It was invaluable because we were able to simply send a link out to whoever we needed to help within our organization. They'd click on the link, and they'd simply give us the permission that we needed to get in there. 

We could also monitor what our different support staff members were actively doing when they were trying to fix an issue or problem. It made it very quick and easy. It wasn't anything complicated. It was something that even the lowest-tech type of a person within our organization understood and didn't have a problem with.

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.

I personally like the ability to share files with other machines. It gives me the ability to harvest the tools that I need for a job before handling them when I connect to that machine. I simply move that package over to the machine that I need to work on, then perform the needed work.

The solution does offer mobile support.

Setting up the cloud deployment is very simple. 

The solution is stable.

We've found the technical support to be quite helpful and very valuable to have.

Screen sharing, in general, is pretty important for a service desk. Another thing that I have found to be very helpful is that you can also do screen sharing on a cell phone. When people have an issue with their cell phone, it is ordinarily very difficult to troubleshoot the issue. With BeyondTrust Remote Support, you can share the cell phone screen, and somebody can take a look at it remotely. I am not sure if other competing solutions offer this feature.

It is pretty user-friendly. It is also good performance-wise.

Remote sessions are automatically recorded so there is a history of all coding and scripting. Notes and videos can be attached for both customers and service partners which is powerful.

Managing user accounts is easy. 

The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to be able to record sessions.

I like how easy Bomgar makes it to connect to end users and endpoints. I am able to easily connect to hardware all over the world.

• SAML integration
• Reporting capabilities
• Integration with ServiceNow
• Multiple web portals
• Jump Clients
• Remote mobile support

We like that it records the remote sessions. If a technician is logged into a user remotely to fix any problem, it records the decision. It takes screenshots and it saves those sessions in the cloud. This is important for audit purposes and these features make this solution stand out from the rest.

Remote shell and file management are critical tools that I leverage regularly on the Bomgar Remote Support platform. Also, the remote reboot feature is particularly valuable for rebooting terminal servers that have power controls disabled.

The file transfer feature allows IT to provide needed drivers and files without interfering with the employee's workflow. Also, it allows IT to "visit" and take over a session when assisting. 

• Live chat enabled a new support channel into our service desk, integrating with our Service Management toolset.
• The meet-in-the-middle remote control functionality bypassed a lot of network restrictions that hampered our previous solution, enabling a far wider reach to our end-users.
• Mobile device support option - While we are not currently making use of this, it is one that is on our roadmap to introduce and will be valuable for a heavily mobile workforce.

Having a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere is a good feature. It also offers the flexibility to support many customers with few licenses.

The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients. I am not very good with BeyondTrust since my team uses it.

We have integrated Bomgar's chat with ServiceNow and provide its chat as a main method of communication between our support team and users. The seamless integration of chat, our ITSM management software, and remote viewing/control software makes for a valuable tool.

The jump to feature function is the most valuable to us as it allows us to directly remote control customers. Furthermore, the Collaboration feature between technicians is also crucial.

We love the ability to customize our remote support page. You can add your logo and have your tech names on the page, so they can just click on the name instead of putting in a PIN. You can display whatever text you want. You can add a survey.

We like the flexibility to have a client on a computer log in on demand or give someone a link to log into their computer.

The ease of connecting with a client. No silly applets or anything to install. It just run the executable, then it connects almost instantly.

It's very secure, and it works very well. I like their remote support feature. It can be used for our clients' desktops or anywhere where the client can be working. I'd have to say the product is very good. It's a strong solution for us.

Integrated chat, jump to, and canned scripts.

Some of the valuable features are:

• Non-persistent agent: This is the most valuable feature as there is no permanent client agent on the end user's machine. Support representatives provide the user with a URL and a session key. The user enters the session, during which a small file is installed and then removed completely at the end of the session. It is secure because the company’s network needs to open only port 443.
• Support for Internet device with security: While majority of the users are on corporate networks, quite a few are on the move or home based. Hence, the ability to support users securely over the Internet is a key feature.
• High availability supported with an easy setup and updates: High availability is well implemented with the Atlas Cluster technology for Bomgar appliances. Thus, ensuring the service is available with relatively no down time.
• Remote support for Windows 10 and mobile devices: Support for Windows 10, Android and iOS provides flexibility for organizations to support a wide range of platforms and devices.
• Integration client for archiving: API and integration client for reporting session data and logs has an easy setup. In addition, setting up appliances, configuring the cluster, carrying out backup and updates are hassle-free processes.
• Jump feature enables a Support Representative to push client agent and start unattended session with local and Remote devices. Unmanned locations can take advantage of Jump point, a Role served by one of machines on that network as conduit for unattended connections, Wake up machines and even connect via vPro AMT interface.
• Remote Support 16.2 introduced Web Interface for Representative Console, with same functions as Desktop Console.

The most valuable feature would be remote support. We have over 4000 computers on campus and this is our go-to for remote support.

• You can access any device, running basically any type of operating system both on and off your corporate network to support users and their devices remotely.
• The solution works in a way that lets you control and repair a device as if it were sitting on your own desk.
• You can make your service desk work more efficiently with Bomgar Remote Support because you can integrate the tool into your existing ticketing system.
• Everything done during sessions is logged into session transcripts and video recordings, if you want. This helps during audits of remote access tools.
• The solution integrates with MS Active Director. That makes user authentication simpler and also safer compared to other local options.

The most valuable features are:

• The ease of deployment
• Performance
• Pre and post-sales support 
• The vast majority of the localization they have done
• The solution provider that they support. 

Bomgar brand, or now BeyondTrust's brand reputation is great. It is very strong, it's an undisputed global leader. You just can't argue about it.

You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own.

The most important aspect is the amount of compression the Bomgar team has done. They compress so much compared to other products. It really makes it stand out from its peers. If you have more sessions concurrently working, if the client does not compress enough, it would just basically chew up all the bandwidth. This is their DNA. It is just the best in compression.

Easy access to all my servers from one stop.

I like the interface and it's helpful for me that when I'm taking a session it's totally in my control.

We love the security, the flexibility and our end users especially enjoy the security and knowledge that when we are finished with their computer they can validate that the software was removed from their system. We like that we can customize the solution and we enjoy the screen sharing even on mobile phones.

Screen sharing and remote in ability.

The most valuable feature of BeyondTrust Remote Support is the ability to control screens remotely.

This is a very secure product.

There are a lot of features available.
