Where TeamViewer wins

Need powerful remote technology for IT support, device management, and work from home? Then TeamViewer is the way to go. Find out how it outperforms AnyDesk below.

Simplicity

TeamViewer’s portfolio is as simple as it gets: Select your license based on the number of users you support, then choose your add-ons. With TeamViewer, you only pay for the features you need and always get market-leading technology.
Scalability

TeamViewer grows with your business. All TeamViewer solutions share the same environment. This makes it easy to scale up your license as your team grows. AnyDesk solutions are mainly built for SMBs. That means you could be missing out on advanced features like conditional access and multitenancy, as well as AI capabilities.
Security

Your security is TeamViewer’s number one priority. With advanced security features such as conditional access and Bring Your Own Certificate (BYOC), TeamViewer ensures that only authorized individuals can use TeamViewer or access your infrastructure. AnyDesk doesn’t offer conditional access or BYOC functionality.
Reliability

You can rely on TeamViewer, no matter what. With a global network of over 1,400 routers, TeamViewer ensures high-quality connections, even in low-bandwidth environments. TeamViewer’s remote access technology supports multi-monitor setups in full 4K resolution, allowing you to work with remote devices just as easily as if they were in front of you.
Compatibility

TeamViewer supports your entire technology fleet. Covering a combined total of 127 different manufacturers, TeamViewer solutions are compatible with a wide range of operating systems, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and operational technology (OT). AnyDesk products offer limited or no options for IoT and OT use cases.
Integration

TeamViewer fits right into your existing tech stack—thanks to its integrations with leading software vendors like Google, Salesforce, and SAP. TeamViewer is a 2024 Microsoft Partner of the Year, offering deep integrations for Teams and Copilot and the only remote support integration for Intune on the market to date.

Really helpful remote troubleshooting and collaborating tool for work from home startups Nitin S.'s review of TeamViewer Remote

Easy remote application for getting started Sadaharu K.'s review of TeamViewer Remote

“In my job, I support marketing teams and designers with troubleshooting. In the past, I used to provide instructions over the phone while trying to imagine the other party's situation. Both parties shared the same level of effort, but it was mostly a job where 'experience mattered'. After introducing TeamViewer, however, anyone with basic knowledge can provide support and handle tasks remotely. Issues that once took an hour to resolve can now be completed in less than 10 minutes. This not only reduces stress for everyone involved but also saves valuable time and resources.”

Reasons for switching to TeamViewer Remote:
“TeamViewer offers many excellent features in a simple and intuitive interface. It allows correct copying and pasting between different operating systems, supports file uploading and downloading, enables screen zooming in and out, and allows connections from various devices.”
