Totally appalled with their level of customer service. I was automatically billed again because they claim that I have already agreed to it when I signed up. However, no notification was sent before they deducted the amount from the credit card.
When I emailed them about this matter, they repeatedly insisted that they will not refund. Finally they said they will close the case since it's been resolved. When I emailed back and told them it's not resolved yet because I demand for a full refund, they rudely replied case is CLOSED!
What kind of insolence reply is this?

Never use this company!
September 25, 2019

Good luck trying to remove auto-renewal of your subscription. If you ever reach support, they will mumble crap about their agreement. I'm stuck with a $588 bill for a service I do not want. The past year, their service was intermittent and support was non existent.
I submitted my cancellation demand, per their instructions with no means of acknowledge receipt of my cancellation demand. Company is a fraud and I have reported to the Texas Attorney Generals office.

Team Viewer SUCKS
October 1, 2019

Super crappy because:
1. They spam the hell out of you when you upload it
2. Not intuitive in the least. Really poor UI
3. Attaches itself to your dock (Mac) and stays there unless you get rid of it

Awful

When it works it is pretty good. But after a while it claims commercial use (which is absolutely not true), stops working properly and try to sell you a insanely expensive subscription.
Don't waste your time.

Product itself was OK, but they refused to refund after accidental renewal of an yearly subscription. I ended up paying for 2 years now, when I only needed one.

They are essentially making business on people not reading their EULA. On yearly subscriptions:
"In order to terminate a subscription, a written request must be submitted at least 28 days prior to the date of renewal"

I respectfully asked for a refund, but they are unapologetic about it.

I cannot believe I received an automatic renewal notification from TeamViewer today... the very day of the automatic renewal. There was no notification prior to today. I had no intentions of renewing and since the subscription was completed online, via a phone conversation, I was completely unaware of a 28 day prior to renewal policy which can only be delivered in writing!

Of course, I have closed the credit card account before they were able to make the charge but I do suspect I will receive some sort of attempt to damage my credit in retaliation of their shady business practices.

We are entirely too busy to keep up when every online subscription will be renewing. To not send out an invoice at least 30 days in advance is an absolutely horrible business practice. I will be voicing this review on every outlet possible in order to keep other businesses from an obvious trap set by a predatory company.

The software was great when it worked.
The customer service was the most appalling i have EVER received.

They tried to renew my subscription but without notifying me in advance, just took the money.
I ended up having to get it back via the bank.

They offered no apology, no way of making it right and basically threatened me that i had to pay.

I didn't and they won't be getting it.

Absolute joke of a company.

Unethical company
December 20, 2021

Didn't want a business licence in the first place as I only intended to use the software to support my elderly father with his I. T. needs but the software kept saying that I was using it for commercial purposes. Quick call to their support line ended up convincing me to buy a business licence. When I tried to cancel on renewal, I was told it was too late because I hadn't given them 28 days notice. Told if I didn't pay, they would use debt collectors to collect money. Yet, they only sent me a reminder email 14 days prior to renewal. So, I'm left with a £460 bill to use a bit of software once or twice a month to help my father make his Westfield claims. Clearly I would advise NO ONE to use Teamviewer, let them go out of business and then maybe they'll reflect on how human beings SHOULD treat one another.

Overpriced software with predatory hidden terms and conditions. Numerous complaints online about their unexpected renewal conditions and they are quick to threaten customers with legal action and submission to collections.

If you account should reach a status where an invoice is outstanding, they will refuse to communicate or work with you unless you pay. Don't pay? It will go to collections. Absolutely no customer service.

It is very difficult to work, i had a call with the client and it was very difficult for me to explain the new interface to the customer. Addiosionally when i was given the id from the customer the Teamviewer demanded log in, thus an already frustraded customer had to wait for me to log in. Finally i asked him to switch to anydesk which did the job in the end.

The company will automatically renew your subscription and charge you the annual fee even if you send them a cancellation notice. If you have been victimized by this company and you are a resident of California or your company does business in CA, please file a complaint with the CA Dept. of Consumer Affairs. They are easy to find online. You should also pursue a claim through your credit card company and sue TeamViewer in your local small claims court to get your subscription refunded. TeamViewer is RIP off!

Poor business practices
November 12, 2020

Very poor business practices: Forcefully feeding ads to their paying customers about further paid upgrades. Also a very shoddy pricing model for the products. Choose a competing product instead who actually see their customers as something more as a bag of money!

Teamviewer has outdated cancellation policy. Buyer beware they require a 28 day cancellation before contracts ends. Most states have laws against this type of cancellation. Call your BBB agency and complain. Don't take this laying down.

I do not recommend this company please stay away from them if you can. I reached out to them several times about a pro rated refund because our policy auto renewed during the Coronvirus shutdowns. They refused any refund and said that it clearly states in their cancellation policy they don't do refunds. I think it is unethical for a business like this to not work with a small business likes ours to help us in a time of a global pandemic when cash flow is critical. We will never do business with this company again because of this and the poor customer service I received as well. The company blocked my email after the 4th request I sent that went unanswered looking to get answers. Horrible business practice I'm very disgusted.

Fraud Company
September 8, 2021

The company is fraud and try to lute money from the customer. As business user there is no option to cancel your account, only option is sending email. If you forgot they will threaten to pay money. We have to think seriously to take legal action against their cooked policy and payment options

Was in a relationship with a man who stole my identity and put all of my private details on TeamViewer. Illegally stalking and harassing me through my devices and spying on my 11 year old with his clients tagging along, hacking my emails and fb accounts. TeamViewerneeds to be shut down. Shawn Jensen

Only needed it for a project of 1 month. Now it got renewed automatically for an entire year. And the product wasn't even good. I just had to go with it due to my customer. So even I didn't use it for over 10 months they refuse to refund me.

Do not be fooled to pay this company any money. The product is under developed and not cross version compatible. It is also infested with security risks. Meaning you will only be able to remote to a unit unless its using the exact same version. Even though you pay.

Use ANY other remoter and save yourself a lot of money and grief

I used this program for 2-3 years with not many issues, but with newer versions, I started to find more and more bugs and know it escalated into disconnection after 1-2 minutes of sessions. When I try to reconnect it give me a message that time is up, and should buy this program, but how? Even if I wanted this program, which I don't, thank you. There is no option for personal use (cause it should be free, which isn't) and only business which is like 30 bucks, don't have, even if I had not for this.

As you can see in image this message pops up and even after I wait the given time it resets time and the same message pops up again.

TeamViewer works really well for me! I've been using TeamViewer for nearly five years, and I find it very user friendly, highly functional, and low footprint on my desktop. If all else fails, I'll read the manual (as with any software tool), and I don't have to do that much with TeamViewer; it's quite intuitive and easy to navigate.

Date of experience: February 28, 2021
