Barracuda RMM vs. TeamViewer

It is very good for Managed Service Providers to be able to monitor and manage multiple clients at a time from one central location. Many things can be automated through it so that they don't require your constant attention. It would not be as appropriate for internal use at a company, is more suited for MSP's.

Most suitable for large corporations who want to have real-time control of multiple devices in different countries. It is not suitable for scenarios where permissions for using the system need to be obtained from the user for every session if there is no support subscription in place.

• Agentless, unlike most RMM, you don't need to download and install an agent on the devices. The onsite manager (OM) will scan the entire domain for computers, network devices, printers, etc.
• Remote access: Users have to select whether to access shared screen or via RDP.
• Detail Dashboard Information: it has a very reach feature that displays information about system components.

• Quick support is an nice feature to make it easy for the end user to download and use
• Easy to connect using numbers
• The connection is always good when connected to an end user
• The tool is easy to use, the buttons are easy to understand what the use for it is

• It can be hard to use at first glance
• Does not work well on weak and old laptops
• Otherwise everything is perfect

• Now, it doesn’t work in fast network environments: sometimes, data is delayed during transfer.
• There are a small number of ways that a user is allowed to change the interface on the device.
• Some minor increases in difficulty with advanced functions of the application.

As long as I continue to provide remote support for my clients, it's a no brainier. For what I pay out, I probably make it back tenfold in the ability to provide remote support from wherever and whenever. Not to mention the saved gas money for a fix that only takes 5 minutes but it takes you 20 minutes to get there. As my business continues to grow, and I support more and more clients, my need for TeamViewer will only grow.

Compared to other products I've used (ConnectWise Control), TeamViewer is harder to set up and get connected. It is especially difficult to set up "permanent" unattended remote access, where you want to be able to connect to and control a remote computer without having to exchange codes and passwords every time you connect.

We get what we need with our TeamViewer licence.

Steady connection and easy quick connect and disconnect

We've tried many times to work with support to accomplish various tasks in the system with minimal responsiveness and success. Most of what we have accomplished has been without support and through trial/error.

The support from the Teamviewer team has always been top notch. Any support ticket that we have submitted has been handled very quickly and with the best possible resolution. We find in most cases, contacting for a support ticket is not even necessary, as the knowledge base is more than adequate.

As expected without any problem! Alternate in-person training is another efficient way to learn how a product works. There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.

I have never used the online training either. I have watched a few informational videos that were helpful when learning how to do a specific procedure within TeamViewer and get the most out of the software by utilizing one of the many features that are available with the software. Again, 5 if for neutral.

Installation and configuration of the TeamViewer does not pose a huge problem and we were able to install the software in our network within one week. Helping staff was organized in the form of training sessions to understand the different aspects that it offers and because of its rich graphical user interface, adoption was easy.

• Barracuda Managed Workplace definitely handles live notifications better then Lansweeper.
• We currently use Lansweeper for Software Deployment and Patch Management
• Nagios has better visuals for network layout and heartbeat monitoring
• We are assessing TeamViewer/AnyDesk now for better Remote Desktop support. But Barracuda does handle this task very well and we wouldn't be put out to continue using Barracuda for this.

Incentivized

In my position, I have also used AnyDesk because we frequently utilize various software for different tasks. However, we opted for TeamViewer because our team members are not technically inclined. They are experts in other areas. TeamViewer was the ideal choice for us since we needed a software program that even non-techies could use.

I've rarely had problems with the product.

• It has really helped us in reporting. We need to show our customers that our monitoring is helping them and the reports are very helpful in doing that.

Incentivized

It took about 3 months.

• Customer Support of our business has become more interactive with customers, leading to faster resolution of their problems.
• Remotely accessing devices in our office allows employees to stay productive while working from home.
• TeamViewer helps us to collaborate with other firms for projects we're doing.
