Featured Reviews

Aladin Steiner - PeerSpot reviewer
Has good scalability and provides secure access to the virtual machines
The product improved the security posture of our organization. We don’t have open ports and connect them to servers using it. We can carry out two-factor authentication to protect the devices with conditional access features. It would be nice to have a feature to copy and paste the files into servers. I rate the product a nine out of ten.
Babawale Awojinrin - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows the incorporation of systems and integration of remote systems
The initial setup is straightforward and requires three to five minutes. It starts with determining the PC's architecture (64-bit or 32-bit), leading the user to know which version to download. Additionally, there are a number of factors that need to be considered like the number of technical users for remote access, the number of remote locations, and storage requirements. These factors will guide the user license purchase. We should always factor in costs, and there's potential for offering more accessible pricing, especially in markets like Africa and developing countries, given their business environment. On the other hand, there have been challenges stemming from the transition; the previous owners used a free tool like NGINX for remote operations. Transitioning to a paid remote tool is driven by security and enhanced features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to operate the product with scripting is excellent."
"Azure Bastion makes it easy to provide quick virtual machine access to our customers."
"The product's setup is easy."
"Azure Bastion eliminates the need for a jump server by providing secure access to servers without hitting the public network."
"Azure Bastion is preferable because you just switch it on and off you go."
"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."
"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."
"The interface is available in the edit portal."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"The most recent enhancements are quite remarkable."
"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 user interface is fine."
"There are some great features."
"TeamViewer Remote Management is easy to use and user-friendly."
"The product is very stable."
"Almost all the features are valuable to me, like the scalable feature and its highly interactive software."
 

Cons

"Speaking of AI, having Microsoft Copilot in Azure Bastion would be good."
"There is room for improvement with AI features. I would like to see integrated AI features with Azure Bastion, especially for connectivity issues."
"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."
"You are charged for retrieving your own data."
"The protocol speed could be faster."
"We are not able to copy and paste files directly into the server over the patch host. We have to transfer files over to Azure Storage."
"The solution breaks down sometimes."
"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."
"I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it."
"I don't like having so many updates."
"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"The security could be improved."
"When a user is engaged in a chat on a system with a remote user present, copying the chat content isn't easy."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does not save money for us."
"Azure Bastion's pricing is good."
"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."
"There are no charges to be paid for the solution since I use it for personal use."
"I have used the free version of the solution."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"The solution relies on cloud-based infrastructure so the price is tailored to each individual model used"
"My company uses the free version of TeamViewer Remote Management."
"We pay for a yearly license."
"It is a licensed product."
"The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive. The license is procured on a yearly basis and is expensive."
