  ### 2. Usefull product

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David  N. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

Viewabo is simple to use and very helpful. The pointer feature works well; recording each call allows for post-call review. My staff uses the service daily, and its prevented several misdiagnosed issues.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

Some users struggle to figure out the text message, but only rarely. When the connection is poor the system seems to hang without advising that there is a connectivity issue.

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to easily get instant access to photos and video. Not having to download anything make the service better than Messenger or other similar apps. The ability to see what the customer is looking at as prevented several mistakes, overall the savings in misdiagnosed parts pay for the service and keeps our customers happier.

  ### 3. Easy, user friendly and stable

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emil F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2023

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

I like that it is easy to use and have good video quality. Best of the different services that I have used.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

Perhaps the interface. It could be cleaner, but that is not something which takes away from the user experience.

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Remote support for problems of advanced products that require more than just text or communication to solve. We feel it help us save time and get happier customers.

  ### 4. Great help for the technical side!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cheng W. | Technical Support Professional, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

I can assist and point with the pointer arrow to show where exactly where the component is. How easy it is to connect to customers' phones without downloading an app makes it quick to connect. It shortens my calls as a tech support agent as well with the above-mentioned assist. I can see customers' computers and tell them what to do with wires and where to connect to them.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

I just need to have an adjustable arrow slider and that is it to exactly pinpoint the small component.

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is solving issues for troubleshooting computers as a lot of parts are very small and pinpointing is very important. I can see what the customer is touching and tell them what to connect to.

  ### 5. Incredible tool !!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Denis C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2023

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

A picture is worth a thousands words - imagine a live video...
Very useful for troubleshooting filters and softeners at a distance and allows me to view exactly what the plumber is viewing at his end.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

Takes a while before the connection is established...

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Help plumbers and tech, and even end-users repair specialized water treatment units.  Technical service is way more productive with it.

  ### 6. Definitely a major time saver while for live technical support.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Hardware | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2022

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

Using the software for live troubleshooting of a customer's PC for checking hardware or confirming information on a system that cannot connect to the internet allows a technician to effectively be there with the customer without being there in person.  Especially with PC troubleshooting where presence and context are key, Viewabo is an invaluable tool.  With the addition of "Video Requests" where a customer can submit a recording rather than stream from their phone they can instead record the video and then submit the uploaded video which can help customers who are either not available for immediate troubleshooting or are in a region with a less than sufficient internet connection that would allow for streaming.

If you do any kind of live troubleshooting or need audio/video confirmation of an issue, Viewabo is invaluable.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

The only major limitation I have found with the software appears to not be at the software's fault, but while the camera is active on a web app a user is unable to use the flash/light on the phone.  Also the video stream may freeze if the screen goes inactive.

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In troubleshooting, having context to an issue as well as the ability to confirm something live is invaluable.  If a customer is experiencing an issue where a part is making a loud noise, or a system is unable to fully start or connect to the internet to use another remote tool then this tool is a game changer.

  ### 7. Very Useful!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Miriam M. | Customer Service Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2022

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

Super useful to see what customers are seeing and be able to guide them in real-time! Also love the feature that requests that the customer sends a video at a later time.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

For some reason when using Zendesk, it creates a new ticket every time a Viewabo request is created. Other than that, it is easy to use.

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sometimes when doing technical support calls it is hard to understand what issue the customer is experiencing. Viewabo really helps us to see what the customer is seeing and show them what they need to do in real time.

  ### 8. It is honestly a amazing program for tech support.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Juan A. | Technical support specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Viewabo?**

The easy access where the program is simple to use even for elderly customers or those who don't feel like they are in touch with technology.

**What do you dislike about Viewabo?**

the program itself does not let you or the customer access to the light/flashlight feature

**What problems is Viewabo solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Its a connection issue.  But that is more on the customer and where they live and the strength of the connection.
