I'm hostage to this company. First try to find them; get your popcorn. Then they tell you the process but it doesn't work. Plan on giving 3 hours of your life to get rid of it. "It's easy" says my employer. Session never even worked and woud'nt hook up and now hours of misery. They want to make you pay for leaving them.
Teamviewer in previous years sent reminders 90 days in advance that the license was coming up for renewal, however this year Teamviewer conveniently failed to send me a renewal email and so the license automatically renewal, and the first I knew of it happening was when I received the invoice
Poor behaviour from a predatory organisation, no wonder the ratings are so low. There are many other alternatives for remote desktop support such as teams, which is free with your O365 subscription
I would not consider Teamviewer for any purpose or tool, submit you license cancellations and start using Microsoft Teams. It's a much better tool for remote support in the enterprise.
If I could give half a star that would have been too much still.
Contacted them -- which was extremely difficult -- about a scam I got involved in. Scammers used TeamViewer
ID 878-308-016 to load it on my PC. I contacted TeamViewer about it and got into an online chat and was told I would need to file a scam ticket. Easier said than done. Information required was impossible to locate to file the ticket and no one is available to help you. They will blow their horn about being so concerned about fraud but it simply is not true. If it were true, they should have made filing a fraud ticket easier and had help available to do so. This company is a scam and you should think twice about getting involved with it. There is no customer service except to make sales. Beware
They will sell you a premium license for lots of money but wont allow you to create a package that is customized for the price of that license. How do I know? My boss insists that our current licensing does that. Team viewer responds by saying that we have to buy another license to be able to do that.
Their site claims they use state-of-the-art security to protect the customers, but don't believe it. I attempted to download Office 365, was sent to a fake site, and the fake site used TeamViewer to access my computer. This site is used by hackers. Use at your own risk.
I went to the Teamviewer website to go and pay for my annual subscription. I saw that there was a new significantly lower pricing (old: $625) (new: $495.98). So, I thought oh, same account, same machine, they can transfer the license. I bought the license under the same account number, and email, and activated the license on the same machine).
Yesterday, I receive an email telling me that my card did not work for them to charge me an additional almost $700. I call and am told by a salesperson who proceeds to try to get me to think that I am getting a deal. He says that they set the price for their shareholders, etc, etc, etc... and that somehow I should think it fair that a current customer shouldn't automatically receive the lower price? That they'll forward to me the discount next year? Yeah, I think not.
Yeah, don't ever buy anything from this company. I have found another company that I will happily use in a year.
Do not purchase a team viewer license ever. They apply unethical and boarder line illegal practices in their contracts. I tried to cancel my subscription recently after being auto charged $550 for a year subscription. I started the process of cancelling days after they charged my card. I spent hours online, on their website chat support, and on my account trying to find a way to cancel and request a refund for the year of service I was unknowing charged for (they don't give any warning an auto charge is coming). After 4 weeks of getting the run around from customer service they final said okay we will cancel your subscription for next year (11 months from now) but we will not give you a refund period. Not even a proration refund on the year! They expect to keep the $550 for the entire year of service even though I am not and have not used the product for months! I am fighting this charge with my bank now but this is completely unethical and boarder line illegal in my opinion. Besides all of this the reason I am dropping the service is it rarely works. I have old computers in another state I want to log into and every couple of months they push some update that causes me to not be able to access the older computers without driving over or hiring someone to go there and manually update then. Defeats the whole damn purpose of having remote access if I constantly have to go there and manually update the computers! 1 star only because 0 stars not an option.
Whoever is in charge of development at Team Viewer has made it nearly impossible to support my end users. Version differences that are not forward or backward compatible block you from supporting end users. Then there is the limited licenses for support teams. Under the license that we have, we are only allowed three primary support licenses. So if you support someone on your work desktop and then get a call at home and are need to support someone from your home laptop, you have to remove the license from your work desktop computer first. They are making it far too difficult to support end users and are driving my company to look at other options. They started out as a good product, but now are making it very frustrating to support end users. We are reviewing other options.
They require a 28 written notice of cancellation prior to a forced auto-renewal. I don't need their software, but because I missed the single reminder email in my junk folder, I'm forced to pay over $1000 for a service I don't need.
With them claiming business use when you try to use it, it has shortened the time you are able to access the remote computer to around one minute. I use it to play a game and help out my parents remotely when they are having trouble, but will be switching to chrome as soon as possible.
In my opinion it is now a waste of time as it never use to be like this. And yes i have also tried sending in the PDF form to say its not for commercial use.
I got mail related my teamviewer account, and they asks me to pay ( usind debt collector) for service which already inactive. Very ridiculous action from teamviewer, especially when they already disabled my account.
Our TeamViewer contract was with a former employee who no longer worked for the company. We did not get the reminders about cancelling our renewing our contract until it was past the 28 day period. We only found out about it once the bill went to collections. I tried to talk to costumer service about our situation and that the employee who signed up for the program was no longer with us so we did not receive notification about renewal (this took place 2 week past the renewal date). My phone call was met with poor customer service and we were forced to pay for an entire year of a service we do not use. I offered to pay for the 2 weeks we "had the program", but no, they are making us pay for the entire year. Any company that makes you jump through hoops to cancel a subscription is shady. I do not recommend.
I had the same experience as many other reviews here.
Cancelled the service months before renewal due, then on the day renewal was due they send an invoice claiming the service must be cancelled 28days before, but only by a support ticket. Going by their response and discussions with Australian support this company needs to be reported as a scam.
Buyer beware! When purchasing a license for TeamViewer they auto renew your service. If you do not cancel before the renewal date. They tell you they send a auto renewal email to cancel the service if you need to. My service renewed in Jan 2021. They said they sent me a renewal letter in Nov 2020. I have yet to find the email. I saw the charge on my credit card. Called the company to cancel. Well, I can't. I can only cancel for 2022. I have filed a complaint with the BBB. So has many others. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Find another service that will work with you.
I tried the free version of team viewer to access my work computer from home. Seemed to work find for one day and after that would not let me sign in to my work computer. Could not get it to work so took it off my computer. Anybody know of a better FREE system.
As per FL statutes, they are supposed to send reminders about automatic renewals. They don't, thus violating FL Statutes. Their software is also garbage, requiring host and terminal computers to always have the same version in order for the connection to be made. This wouldn't be a hassle if they weren't constantly updating their versions. I am not always able to access the terminal computers to update them... which makes using teamviewer useless.
I have been waiting for over an hour to ask a simple question as to why my account was reactivated when payment take. Also to find out why they do not have a more reactive communication when there is a delay in payment especially due to COVID? Obviously they do not understand the importance of this type of communication in times like these!
This company is a ripoff and I would never recommend them to anyone. They are only out for the money and have no integrity. A bad company indeed! There are many other platforms out there that are free that work just as good and Zoom is one of them. Don' t waste your money on TeamViewer!
TeamViewer has very poor customer service and product performance. It's impossible to speak to TeamViewer, contact tech support and cancel their service. Once you've signed up it's impossible to cancel. During these difficult economic times TeamViewer is unwilling to refund annual fee for service we have never used and have repeatedly asked to cancel.
I used the free version of TV for at least and a year and was enthralled with how easy it was to use across my various PCs and remote servers. Enthralled, until in a fit of insanity I purchased the $1k license. Thinking the free was so good, the purchased version must be even better. Boy was I wrong. There were so many login requirements and half the time I couldn't get anything to work. Finally, I gave up and wrote off my $1k. Never pay for TV, if they start to ban you just delete the software.
Answer: They say I don't qualify to talk to a real person when I call the number and they don't respond to my tickets...
Answer: Definitely Chrome Remote Desktop. Been using for about 4 years now and haven't had any issues. Improvements over the few years since I first started using it have made it even better.
TeamViewer's reputation is significantly marred by widespread dissatisfaction regarding its customer service and cancellation policies. Customers frequently express frustration over unexpected charges, strict cancellation requirements, and inadequate support, often experiencing long wait times and unresponsive communication. While some users appreciate the software's functionality, many believe it does not justify the high cost, citing better alternatives in the market. Overall, the feedback indicates a trend of customers feeling trapped by the company's practices, leading to a negative perception of its reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction.
