Solution elevates team collaboration and manages remote support efficiently
For me as a user in the service desk, there is already a lot of functionality in the product. I don't have any specific ideas for improvement on that side. Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management. For the end user, enhancements do not seem necessary at the moment. They could probably give the technician client a more modern interface, but the crucial factor is stable connectivity in a remote session. I see more potential for improvement on the administration side, like better transparency when a patch is installed. It would be useful for administrators to see the version and patch levels of the product easily. BeyondTrust could also enhance their quality control process before releasing a new build to ensure no new bugs are present. This is a common issue among software manufacturers.

Easy to install but needs to provide better server management and organization
I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server. Working with 100 or 200 server installations is comfortable, but not thousands. The scalability isn't very good because it's complicated. I would like more organization. For instance, they could add a table that matches an account to many servers at once. There could also be better education services. They don't have any certification program, at least in Ukraine, so the training is complicated and divided into different pieces. Cisco, for example, has a great education program that starts from the basics and progresses to advanced features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are able to be more effectively connected to computers and servers all over the world."
"It has allowed us to quickly address the needs and issues of our end users."
"You can't compete with TeamViewer or any other similar products. It's completely in a class of its own."
"Bomgar is used for connecting with our end users and helping them to resolve any issues that they have on their computer."
"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."
"The integrated chat service with quick elevation to a full control support session has increased our service desk efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of the solution concerns our company's main use case, which is for connection to our remote clients."
"Offers a secure method of access without having to install agents everywhere."
"We are convinced that Fudo PAM is better than competing products like WALLIX."
"it's perfect to control and administer computers in our company."
"Fudo PAM was the most flexible and intuitive interface out of all of the products in the PAM sector."
"The main benefit of the solution is that it's very easy to set up. It only takes a couple of hours to install everything."
"Session recording and password management are the two main aspects."
 

Cons

"iOS interactive support would be a cool addition. Right now it's a non-interactive view."
"The chat needs to improve. We need to enable set hours for chat support which are separate from the remote support assistance."
"There were a few employee devices that failed during the initial deployment, which required a second deployment."
"Some technical aspects could be improved, particularly in product management."
"I would also like to see better support of Apple devices while using a Windows remote support console."
"We sometimes have trouble accessing servers because of credentialing and multifactor authentication issues with PAM."
"They need to ensure that the remote support is compatible with the other cloud solution providers, like Huawei. Currently it is only compatible with Azure, AWS and KVM."
"This product has a lot of features that we do not currently use, so there may be some things that cause bloat and confusion."
"Fudo PAM’s scalability is not very strong."
"The stability is not very good."
"I would like to see better server management. You have to know exactly what you're looking for to get the right server."
"Professional training and certification would be great."
"The configuration is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The setup is complex. Purchase the remote implementation service and make them slow down and work with you."
"I highly recommend using the tech team properly trained by Bomgar. This will help the tool be more useful."
"I would like to order more licenses. This would allow us to support more end users concurrently."
"For a smaller customer, the cloud solution costs around $2300 per user per year."
"We pay every year for the box, and there are no additional costs."
"Although the upfront cost is a bit overwhelming, the appliance will pay for itself in less than two years."
"The solution is subscription-based and depends on the number of admin users."
"The pricing is great. We've been given discounts that make it cheaper than using any other solution."
