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

"Azure Bastion makes it easy to provide quick virtual machine access to our customers."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it is easy to use...It is modernized, so I can create complex infrastructures."
"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."
"Azure Bastion is preferable because you just switch it on and off you go."
"The product's setup is easy."
"The interface is available in the edit portal."
"The connection to virtual machines is very useful."
"It is a scalable solution...The initial setup of TeamViewer Remote Management was very simple."

"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 ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."
"I've left Splashtop running for seven or eight hours connected to a system. I've left TeamViewer running for seven or eight hours to a connection or two. I have a hard time working out on four computers at a time, but three is not impossible for me. So even if I've had three computers connected it has been fairly stable."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."
"The remote access is most valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"You are charged for retrieving your own data."
"The solution breaks down sometimes."
"Speaking of AI, having Microsoft Copilot in Azure Bastion would be good."
"While general support is valuable, having a detailed breakdown of the specific issues would contribute to a more streamlined and efficient resolution process."
"Currently, Azure Bastion does not allow for direct data transfer between desktops. A storage solution must be created to transfer data, and this requires additional permissions like ACL or NFS."
"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."
"The protocol speed could be faster."
"AnyDesk is easier compared to TeamViewer Remote Management since there is no password. We use AnyDesk more."
"I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it."
"There are some challenges with compatibility."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"The security could be improved."
"The price for the license could be improved, as well as the setup could be easier."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does not save money for us."
"Addition services could be lower priced."
"The solution's license is expensive."
