- Remote access to client laptops
- File sharing between internal team and external clients.
- Session recording and reporting for analysis purposes.
Cons
- There is no chat feature while using TeamViewer
- Virus scanning is not provided while file sharing makes system vulnerable.
- Multi factor authentication is not there, it should be there for more security.

- Virus scanning while files share is not provided which is a concern as we frequently deploy new applications in client system.
- Connection between two teams is easier

We use TeamViewer on daily basis to provide remote support to our clients. Usually to solve issues with their software, to give training sessions and being able to record the session with multiple users. Also, to control their computer to help them install and execute new updates and configurations. It works very well with us and also to our clients, since its easy to download and install

- you can either connect to last connections or a brand new in a matter of seconds
- Recording of sessions
Cons
- I think more safety in the remote connection
- better prices or promotions
- function to turn a computer on remotely
- subtitles available in real time
Return on Investment
