Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on May 29, 2009
TeamViewer is an excellent screen-sharing and file-transfer app that can be used to facilitate business collaborations as well as helping distraught relatives diagnose and cure computer problems. Along with being free for noncorporate use, it gives users precisely the tools they need to share screens securely, send files with a minimum of hassle, control access rights, and even flip which user has control.
The options available while you're in control work smoothly. You can maximize the pane that the other computer's screen is visible in, as well as utilize several smart options from a drop-down toolbar in the center of the window. A big X lets you close the connection, while the Actions button lets you switch whose in control, disable remote input, and reboot remotely. The View menu hides options to adjust the screen resolution, the optimization toward speed or quality, and control multiple-monitor displays.
When you log in, you're given an access code and a password. Sharing those allows your computer to be controlled by the level you set it to: remote support, presentation, file transfer, or VPN. The TeamViewer servers remember which computers you've connected to, so reconnecting to previously shared computers happens faster. TeamViewer also has a Web-based version, for remote connecting to home from public computer. Even the installation process is impressive. Users can toggle admin rights, can opt out of running at startup, and can opt into installing the TeamViewer VPN driver for more secure screensharing. Overall, TeamViewer makes screensharing and file-sharing as fluid and unobtrusive as it should be.

Version: TeamViewer 4.1.6507
Pros: You push a few buttons, and your computer transforms into your work computer. It's that simple.
Cons: Not sure if I can leave my work computer in sleep mode and still pull this off. I'm not keen on leaving my work computer powered ALL the time.
Summary: For all of you out there who think you can't get top quality applications for free...Once you try this program, and realize that you were completely mistaken, download AVG free version.

"TeamViewer Keeps Me Connected To My Info Wherever I Go"
Pros: Ease of Use; Flexibility; Supports Both Macs and Windows; Terrific Security Model; Free; What else could an person on the go need to stay connected;
Cons: At closure an irritating "friendly" reminder the free version is for personal use (which is how I use it). I understand necessity, but includes an appeal to "support" the product. Drop the "guilt" and extra click.Just charge less for a free version..
Summary: This is a MUST HAVE for the rest of us who must keep home networks and mobile laptops connected for data exchange as well as those of us who need to periodically give technical support to friends and relatives. Now if I could just fine a really goo... read more >>

Version: TeamViewer 4.1.6507
"Simply fantastic program. BETTER THAN GOTOMYPC"
Pros: FREE for non-commerical use. Brilliant!
Fast login and user interfaceCons: transfers are a bit slower than gotomypc, but when comparing pricing, there is no comparison.
Commercial version is still pricy...Summary: First off, I love their business model. It helps the common user connect with family and friends and share files and such. I love the program as it is easy to install, secure and feature rich. Highly recommended company and program.
