Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This product has drastically improved the speed and ease at which we provide client support from our Solutions Centre (service desk).""Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere.""This product "just works" (without fail) and is dead-easy for clients to connect with.""The time savings that we experience from being able to get hands on with a device experiencing trouble, and the time to resolve an issue is substantial.""The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients.""Bomgar has allowed our service desk (based in India) and our other support personnel based in the US to seamlessly support our users worldwide.""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.""You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Pros →

"It is stable and its technical support is good and quick.""This product solidly handles incident management, problem management, and change management.""Having a one stop shop for linked assets and tickets has improved end user adoption and led to a reduction in phone/email tickets.""The discovery feature is very flexible.""Technical support is good.""I think the most important feature is the ability to receive valuable ticket status support in a timely manner with little to no downtime interruptions.""Implemented system-wide process for approving and tracking "employee move" requests for over 15,000 employees.""We can track issues easier and run reports on issues to see if there are patterns."

Cons
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM.""The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance.""I would have picked an internal team member who was going to stay on the team for more time. Shortly after we went live, we had a change of staff and lost the main implementer.""Lacks some kind of voice communication option.""I would like more insight into completed sessions. This would be nice, such as a historical log into the technician client application.""I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console.""I would like to see more integration with iOS devices along with better connectivity and communication with these devices.""In the next release, I would like remote access to Chrome included."

More BeyondTrust Remote Support Cons →

"The mobile version of this product does not support asset management.""The workflow should be made to be more user-friendly. It should also have more granular scalability.""It would be nice if they added the ability to go directly to a form via a deep link URL.""The pricing could be a little lower and the product should cover more iTel versions.""It is pretty clunky and not very intuitive. Even though I have used it for many years, I don't think it is a very good ITSM platform in general. In the telecom space, a lot of telco providers use this solution, but from my perspective, it is not very user friendly. It is a bit more laborious. There are still too many human touchpoints. There can be a little bit more automation. It would also be good to integrate it with other tools. Integration is quite difficult, especially in the telco space.""Hyphens are not allowed in the quick search bar. This has created a problem in our environment where we use hyphens in our asset names.""We need more customizable reporting functionality. We could also use more collaboration of service desk tickets. This will allow for two departments to share the same information, track the progress of the total task scope no matter how complex the request is.""It would be better if it were more user-friendly. The reporting part in the version we have is a little complicated. It takes too long to build and report. It would also be better if there were another way to manage notifications."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This product provides value for money."
  • "​The product maintenance and licensing costs are on the higher end, so I would carefully review how many licenses you need. The concurrent license model is helpful in this manner.​"
  • "Pricing is reasonable for what the service is offering. If it is looked at from a purely remote control perspective then it might appear expensive, but it is the wider functionality that should be considered too."
  • "Bomgar has a very fair pricing structure."
  • "Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
  • "The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
  • "I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
  • "I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
  • More BeyondTrust Remote Support Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Cost was on par with other service desk products, and well below Remedy, while still being a BMC product."
  • "Our costs are well over $250,000."
  • "This solution has good pricing."
  • "The licensing for FootPrints is a perpetual license with an annual support fee."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by BeyondTrust Remote Support users.

    A Cybersecurity Architect at a tech vendor says, “The most valuable features are the ease of deployment, performance, pre and post-sales support, the vast majority of the localization they have done and the solution provider that they support. You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own.”

    An Enterprise Service Desk Systems Manager at a manufacturing company comments, "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."

    PeerSpot user Mark B., Sr VP of Business Operations at Networking Technologies and Support, Inc., explains that he thinks the solution is “Great for delivering end-user support, good at recording sessions, and very stable.
