My advice to others looking into using BeyondTrust Remote Support is that for the years I've been working with the BeyondTrust team with multiple customers and environments, they've been consistently offering top-shelf support, whether your environment has 250 users or more than 25,000 users.

Session monitoring is valuable for users to record whatever actions administrators perform within the system, so management can easily understand the working level and ensure that no suspicious activities occur.

One of the great features is that service desk members can work together in a remote session.

A key advantage is over Password Safe, allowing third-party vendors access without directly onboarding them into the systems.

It is effective. It is a good way of making sure that you're auditing what's going on. It also makes the end-user feel safe that you're not getting into things that you shouldn't be getting into because they're authorizing different areas for you to see. It is a pretty secure tool. It is important as far as security is concerned. It is very effective in terms of the support personnel being able to get the job done when they need to. It is easy for the end-user or the person we're helping out to understand how to allow somebody in to get the work done.

I like Remote Support's ability to connect to a system without end-user interaction. A support engineer can log in to the system if a user is stuck and doesn't know where to go. This is helpful when conference room computers get locked down and the user can't access the guest OS.

The support team who are interfacing with us, are excellent. They are on time for any response.

It is pricey. It would be nice if it weren't so expensive because then you could afford more licenses and have more people involved, but I get it. They do have something that's unique compared to some of their competitors out on the market. It is a very robust and safe tool. If the price could come down, that'd be great.

The ability to connect mobile devices could be improved. Smartphones and tablets are becoming more prevalent throughout corporate environments. From time to time, we have problems connecting to those devices. You can't stage the application to connect without a user's input. You had to guide them through enabling permissions for the app. Then they need to enter the URL and session key. It would be great if they could streamline that process.

The solution currently is not stable and we gave a road map of our expectations two or three days ago.
