Access servers securely over private networks but need better data transfer solutions
Azure Bastion is primarily used to access servers securely without exposing them to the public network. It is configured in a private network to allow accessing an environment without public exposure Azure Bastion eliminates the need for a jump server by providing secure access to servers without…

Remote sessions have become smoother and now resolve end user issues more comfortably
One feedback I have is regarding the voice feature. Whenever we take a remote session, the voice gets enabled automatically, and we have to mute it from our side. A pop-up asking whether we want to continue with the voice or not would be helpful when accessing a remote session. The audio system could be improved because sometimes we are not aware that we need to unmute the team while taking a remote session. The end user can hear us talking with colleagues, and we sometimes forget that we have unmuted while taking a remote session. If a pop-up appears when we take a remote session with the end user asking us to unmute ourselves, that would be better for us to proceed. When the pop-up appears, we can directly mute ourselves, and the end user will not be able to hear the background noise from the office. Since many colleagues are taking remote sessions and talking to end users simultaneously, there is often significant background noise. Having this pop-up appear when accessing a remote session with the end user would be a helpful update.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's setup is easy."
"It provides all the security to us. Without getting on the internet, we can access our servers. We can access our desktop through our web browser. We don't need to run the mstsc command and login to the VM. All those things are not required."
"Azure Bastion eliminates the need for a jump server by providing secure access to servers without hitting the public network."
"As an Azure consultant, for me, it is the best way to give the administrator access as you can manage the permission - including who can access Bastion."
"Overall, I had a very positive experience."
"The ability to operate the product with scripting is excellent."
"Azure Bastion is preferable because you just switch it on and off you go."
"The connection to virtual machines is very useful."
"We use the product to communicate."
"I like the possibility of using this software across different operating systems and clouds, such as AWS or Azure Cloud, while being able to efficiently transfer files and run the data."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."
"The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management is very simple."
"The product is secure."
"It is user-friendly for opening my server or PC."
"The screen-sharing feature is good. The latency is considerably lower compared to platforms like Zoom."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement with AI features. I would like to see integrated AI features with Azure Bastion, especially for connectivity issues."
"Speaking of AI, having Microsoft Copilot in Azure Bastion would be good."
"You are charged for retrieving your own data."
"The protocol speed could be faster."
"The solution breaks down sometimes."
"When you have a boot issue on Windows, you cannot use Azure Bastion to fix it. You have to use the Azure console or the VM console, and it is very limited."
"Azure Bastion does its job. However, it would be nice to have the capability to cut and paste across desktops, similar to old-fashioned Remote Desktop emulation."
"There are some challenges because Bastion is more compatible with Edge but not with the other browsers. As an organization, it doesn't make sense that we have to use only Edge. We should be able to access Bastion over Chrome, Mozilla, or Opera. It should be our choice."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"The audio system could be improved because sometimes we are not aware that we need to unmute the team while taking a remote session."
"One of the defects that I have noticed with TeamViewer Remote Management is that if I am on a certain version and the person to whom I am connected is not on the same version, then it does not connect at times until I update the solution."
"There have been some delays in the past due to unstable internet connection."
"Licensing has always been a concern, as it can be costly when we need simultaneous access for multiple users."
"Integration with other tools would be great."
"When a user is engaged in a chat on a system with a remote user present, copying the chat content isn't easy."
"I would like to see better pricing, more customization, and increased automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does not save money for us."
"The pricing is a lower decision point than high-quality security for our organization. Better security comes at a cost, but it's worth it, and that's what we tell our customers."
"The tool is cheaply priced. I would say that the product is free to use."
"Azure Bastion's pricing is good."
"We are now using the free version, but probably next year we are going to follow up with the paid version."
"The solution relies on cloud-based infrastructure so the price is tailored to each individual model used"
"It is a licensed product."
"We pay for a yearly license."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"The solution's license is expensive."
"My company needs to pay towards the solution's annual licensing subscription costs. There are no extra costs in addition to the standard license fees of the product."
