Editors' Review
Useful during tech support and design collaboration, TeamViewer Portable enables you to take control of someone's screen or to share yours. Just install the on-the-go version of the popular desktop software on a USB key or portable drive and take its functionality with you anywhere.
Pros
Easy portability: You can install TeamViewer Portable to a portable device and then run it from that device. That means that, for instance, when using a public computer or someone else's workstation you can still access TeamViewer and work from it.
Familiar app: With TeamViewer Portable, you get the same functionality that you get from TeamViewer's desktop counterpart.
Perfect for troubleshooting: The portable version of TeamViewer is perfect if you're trying to troubleshoot or provide technical support. Instead of needing someone to install a program on their computer, you can just give them a USB drive with the program installed and have them launch it from there.
Cons
Settings aren't saved: TeamViewer settings don't appear to be saved when you're using the portable app.
Bottom Line
TeamViewer Portable is a very practical and useful app. If you need to view or control workstations in your organization, using TeamViewer Portable could save you time and effort.
