TeamViewer Manager remote support app now available for Mac

TeamViewer GmbH has announced the release of a Mac version of TeamViewer Manager. The TeamViewer product handles remote control of users' computers, usually for support and other troubleshooting.

TeamViewer allows support teams to remote-control a Mac or PC, even through a firewall, using an auto-generated password and ID, encrypting network traffic as well.

TeamViewer Manager is a database tool that automatically includes and updates support session details, such as tracking time spent per session--helpful for auditing or preparing invoices for remote clients on service contracts.

TeamViewer is free for non-commercial use, while business licenses begin at $699.
