"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."

"I have found the solution to be user-friendly even for beginners. It is not that sophisticated. There are different types of security features available, such as encryption and random machine ID."
"TeamViewer is useful for accessing data and systems remotely. Using this application, I can access other computers using an ID number that I provide to the users whose laptop I would like to access."
"The best feature is the remote access and being able to control another person's computer when you're showing them something, or teaching them how to do something during training, or fixing a problem they're having."

"Some of the additional features, like the meeting stuff, is making it too cluttered."
"A feature that they could add is chat with sound to talk."
"It would be very helpful if they could provide a manual for the installation process and describe more of their features."
