Our verdict

TeamViewer suits IT teams and support staff who want remote control, endpoint management and automation from one vendor, and are fine requesting a quote. Skip it if you only need a free tool for occasional work use, because the free version is limited to personal use.

What it does well

  • Free version for personal use on its download page
  • Clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, ChromeOS and Raspberry Pi
  • Lists ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA/HITECH and SOC 2 and 3 alignment

Where it falls short

  • Prices are not shown on the public pricing page; you request a quote
  • Free version is personal use only; work use needs a commercial licence
  • Subscriptions are annual and renew automatically every 12 months

TeamViewer describes itself as a platform for remote support, endpoint management and real-time automation. Its site also lists a digital employee experience feature, an AI assistant called Tia, an AR product called Frontline, and integrations with Microsoft Intune, ServiceNow, Jira, Salesforce, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

The download page lists Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, ChromeOS and Raspberry Pi, and the site links to a web app. The free version is described as available for personal use only; work-related use, use inside an organisation and revenue-generating activity need a commercial licence.

On the pricing page, licences are grouped as for single users, for teams and for enterprise (TeamViewer Tensor, fully customised). Subscriptions are paid and renewed annually, and only the expert who starts the session needs a paid licence, not the person being supported. Add-ons such as Asset Management, Endpoint Protection, Device Monitoring, TeamViewer Assist AR Lite and Mobile Device Management are priced by endpoints, users or storage and have a 30-day free trial. Non-profit and education organisations are offered a 30% discount.
