pros and cons of other similar software and TeamViewer won hands down. Primarily because it is an out-of-the-box solution that does not require complicated or confusing configuration - as we do not have a company IT team. It is …
VNC was the first remote support software that we have used. It was great in it time but has not kept up with modern technological changes. Teamviewer surpasses VNC in every way except price. Teamviewer have a wider client adaptability, stronger more stable host and client …
We did not use another tool for this purpose, as we already knew the particular version, we made the decision to deploy the commercial version by offering us more resources and support.
So far TeamViewer is my preferred, go to software for this particular need. Zoom isn't bad, but it is laggy in comparison. However, it has the chat feature and ability to multi-conference with many people at once. To my knowledge, TeamViewer can only connect one person to one …
In my opinion, TeamViewer is the best FREE remote desktop control available. But we are using Lync as a primary tool for communication. Overall, TeamViewer is the best because of the tiers and ease of use.
