Map viewer alternatives for simple viewing
The ArcGIS Online map viewer is a great app for authoring web maps and more. But for a variety of reasons it's just not the best option when you want to make your web maps available to a broad audience, for example decision makers in your organization, or the public.

There are lots of other alternatives, and most are better for a more public audience. And they're easy to use and configure to boot.
