What sets TeamViewer remote control software apart?


 

Security

  • Industry-leading encryption. 4096-bit RSA key encryption and 256-bit AES session encryption keeps your data safe from interception during remote control sessions. Protecting your data and privacy is our top priority.
  • Supporting your wider security practices. Through TeamViewer Tensor, enterprises can deploy conditional access policies to enforce company-specific security protocols, giving you granular control over who can access what.
  • Two-factor authentication. TeamViewer’s remote control software offers two-factor authentication for connections to secure devices. Alternatively, devices can be configured to be accessible via a 2FA-protected account only. 2FA can also be used to secure user accounts, preventing unverified access attempts from unknown devices.


 

Accessibility

  • Effective remote control for unattended devices. Wake-on-LAN enables the temporary waking/rebooting of unsupervised end devices for ease of maintenance.
  • Cross-compatibility. Access and remotely control all manner of niche devices, e.g. Android-based information displays, from a single remote control software solution.
  • Integrations. Integrate TeamViewer Remote with your key business software to embed TeamViewer remote control functionality into your critical business systems.

  • High transmission quality. Effective remote control capabilities even in areas with low internet bandwidth, thanks to stable connections and the best possible transmission quality.
