Insights overview


Hybrid and remote work environments create new challenges and often increase complexity for IT teams. Traditional monitoring tools only provide real-time visibility. Once an issue has passed, the evidence is gone. That means IT relies on incomplete symptom reports from employees, which slows down resolution and frustrates the workforce.

Modern problems require modern solutions and that’s where our new capability, Diagnostics, comes in. With Diagnostics in the TeamViewer DEX Platform, IT teams can shift from reactive firefighting to proactive, evidence-driven support.

In this blog, we cover:

What is Diagnostics?

So, what is Diagnostics? Put simply, it’s a new capability in the TeamViewer DEX Platform that helps IT teams detect, investigate, and resolve device performance issues before they impact users.

By combining live metrics with up to two weeks of historical data, Diagnostics allows teams to pinpoint when and why problems occurred, identify recurring patterns, and address root causes. The result? Improved reliability, faster resolution times, and higher user productivity.

Why we built DiagnosticsWith the rise of hybrid and remote work, IT teams now manage a wide variety of devices, operating systems, and configurations. This often across globally distributed workforces. A single user’s performance issue could stem from differences in device builds, patch levels, or local settings. Without historical data, validating and troubleshooting becomes nearly impossible.

Challenges arise when IT lacks historical context. Without this information, it’s difficult for IT teams to validate user complaints like “my system froze yesterday” or “my Teams calls kept dropping.”

When IT lacks deeper visibility into endpoints, organizations face several challenges:

  • Delayed resolution, with prolonged investigation cycles.
  • Lack of evidence, with no way to see what was happening on the device when the issue occurred, IT is left in the dark and unable to validate what happened.
  • High escalation rates, which add delays, costs, and reduce IT credibility.
  • Poor user experience, as unresolved problems erode employee trust in IT.
  • Lost productivity as recurring issues drag down performance.
