Contacting Support

TeamViewer itself is a terrific product but I'm disappointed when it comes to support. I can almost never get through on the phone because there simply aren't enough engineers. The workaround is to go to sales since they can sometimes answer support questions. This needs to be improved. Also the online help and knowledgebase are lacking in both information and functionality. Finally, the Interface is not always intuitive probably due to translation from German. For such an expensive product all this should be better. But as I noted above the product itself is excellent.

I found support surly and argumentative.

Even though i'm a licensed user i've been trying to get through on the phone all morning. At the very least make queue with an estimated waiting time since now the connection is just disconnected.

I've found submitting a ticket can also take a long time for a response. Also, sometimes the issue borders on emergency and having to hang up or ask for a callback aren't always useful. I'd rather have the phone stay on hold until someone can pick up instead of hoping to be available when someone calls back. It would be at least a little better if I could schedule a time for the callback, but that isn't possible. I can understand occasional system overloads, but it's been consistent since I first purchased TeamViewer several months ago and was told at the time the company was aware of the problem and working on a solution. So far it doesn't seem any better. I stand by my original complaint that TeamViewer needs to have a larger support staff. Incidentally, I have no complaint about the quality of support. When I actually get through to someone I've found the level competence and courtesy to be excellent. Just need more of them!

Hey there!

What can always work in your favour is to submit a ticket and ask to be called back (maybe even give some alternative times that you are available on).

That way the customer care and support staff will be able to shedule better and ring you up, instead of you waiting in line and not getting through.

Don't forget that telphone support is only available for licensed users.
